EYFS - Rabbit Class
Our Reception class is called Rabbit class, there are a maximum of 30 children aged between 4-5. We offer a fantastic induction to help them when starting school which begins in the summer term once they have accepted their place, and continues into the autumn to ensure they start school in the best possible way.
We follow the Foundation Stage curriculum, celebrating the uniqueness of every child.
The curriculum covers three prime areas:
- Personal Social Emotional Development
- Physical Development
- Communication and Language
and four specific areas:
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the World
- Expressive Arts and Design
We hold a phonics introduction session early in the autumn term.
Learning in our Reception year at school is based upon the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum, it is the final year of the curriculum children have followed throughout their nursery years. At the end of the year children are assesed to be working towards the end of year goals or having met the early learning goals. It is aimed that most will have met the early learning goals by this time.
There are 7 areas of development:
3 of these are known as Prime Areas - Communication and Language, Personal, Social and Emotional and Physical Development
Whilst 4 are known as Specific Areas - Literacy, Mathematics, Understaning the World and Expressive Arts and Design
We have developed a Progression of learning for each area throughout the Reception year
