The EYFS Curriculum |
|
When children enter our Foundation Stage we recognise that they are all unique and that they bring with them a wide variety of experiences. From these early years, through to leaving us at the end of year 6, it is our aim to help each child to develop socially, emotionally and academically to enable them to move on to their next school as confident, thoughtful and capable young individuals.
We recognise the important role that parents play in their child's education and well-being. Class teachers therefore welcome the opportunity to work closely with parents at every opportunity. Every child is given their own online learning journal where parents and teachers can work together to record and document your child's progress in the classroom and beyond.
During the Foundation Stage children will develop at varying rates in the different areas of the curriculum. Continuous observations allow us to assess each child's ability, and progression, through the seven key areas of learning and development:
communication and language;
physical development; and
personal, social and emotional development.
literacy;
mathematics;
understanding the world; and
expressive arts and design.
The EYFS classroom (Class Acorn) is set up to provide structure play based opportunities around these seven areas. Our curriculum links these areas through overarching topics and through book based focus weeks. The learning opportunities are also reflected in an outside space that offers opportunities to engage in learning in a more physical and adventurous way.
