Skills for school
A video for families about how you can best support your child to be ready for school.
Ready to Learn
During your child’s first year at school they will continue to work within the Early Years Foundation Stage and build upon the key knowledge and skills that they have already acquired both at home and during their time at pre-school.
The Early Years Foundation Stage is divided into 7 areas of learning and development;
- Communications and language
- Physical development
- Personal social and emotional development
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the world
- Expressive arts and design
The children explore these areas in many ways, learning through play. There is whole class teaching, small group work, independent play, and playing with carefully selected activities. The children have opportunities to play indoors and outdoors.
Reading with your child
Is one of the most important things you can do to help them to be ready for school. Mrs Giori shows you how!
