| Our Sessions The foundation stage curriculum is organised into six areas of learning:
At pre-school we carefully plan
activities in order that the children have access to all these areas
of learning. Often one experience provides a child with opportunities to develop
a number of competencies, skills and concepts across several areas of learning.
Therefore they may be developing language, mathematical, physical personal and
social skills through this one activity. Play is at the heart of all our
teaching. Through both child initiated and adult initiated play the children learn pre-writing,
reading and number skills, social skills and personal responsibility. Imaginative play helps children
form relationships with each other, they learn to share and develop
self-control, self-confidence, independence and inter-dependence. Creative play
can help children develop their thinking and scientific skills, problem solving
skills, fine motor skills and creative talents. Physical play encourages
children to develop balance and control of their bodies and the ability to play
co-operatively (recognising space, agility and size) and hence personal
responsibility. Finally songs, stories and rhymes help develop children's
communication skills and aids concentration. The pre-school day is split
into two different sessions, pre-school sessions take place in the morning and
Abacus sessions in the afternoon. Click on a link below to see a typical
