                                    2021 - 2022

At Griffe Field Primary School we offer a curriculum rich in wonder and memorable experiences. We work
hard to provide a stimulating environment that provides exciting opportunities, promotes challenge,
exploration, adventure and a real love of learning.
It is our intent that all children develop physically, verbally, cognitively and emotionally in an environment
which values all cultures, communities and people. We aim for our children to be confident and independent,
to believe in themselves and interact positively with others.

                                                                                                                 1

CHARACTERISTICS   Playing and exploring:
  OF EFFECTIVE    Children investigate and experience things, and ‘have a go’. Children who actively participate in their own play develop a larger store of
   LEARNING       information and experiences to draw on which positively supports their learning

                  Active learning:
                  Children concentrate and keep on trying if they encounter difficulties. They are proud of their own achievements. For children to develop
                  into self-regulating, lifelong learners they are required to take ownership, accept challenges and learn persistence.

                  Creating and thinking critically:
                  Children develop their own ideas and make links between these ideas. They think flexibly and rationally, drawing on previous experiences
                  which help them to solve problems and reach conclusions.
    OVER          Unique Child
  ARCHING         Every child is unique and has the potential to be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured.

 PRINCIPLES       Positive Relationships
                  Children flourish with warm, strong & positive partnerships between all staff and parents/carers. This promotes independence across the
                  EYFS curriculum. Children and practitioners are NOT alone – embrace each community.

                  Enabling environments
                  Children learn and develop well in safe and secure environments where routines are established and where adults respond to their
                  individual needs and passions and help them to build upon their learning over time.

                  Learning and Development: Children develop and learn at different rates (not in different ways as it stated 2017). We must be aware of
                  children who need greater support than others.

                  PLAY
                  At Griffe Field Primary School We understand that play is an integral part of learning and this is at the heart of our early years curriculum.
                  We believe that the correct mix of adult directed and uninterrupted child initiated play ensures the best outcomes for pupils. Warm and
                  positive relationships between staff and children, consistent routines and strong relationships with parents are key.

                  We recognise the crucial role that early year’s education has to play in providing firm foundations upon which the rest of a child’s
                  education is successfully based.

                                                                                                                                                               3

  PHYSICAL  Physical activity is vital in children’s all-round development, enabling them to pursue happy, healthy and active lives. Gross and fine motor experiences
            develop incrementally throughout early childhood, starting with sensory explorations and the development of a child’s strength, co-ordination and
DEVELOPMENT
                             positional awareness through tummy time, crawling and play movement with both objects and adults. By creating games and providing opportunities
                             for play both indoors and outdoors, adults can support children to develop their core strength, stability, balance, spatial awareness, co-ordination and
                             agility. Gross motor skills provide the foundation for developing healthy bodies and social and emotional well-being. Fine motor control and precision
                             helps with hand-eye co-ordination, which is later linked to early literacy. Repeated and varied opportunities to explore and play with small world
                             activities, puzzles, arts and crafts and the practice of using small tools, with feedback and support from adults, allow children to develop proficiency,
                             control and confidence.

   LITERACY                It is crucial for children to develop a life-long love of reading. Reading consists of two dimensions: language comprehension and word reading. Language comprehension (necessary for both
                           reading and writing) starts from birth. It only develops when adults talk with children about the world around them and the books (stories and non-fiction) they read with them, and enjoy
                             rhymes, poems and songs together. Skilled word reading, taught later, involves both the speedy working out of the pronunciation of unfamiliar printed words (decoding) and the speedy
                                 recognition of familiar printed words. Writing involves transcription (spelling and handwriting) and composition (articulating ideas and structuring them in speech, before writing)

MATHEMATICS    Developing a strong grounding in number is essential so that all children develop the necessary building blocks to excel mathematically. Children should
              be able to count confidently, develop a deep understanding of the numbers to 10, the relationships between them and the patterns within those numbers.
                By providing frequent and varied opportunities to build and apply this understanding - such as using manipulatives, including small pebbles and tens
                  frames for organising counting - children will develop a secure base of knowledge and vocabulary from which mastery of mathematics is built. In
                    addition, it is important that the curriculum includes rich opportunities for children to develop their spatial reasoning skills across all areas of
              mathematics including shape, space and measures. It is important that children develop positive attitudes and interests in mathematics, look for patterns
                         and relationships, spot connections, ‘have a go’, talk to adults and peers about what they notice and not be afraid to make mistakes.
