Early Years Foundation Stage  

Key Principles

Unique Child

 

 

We know that the most effective learning and development takes place when children feel safe and secure and when adults tune into their unique interests, needs and abilities. We love finding out about our children's fascinations! It helps us plan experiences that motivate them to learn. 
Celebrating our unique backgrounds!
We are very lucky to have children with many different home languages in our Nursery and Reception classes. We celebrate and promote these languages through 'Language of the Month' activities and dual language story telling.

Positive Relationships

At William Bellamy Primary positive relationships between adults and children are considered a priority. Carefully planned transition arrangements allow adults to spend time getting to know each child and his or her family. Each child is allocated a key person who helps make sure his or her individual needs are met. Sensitive observation and interaction between adults and children encourage each child to communicate in his or her own way. This communication is a crucial part of all learning and teaching in the EYFS. 
Parent Partnership

We value parents as children's first educators. We hope that parents and carers become fully involve in their child's learning. We carry out the following activities to support two way communication:

 

  • A carefully planned induction period
  • Time to speak to parents at handover times each day
  • Termly parent consultations
  • eyLog online Learning Journeys
  • Termly newsletters
  • Updates on the website 

Enabling Environment

We believe young children learn effectively when engaging with rich resources and a wide range of carefully planned learning opportunities.  Stimulating indoor and outdoor provision enables children to move, interact, talk and develop in a way that meets their individual learning needs. Quality adult interactions ensure children develop language and thinking whichs supports and extends their learning. 

Learning and Development

Our EYFS children are offered a broad curriculum which includes seven areas of learning and development. These are:

 

Prime Areas:

  • Communication and Language
  • Physical Development
  • Personal Social and Emotional Development 

 

Specific Areas:

  • Literacy
  • Mathematical Development
  • Understanding the World
  • Creative Development

The Characteristics of Efective Learning

 

Playing and Exploring: Interest...

Developing interests and fascinations, making sense of their world through play and 'having a go!'

 

Active Learning: Motivation...

Keep on trying, pursuing personal goals and being proud of successes

 

Creating and Thinking Critically: Thinking...

Having own ideas, making links, problem solving, reasoning and many more thinking skills

 

These are essential learning behaviours that help children develop a love of learning and enable them to become effective learners. These characteristics begin to develop at home with families from birth and they continue to develop though school years and adult life. Encouragement and support from adults enables our children to become resilient, capable learners.  Children who become confident to pursue their aspirations and eventually fulfill their dreams!
