Children in our Nursery classes follow the curriculum for the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). There are basically seven areas of learning: 1. Communication and language, including listening, speaking and understanding. 2. Physical development, including moving and handling, and health and self-care 3. Personal, social and emotional development, including self-confidence and self-awareness, managing feelings and behaviour, and making relationships 4. Literacy 5. Maths 6. Understanding the world 7. Expressive arts and design Children in nursery classes typically wear school uniform and often join in with the rest of the school in activities such as lunchtime routines, play time, assemblies, school plays and sports day. This helps them integrate with older children and learn some of the routines of the school day in readiness for starting Reception. Children take part in a range of learning activities, such as listening to stories, beginning to learn phonics, counting and measuring, singing and making music, drawing and painting, and PE, along with a lot of free play.
