Asquith EYFS Curriculum

Early Years Foundation Stage- The Asquith Way

'Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.'

Fred Rogers

At Asquith Primary we are very proud of our Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum, giving children the oppurtunity to embed our 5 Curriculum Golden Threads through an engaging, child led pedagogy. In EYFS we belive young children learn best through play and following their own interests. With this in mind, we decide on a theme for each half term but this will often change direction based on the children's ideas and fascinations. Children in our EYFS learn by exploring and investigating our areas of provision in which resources and activities are set to challenge and extend learning and development. In addition to our engaging indoor and outdoor provision, children take part in daily focused activities in which they are directly taught skills and knowledge in reading, writing and mathematics. Our EYFS curriculum sets high aspirations for all and is designed to celebrate our differences, respect diversity and create global citizens of the world. Our characteristics of effective learning are embeded across the EYFS curriculum, teaching children to be an Explorosaurus, Tryasauraus or Thinkasaurus promoting them to foster reilience and embed key skills.
