3. Areas of Learning

4. How Children Learn

5. Expectations
At the end of the year we report back to you on if your child has reached a ‘Good Level of Development’
In each area of learning there is an Early Learning Goal.

6. An example: Writing Early Learning Goal
Children use their phonic knowledge to write words in ways which match their spoken sounds. They also write some irregular common words. They write simple sentences which can be read by themselves and others. Some words are spelt correctly and others are phonetically plausible

7. Learning
Children learn best through practical and active learning, both inside and outside
Your children’s interests and needs will feed directly into our planning
We have themes/topics
We will challenge your children to make next steps in their progress
