Bathampton Primary School
Together on a Learning Adventure
EYFS
Welcome to Bathampton Reception. We have a very hands on, play-based approach to learning in Reception. We utilise our fantastic bespoke classroom and vast grounds to support learning. Our aim is for every child to achieve their best through fun, imaginative, hands-on activities that have meaning to 4 and 5 year olds. Play is the kind of learning where not only the children don’t realise they are learning, but many adults don’t realise either!
Early Years Curriculum
The statutory Foundation Stage Curriculum (also known as the EYFS) has seven key areas of learning. These are broken into 3 prime areas and 4 specific areas, as follows:
PRIME AREAS
Communication and Language
Physical Development
Personal, Social and Emotional Development
SPECIFIC AREAS
Literacy
Mathematics
Understanding the World
Expressive Arts and Design
During a child’s first half term at school, the prime areas are the key focus of our learning, as children settle into new routines. These prime areas then continue to underpin our work throughout the Reception year, ensuring we have happy children that will thrive and succeed as they continue in their learning journey.
