In the morning session, many activities are centred around a general theme such as Night-time, Our Senses, or Baby Animals, for a period of up to a fortnight. Children are encouraged to bring in items for display on a table, which will then be discussed at daily chat time.

Activities shown are typical of those at ACE but not all days are alike; the structure may alter to accommodate additional activities – such as school outings or trips to a local school gym.
