Our curriculum is not separated into subjects as in the rest of the school, but into six areas of learning. These are as follows:

Personal, Social and Emotional
This is how we look after ourselves and others; how we build relationships with adults and other children; how to share and work together.

Sometimes we are learning how to be alone.

Communication, Language and Literacy
Learning about letters, words, reading and writing.

Knowledge and Understanding
This is where we learn about geography, history and science. This was a test of how absorbent different materials are.

We also role play things like a trip to the hairdresser or writing a shopping while sitting list in a box.

Physical Development
We have outdoor activity available as much as possible. We use bikes for two people to help the children to share and take turns as well as build up strength and agility. At the moment we don’t have a climbing frame of our own, so we go to Fairway Early Years Centre. Thanks to the staff and children for allowing us to keep fit.

Creative Development
Many people think that creativity is art. We can be creative in any area of learning.
This includes music, science and design & technology.

Learning through play
In Reception we make learning fun. Our aim is to have children who are settled and safe and who are excited about coming to school.

Sometimes we have special activities like face paints, nail varnish or spinners. None of these are traditional school activities, but they are enjoyable social activities.
