Explorers

Welcome to Explorers.

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) includes our Nursery and Reception class.  These classes follow the EYFS curriculum which consists of seven areas of learning.

Prime Areas:

     Communication and Language

 Personal, Social and Emotional Development

Physical Development 

Specific Areas:

Literacy

Mathematics

Understanding the World

Expressive Arts and Design

Alongside the areas of learning, the EYFS also consists of characteristics of effective learning.  These are learning skills to help children in becoming lifelong learners, developing skills such as problem solving, perseverance and taking risks.

At Sixpenny Handley First School and Nursery we carefully plan learning opportunities and experiences to the children's individual interests to meet their next steps. In Nursery your child will be assigned a key person who will be responsible for meeting your child's needs, planning their next steps and liaising with you about their development.
