***Curriculum Age:3-5

The Primary Years Programme

The Primary Years Programme is an international curriculum framework using an inquiry based approach
to teaching and learning. The children explore between 4 to 6 units of inquiry a year.

 

The curriculum addresses three inter-related questions : 

 

*  What do we want to learn ?
*  How best will we learn?
*  How will we know what we have learnt?

 

Each unit focusses on one main question that we want children to investigate.
It is based on the belief that children come to all learning situations with some prior knowledge,
which can be built on. This is the starting point for learning. 

 

What is the course about?

 

The Foundation Stage curriculum is divided into six areas of learning.
Careful planning ensures that all aspects of these areas are covered and that our curriculum is broad and balanced.

 

What will we cover?

*  Mathematical Development

Relates to using ideas about number,quantity, measurement, pattern, shape and space.

 

*  Communication, Language & Literacy

Covers communication with one another and developing skills in talking, listening, writing and reading.

 

*  Knowledge & Understanding of The World

Covers investigating and beginning to understand the things, places and people around them

 

*  Personal, Social & Emotional Development

In which the goals relate to developing confidence and independence while learning to concentrate and
to enjoy sharing as part of a group.

 

*  Creative Development

Covers finding ways to communicate by using colour, shape, sound, texture, movement and stories.

 

*  Physical Development

Relates to improving control and coordination of their bodies while learning to move and handle equipment.
