Our Intent
This curriculum has been put together using the Development Matters guidance, the learning programmes set out in the Statutory Framework and our own goals for this year's cohort.
We have thought about what we would like to see our children achieve when they get to the end of the year and how we can get them to that point.
We use in-the-moment planning, so staff are highly skilled in spotting teachable moments and extending each child's learning. We do not have a set way of getting each child from A to B, as each child will learn in a different way and at a different level. Instead, we tailor the learning as we go along and ultimately this will hopefully see more children attaining high levels of achievement. We do some adult-led activities; these are often activities that need more support when first introduced or activities that are less open-ended and more specific. We use the environment and the resources to provide opportunities for all children to be curious and explore. We set out provocations that spark interest and inspire learning.
We record as many interactions and learning opportunities as possible on our white board.
