Sunflower Class Curriculum Coverage
Early Years Foundation Stage
At Westwood with Iford we follow the statutory requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. Our curriculum planning focuses on the Early Learning Goals and on developing children’s skills and experiences.
We teach children by ensuring challenging, playful opportunities across the ‘Prime’ and ‘Specific’ areas of learning and development. Prime areas are fundamental; they work together to support development in all other areas. These are:
· Personal, Social and Emotional Development
· Communication and Language
· Physical Development
Specific areas include essential skills and knowledge. They grow out of the prime areas and provide important contexts for learning. These are:
· Literacy
· Mathematics
· Understanding the World
· Expressive Arts and Design
