Our main goal in our EYFS is to ensure our children are ignited with a passion for learning, resilience to bounce back from challenges, independence, along with pride in expressing both their individuality and creativity.
Our learning environment is full of hidden agendas. Play materials set up aim to:
- capture and extend both children’s interests and imaginations
- create talking points
- inspire open-ended thinking
- develop links in understanding
- challenge all the muscles needed for writing, including those in the core, shoulders and fine motor.
- stir up curiosity
Most importantly we aim to have lots of FUN learning together!
