Children's Pages - Foundation Stage Unit

Indoor Activities

By addressing the Foundation Stage Curriculum to plan their learning experiences we aim to provide the children with opportunities to develop:-

  • Socially
  • Emotionally
  • Physically
  • Intellectually
  • Personal, social and emotional development (the child's ability to work, play and co-operate with others)
  • Communication, language and literacy (listening, speaking, early reading and early writing skills)
  • Mathematical development (the understanding of number, calculating, shape, measures and mathematical language)
  • Knowledge and understanding of the world (investigations, designing and making, Information Technology, cultures and beliefs)
  • Physical development (movement, sense of space, health and bodily awareness, the use of tools and equipment)
  • Creative development ( exploring media and materials, music, using the imagination, responding to experiences and communicating ideas)

Curriculum Activities

We aim to create an environment where the children are safe, happy, secure and able to develop their independence both indoors and outdoors.

The curriculum is planned to incorporate purposeful activities where children are both stimulated, allowed freedom to initiate activities themselves and engage in those planned by adults.

The classroom is organised into areas of learning created to enhance the planned learning and to provide continuity for the children's thoughts and actions -e.g. the sand tray will allow the children to return to a familiar area where they can explore and investigate wet and dry sand, re-enact story scenarios, enjoy pattern making and share experiences.

The unit is managed by Mrs Mackenzie and Mrs Sally Sullivan.

The children are encouraged to take home activities which they can share with their parents. If you have any worries or problems, please discuss them with Mrs Sullivan, Mrs Mackenzie or Mrs Halley. There will be opportunity to discuss your child's work with Mrs Sullivan during each term.
