"The children have had their own builders' yard in their outdoor learning area where they have been making homes for three little pigs."
From next summer, Heatherlands School will become a primary school for children aged four to eleven. The school will grow by one year group each year, until it will be a full primary school by 2015.
"The new layout of our Foundation stage classrooms has made a big difference to the way the children interact with each other" added Mrs Burns.
"We were spread out in different buildings before; now we have a reception class-base that brings the whole year group together, lends itself to shared learning experiences and is helping the children make friends across classes."
