Nursery
At Yew Tree Community school, we have children who attend full time, morning or afternoon nursery. As a school, we use the EYFS framework to develop a curriculum that aims to give all learners, particularly the most disadvantaged, the knowledge and cultural capital they need to succeed in life. We aim to support the learning of all children at every level through carefully planned activities and provision both indoors and outdoors, providing quality interactions between adults and children and extending children’s learning through challenge and questioning.
The EYFS framework includes 7 areas of learning and development that are equally important and inter-connected. However, 3 areas known as the prime areas are seen as particularly important for igniting curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, and for building children’s capacity to learn, form relationships and thrive.
The prime areas are:
- Communication and language
- Physical development
- Personal, social and emotional development
The prime areas are strengthened and applied through 4 specific areas:
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the world
- Expressive arts and design
Please see the link below for the EYFS framework.
Knowledge mats
Each half term, parents are sent home a knowledge mat including a summary of what their children will be learning each half term. On this knowledge mat, we share QR codes for parents to scan and access the texts that their child will be learning in class. This creates a connection between school and parents so that they know what their child is learning. This is also shared with parents on tapestry.
