The Over arching Principles of EYFS
Unique Child: Every child is unique and has the potential to be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured.
Positive Relationships: Children flourish with warm, strong & positive partnerships between all staff and parents/carers. This promotes independence across the EYFS curriculum.
Enabling environments: Children learn and develop well in safe and secure environments where routines are established and where adults respond to their individual needs and passions and help them to build upon their learning over time.
Learning and Development: Children develop and learn at different rates We must be aware of children who need greater support than others.
PLAY is essential for children’s development across all areas. Play builds on children’s confidence as they learn to explore, to relate to others around them and develop relationships ,set their own goals and solve problems. Children learn by leading their own play and by taking part in play which is guided by adults.
The 7 areas of learning are encompassed in our school curriculum.
Over the year the children are immersed in 6 different topics:
•Super Me
•Space and celebrations
•People who help us
•Once upon a time
•All creatures great and small
•Under the Sea
In school we follow a phonics scheme called Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised. We have followed this scheme for 4 years now and invested heavily in books which are matched to your child’s phonic level.
The scheme has proved successful and the children make excellent progress. Our phonic test results are excellent.
