15. Early Years Curriculum
This Curriculum is divided into 7 Areas of Learning. Prime areas are “Personal and Social”, “Physical” and “Communication and Language”.
Much of the learning is achieved through self initiated learning and exploratory play.
A careful record is kept of children’s progress across these 7 areas. All children are different and learn and develop in different ways and at different rates.

23. Assessment within the Foundation Stage
Every child has their own learning journey. This helps teachers to track your child’s progress throughout the Early Years and informs them when completing their assessment at the end of the Reception year. This is called the Foundation Stage Profile.
At Bourne we have both books in the classroom and electronic learning journeys that you will all have access to online with protected passwords. You will be able to track your child’s progress and enjoy many photos of their experiences in school.

25. SCHOOL COUNCIL
The school council is made up of two children from each class, who are elected by their peers. It is their job to put forward the views of their class.
They meet every half term with Mrs Slater to discuss school issues and help make decisions about fundraising and purchasing equipment.
Last year, the school council were responsible for choosing the new playground markings and they helped to interview Mrs Edwards. They also contributed to our marking and feedback scheme and chose which books to purchase for class libraries.
