Education in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
The Reception Year forms the final year of the ‘Foundation Stage’ most of which takes place in a pre-school setting.
In the Foundation Stage the curriculum is organised into seven areas of learning. There are three prime areas which are:
- personal, social and emotional development
- physical development
- communication and language
There are four specific areas which are:
- literacy
- mathematics
- understanding the world
- expressive arts and designs areas
These seven areas of learning provide the framework for planning the Early Years curriculum. They are developed through a lot of practical and play activities. During the Reception Year your child will work towards the early learning goals which outline expectations for most children to reach by the end of the Foundation Stage.
