We adhere to the Early Years Foundation Stage requirements of providing activities which help children to develop in the six vital areas of learning. Here are the areas and a brief account of how we hope to achieve them within our sessions:
| Language, Literature & Communication |
Helping the children to listen, extend their vocabulary and communicate, as well as encouraging the beginnings of reading and writing, Imaginary play, song and story times and opportunities to draw, recognise letters and their sounds is great for this. |
| Creative Development |
Children enjoy exploring, using their imaginations sharing their thoughts and ideas through art, music, dance and role play activities. |
| Physical development |
By producing opportunities to be active, promoting co-ordination, control, manipulation of equipment and in gaining an understanding of the importance of being active and healthy.
|
| Personal, Social & Emotional Development |
By encouraging the children to play together in groups to gain confidence and by promoting positive self esteem; being aware of their’s and others feelings and sharing. |
| Maths & Science |
To familiarise Children with the basics in a broad range of activities for example matching, counting, sorting, measuring concepts of size, sand and water play. |
| Knowledge & Understanding of the World |
Observing different environments, cultures and beliefs. Supporting children to understand the world around them through experimenting and real life situations. |
We vary the available activities daily planning for the children’s individual learning. This ensures that the children are experiencing new and exciting things. These themes form part of our curriculum. Our 2011/12 curriculum plan can be viewed here. |
