EYFS

Welcome to the Early Years Foundation Stage!

“In Early Years we have lots of fun; learning through play and getting messy is all part of the fun! Both in the classrooms and in our outdoor area we have a variety of areas of provision so that all the children can access different resources to develop their skills. Children’s interests drive curiosity and exploration, with the environment and provision being key for children to develop and progress their own ideas to help them become capable independent learners. We recognise that every child is an individual and unique and setting challenges and questioning provides children with wider learning opportunities. At Carlton we believe working together with families and the community is highly important to support children."

Our Provision

All staff use the Early Years framework to carefully plan and provide creative, cross curricular learning opportunities. Play based opportunities are provided through provision areas, these will follow our rolling programme closely alongside following the children's interests. All staff in Early Years are hands on with the children and love getting immersed in the children's learning, in addition the class teachers also follow the role of the key person.

"Enabling environments mobilise the energy, attention, curiosity and focus of children".

Outdoor Provision

We are extremely lucky to have an amazing outdoor area which we call our outdoor classroom. The opportunities that the outdoors provide us with are endless, no matter what the weather! There is something for every child outdoors whether that be the bike area, the construction area, the planting area or our Carlton's got Talent stage.

"The best classroom and the richest cupboard is roofed only by the sky".

Tapestry

We use Tapestry in EYFS to share children's learning and to communicate with parents. Please ensure you are checking Tapestry weekly for all communication and pictures from the weeks learning. We look forward to seeing learning shared from home too to share in class with the children!
