The Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum is organised into seven areas of learning. Three Prime areas: Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Physical Development and Communication and Language. There are then four further Specific Areas: Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World and Expressive Arts and Design.

Much of the learning takes place through practical hands-on activities. Structured play, such as in the home corner or using construction sets, is seen as an important part of the youngest children’s development, enabling them to develop new skills and understanding and build relationships with other children and adults in the classroom.

We learn to read using the Little Wandle Phonics programme.  Please click on the link below to find out more.
