Academic 9 Details of each stage of the curriculum are available on our website. The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Curriculum is based on the recognition that children learn best through play and active learning. In Reception, teaching is based around the seven areas of Learning and Development as outlined in the EYFS statutory requirements. These are broken into three prime areas: Personal, social and emotional development Communication and language Physical development Along with four specific areas: Literacy / Maths / Understanding the world / Expressive arts and design. Curriculum: Reception Years 1 and 2 are part of Key Stage 1 and follow the National Curriculum, with extras. There are some subjects that are taught independently in order to reach the necessary objectives. However, we also teach a creative curriculum which is more topic based, where several subjects are taught within one activity. This helps to encourage children to be independent learners in an age appropriate way and make links across the curriculum. Curriculum: Years 1 and 2 Workshops for parents will be offered early in the Autumn term to show how we teach Phonics and what you can do to support your child. Red word spellings are taught separately (high frequency words). Phonics Using our extensive outdoor area, the aim of Forest School is to promote pupils' rights to instigate, test and maintain curiosity in the world around them, make their own choices and assess the risk for themselves. Led by experienced and qualified staff, pupils will build, cook, discover and explore. Year 1 and Year 2 have this every other week for the whole year. Forest School
