We use a thematic approach to delivering our Early Years curriculum. Over the course of the year, we will be preparing the children for the next stag in their learning through a range of projects.

 

Each project allows us to explore learning in all seven areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage Statutory Framework:

Personal, Social and Emotional Development

Communication and Language

Physical Development

Literacy

Mathematics

Understanding the World

Expressive Arts and Design

Autumn Term

 

Art and Design: Marvellous Marks

Exploring mark-making through different drawing materials. Beginning to draw from observation using faces and self-portraits as a stimulus.

 

PSED: Self-regulation: My feelings

In this unit, children are learning to explore and understand their feelings, identify when they may be feeling something, and begin learning how to communicate and cope with their feelings and emotions.

 

Science: Changing Seasons

Observing how the natural world transforms through the year and recognising how these changes affect the weather, plants and animals.

 

Design and Technology: Structures: Junk modelling

In this unit, pupils explore and learn about various types of permanent and temporary join. They are encouraged to tinker using a combination of materials and joining techniques in the junk modelling area.
