In Class F we are all about learning through play. We spend a lot of our time exploring, experimenting and getting messy both inside and outside.

Our Learning

In Class F we learn a lot of our EYFS Curriculum through playful interactions. We use the 7 Early Learning Goals, provided in the Early Years Foundation Stage Statutory Framework, supported through the use of the Development Matters document to plan, observe and assess the 7 areas of learning. The 7 areas of learning are as follows:

Both the indoor and outdoor classrooms are set up to support and enhance learning and development throughout the year. We use a balance of child-initiated and adult-led learning to support progress in all the 7 areas of learning. During the Autumn Term we will be focusing on the prime areas of learning, particularly looking at our emotions and well being.

As learning in Class F is often through play and child-initiated experiences, our planning reflects the need for flexibility, take a look at our Long Term Overview to find out more about the skills and understanding we will gain throughout the year.

Once children have settled into school life, we will begin our daily phonics sessions, where we use the Letters and Sounds scheme of work. All children will have a library book to share at home. All children will have sound flashcards to practice new sounds at home when we begin phase 2 of the Letters and Sounds scheme. To further support knowledge of and a love of reading we welcome parents to share lots of stories and rhymes with children – we would love to know what you have been reading at home – you can write the stories you share in your reading record book.

PE in Class F

PE lessons will be taught every Thursday and Friday and children should come into school wearing their PE kits and will not need a change of clothes.

Topic

In Class F we use child interests to support and expand our learning, therefore our topics can change and develop unexpectedly to follow these key interests. We often focus on celebrations and seasons throughout the year, which will be taught through play in the environment and planned small group sessions.
