Curriculum

The EYFS is made up of six areas of learning and development. All areas of learning and development are connected to one another and are equally important. All areas of learning and development are underpinned by the principles of the EYFS.

The areas of Learning and Development are:

Personal, Social and Emotional Development

This is made up of the following aspects:

Dispositions and Attitudes: This is about how children become interested, excited and motivated about their learning.

Self-confidence and Self-esteem: This is about children having a sense of their own value and understanding the need for sensitivity to significant events in their own and other people's lives.

Making Relationships: This is about the importance of children forming good relationships with others and working alongside others companionably.

Behaviour and Self-control: This is about how children develop a growing understanding of what is right and wrong and why, together with learning about the impact of their words and actions on themselves and others.

Self-care: This is about how children gain a sense of self-respect and concern for their own personal hygiene and care and how they develop independence.

Sense of Community: This is about how children understand and respect their own needs, views, cultures and beliefs and those of other people.
