Our team are committed to ensure that your child reaches their full potential during their time at Copnor. Teachers are always available at the start and end of the day. Alternatively, you can make an appointment to see your child's teacher or Year Leader through the school office, or send us an email. |

Reception follow the DfE statutory framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage, which from September 2012 became mandatory for all schools. The framework is made up of three main areas: Communication and Language, Physical Development, Personal, Social and Emotional Development |
||||
The four specific areas are: |
||||
The Prime Areas of Learning |
||||

||||

||||

The seven areas provide a framework, but this does not mean that all of young children’s learning is divided up into areas. One experience may provide a child with opportunities to develop a number of competences, skills and concepts across several areas. For example, children building with blocks may cooperate in carrying the heavy and large blocks, negotiate the best place to put them, compare the weight and dimensions of different blocks and act out an imaginary scene. Therefore, they may be developing language, Mathematics, physical, personal and social competences through this one activity. Children in the EYFS learn by playing and exploring, being active, and through creative and critical thinking which takes place both indoors and outside. |
