FS2

At St Breock School, the implementation of our EYFS curriculum ensures that our children can develop as independent, confident and successful learners. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Framework that sets the standards for learning, development and care for children from birth to 5.

Learning, Love and Laughter is our school motto and is at the core of our classroom practice; our children have high aspirations and understand the value of making positive contributions to the world around them. Health and well being is of utmost importance and we seek to develop this so children are able to reach their full potential. Our goal is to ensure that all children are happy and engaged.

Following the EYFS Curriculum, we provide an environment that allows each child to display high levels of concentration, creativity, energy and persistence. The rationale behind this is that high levels of well-being and involvement foster positive development for children and facilitate deeper learning. 

We believe that children should be able to lead their learning by initiating activities that are significant to them, derived from their own interests and ideas. Our curriculum is centred around our children, our EYFS team plan and enhance our classroom provision based on their knowledge of the children. In addition to this, and in order to broaden the experiences afforded to our children, our EYFS curriculum is enhanced each half term with a themed focus. These themed activities are integrated into our daily classroom practice, with the aim of inspiring our children and enriching their daily learning.

Our EYFS curriculum enables our children to continually demonstrate their ability to:

• Play and explore
• Learn actively 
• Create and think critically

It is our aim that each of our children will be inspired and motivated to actively engage with our EYFS curriculum during their time at St Breock School; experiencing enjoyment and transitioning into Key Stage One with the confidence and skills to flourish as independent and resilient learners.

Below you will find our current term’s overview which we follow, alongside the children’s own interests.
