EYFS
Our Early Years Foundation Stage consists of two classes. Children have daily access to indoor and outdoor learning, within both our garden and on our playground. Areas of learning in all our spaces are developed with ‘Early Excellence’ in mind. We have half termly themes which are carefully planned to ensure all seven areas of learning in the EYFS are met and that all children make good progress towards their Early Learning Goals.
In EYFS, we have linked CARE to the Characteristics of Effective Learning:
Curious Coco – Explore and play. Have a go! (Playing and Exploring)
Active Autumn – Focus and keep on trying. Enjoy and it will show! (Active Learning)
Reflective Ronnie – Think and make a link. Show what you know! (Creating and Thinking Critically)
Evolutionary Emily – Build on your ideas. Learn something new! (Creating and Thinking Critically)
Children are encouraged to earn their CARE bear medals through showing the above attributes. Children are awarded their medals throughout the year during a celebration assembly.
