There
are six areas of learning:
The areas are equally important and depend on each
other to support a rounded approach to child development. There is a balance of
adult led, adult initiated and child initiated activities.
Communication
Language and Literacy
Children will learn to become confident in
communicating, speaking and listening, listening to and understanding stories
and beginning to read and write. They
will use these skills in a range of situations and for different purposes.
Personal,
Social and Emotional Development
Children will have experiences which help them to
develop a positive sense of themselves and others, respect for others, social skills
and the disposition to learn.
Problem
Solving, Reasoning and Numeracy
Children will develop their understanding of
Mathematics in a range of contexts. They will explore, enjoy, learn, practice
and talk about their understanding of number, space shape and measures and
calculating.
Creative
Development
Children will be provided with opportunities for
exploration, curiosity and play with a variety of materials. They are encouraged to share thoughts, ideas
and feelings through art, music, movement, dance, imaginative and role play
activities.
Physical
Development
Children will be supported in developing the skills
of co-ordination, control, manipulation and movement. This area also
encompasses learning about the importance of physical activity, hygiene and
healthy choices in relation to food.
Knowledge
and Understanding of the World
Children will
be gaining the knowledge, skills and attitudes that help them make sense of the
world. This area covers science, history, design and technology and ICT.
