EARLY YEARS FOUNDATION STAGE CURRICULUM
Curriculum Intent:
The intent of the Crab Lane EYFS curriculum:
To engage all children and ignite a passion for learning by creating a positive attitude to challenge
To look upon children as individuals; to listen and follow their interests
To teach children to understand themselves; be able to celebrate their strengths and form strong relationships with others
To embrace their home city of Manchester; the local community and its diversity
To cohesively include parents, as partners, throughout the learning journey
The EYFS framework includes seven areas of learning and development that are equally important and inter-connected. However, three areas known as the prime areas are seen as particularly important for igniting curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, and for building children’s capacity to learn, form relationships and thrive.
The prime areas are:
Communication and language
Physical development
Personal, social and emotional development
The prime areas are strengthened and applied through four specific areas:
Literacy
Mathematics
Understanding the world
Expressive arts and design
Curriculum planning, observation and assessment
We have a curriculum that is child-centred and that is based upon ‘WOW’ experiences and topics from enquiry-based questions. Our curriculum model is based around:
Talking and electronic floor books; including children’s interest and gaps in cohorts’ knowledge
