At Rossall Nursery School, the curriculum is carefully planned to work towards the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum and the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme.
Activities and experiences for the two and four year olds are planned within the areas of learning as specified in the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. The six areas of learning are:
- Communication, Language and Literacy.
- Problem Solving, Reasoning and Numeracy.
- Knowledge and Understanding of the World.
- Creative Development.
- Personal, Social and Emotional Development.
- Physical Development
Meeting individual needs of all children lies at the heart of the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. We deliver personalised learning, development and care, to help all children to get the best possible start in life.
All children are encouraged to participate in a wide range of activities to extend and build upon their existing skills, interests and knowledge through themes that are meaningful and interesting to the children. It is also important that the children have fun, enjoy coming to nursery and gain a thirst for learning.
In addition, the Early Years Foundation Curriculum is planned in conjunction with the Primary Years Programme for the three and four year olds. It focuses on the total growth of the developing child, encompassing social, physical, emotional and cultural needs in addition to academic development. This is taught through six transdisciplinary themes which provide a relevant, engaging, challenging and significant educational framework for all children. The themes are:
- Who we are
- Where we are in place and time
- How we express ourselves
- How the world works
- How we organise ourselves
- Sharing the planet
