Early Years Foundation Stage
In Early Years we learn through play and first hand, practical experiences and we thread all our learning objectives through child centred, fun, topic based activities. All our children will be encouraged to become confident, independent learners who are excited by challenges and problem solving.
We hope to instill an excitement and a love of learning, whilst supporting your child to grow and flourish in all areas of the EYFS curriculum.
Early Learning Goals
Phonics
In Early Years we teach phonics using Letters and Sounds. We use Jolly Phonics as a tool to aid this as it is a fun and interactive. We learn actions for each of the 42 letter sounds, the multi-sensory method is very motivating for children. The songs are catchy and the children are taught the corresponding actions. This links visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning styles. Jolly Phonics is available on You Tube and therefore can be accessed at home by parents to support the learning the children do within class.
Letter sounds we have introduced so far:
