Whilst we are currently delivering the National Curriculum prior to the introduction of the Foundation Phase (Year 1 – 2009 and Year 2 2010) we are using the latest approaches to deliver the different subject areas.
We have fun, exciting, stimulating and safe indoor and outdoor environments. We aim to promote natural curiosity and exploration.
We are looking forward to the introduction of the Foundation Phase which encompasses the developmental needs of children. At the centre lies the holistic development of children and their skills across the curriculum, building on their previous learning experiences, knowledge and skills. The Foundation Phase curriculum promotes equality of opportunity and values and celebrates diversity. Positive partnerships with home are fostered and an appreciation of parents/carers as the children’s first educators is acknowledged.
Children learn through first-hand experiential activities with the serious business of ‘play’ providing the vehicle. Through their play, children practise and consolidate their learning, play with ideas, experiment, take risks, solve problems, and make decisions individually, in small and in large groups. First-hand experiences allow children to develop an understanding of themselves and the world in which they live. The development of children’s self-image and feelings of self-worth and self-esteem are at the core of this phase.
