PRE-SCHOOL>
FOUNDATION STAGE
|
The foundation stage
is for children aged 3-5, and covers the years they spend from
the beginning of nursery to the end of reception class in Lower
School. It was introduced in September 2000 in order to cover
areas of children’s development during these important
years in your child’s life.
It is a framework by which Early Years Practitioners continue
to provide activities which will prepare them for when they
reach Year 1.
There are six broad areas of learning referred to as The Early
Learning Goals.
|
| |
| PERSONAL,
SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Your child will learn to be self-confident, take an
interest in things, know what their own needs are,
tell the difference between right and wrong, and be
able to dress and undress.
|
| PHYSICAL
DEVELOPMENT
Your child will learn to move confidently, controlling
their body and handling equipment. |
| CREATIVE
DEVELOPMENT
Your child will explore colours and shapes, trying
out dance, making things, telling stories and making
music.
|
MATHEMATICAL
DEVELOPMENT
Your child will develop an understanding of maths through
stories, songs, games, and imaginative play. They will
become comfortable with numbers and with ideas such
as "heavier than" or "bigger than".
They will be aware of shape and space. |
| COMMUNICATION,
LANGUAGE AND LITERACY
Your child will learn to talk confidently and clearly,
enjoying stories, songs and poems, hearing and saying
sounds, and linking them to the alphabet. they will
be encouraged to read and write some familiar words
and learn to use a pencil. |
KNOWLEDGE AND
UNDERSTANDING THE WORLD
Your child will explore and find out about the world
around them, asking questions about it. They will build
with different materials, know about everyday technology
and learn what it is used for. They will find out about
past events in their lives and in their families' lives.
They will find out about different cultures and beliefs. |
|
| |
Now that your child is getting nearer to attending school more
emphasis is placed on learning. Their inquisitive minds will
be fed daily with information about the world we live in. There
will be access to a computer. Of course there will be plenty
of creative free play to keep them interested and refreshed.
