Curriculum focus - Preschool

I’m feeding my cow.

The children learn inside and outside the classroom, developing their personal and emotional, physical and speaking and listening skills.

In Preschool we value every child and respect them as individuals. The children are supported to learn through their play following the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework.

We watch Numberblocks to develop a sense of number and the children have the opportunity to explore number using a variety of resources.

The children have access to their own Forest school site where they learn how to care for living things, connect with the natural environment and take risks in a totally child led environment.

The children enjoy mark making whether that is using chalks, large brushes or drawing and writing with pencils.

The National Curriculum for music aims states that, “all pupils have the opportunity to listen to, review and evaluate music across a range of historical periods, genres, styles and traditions including the works of great composers and musicians.” Therefore, JD is introducing Composition of the Week where classes spend time listening to and reflecting on different music. There will be a different piece of music each week beginning with the above.
