Early Years Curriculum
In the Early Years at Barningham CEVC Primary School, children learn within a safe and secure learning environment that equips them for the educational journey ahead. We ensure children are given a range of highly-engaging and motivating play-based learning experiences, enhanced through adult led activities, which enable them to become confident and independent learners. We offer a curriculum that is based on real life experiences, involves the child and most importantly is planned through careful assessment of their needs and interests.
In the Early Years we cover the seven areas of development.
| Areas of Learning & Development | Aspect |
| PRIME AREAS | |
| Personal, Social and Emotional Development | Building Relationships Managing Self Self-Regulation |
| Communication and Language Development | Listening, Attention and understanding Speaking |
| Physical Development | Gross Motor Skills Fine Motor Skills |
| SPECIFIC AREAS | |
| Literacy | Comprehension Word Reading Writing |
| Mathematics | Numbers Numerical Patterns |
| Understanding The World | People, Culture and Communities The Natural World Past and Present |
| Expressive Arts & Design | Creating with Materials Being Imaginative and Expressive |
The prime areas begin to develop quickly in response to relationships and experiences, and run through and support learning in all other areas.
The prime areas continue to be fundamental throughout the EYFS. The specific areas include essential skills and knowledge. They grow out of the prime areas and provide important contexts for learning.
