Reception - Curriculum

Intention
At Banks Lane Infant and Nursery School, we believe that the early foundations of education are imperative to all that follows in the lives of children in today’s world. Our EYFS Curriculum provides a solid base for children to develop as lifelong readers, change makers, risk takers, creators, be inquisitive, healthy and happy. Our intention is for all children to reach their full potential through strong pedagogy, relationships and environments and recognising the importance of parental partnerships between home and school. We celebrate and welcome differences amongst ourselves, our community and the world, highlighted through our four Learning Values. Children with particular needs, including SEND, are supported appropriately enabling them to succeed.
​
Experiences & Opportunities (Cultural Capital)
  • Outdoor Learning/ Forest School Style Experience
  • BLINS Experience (in school and at home challenges)
  • The Den and the Quad; access to and activities/ provision
  • Weekly Spanish lesson
  • Visitors to School; author visits, librarian, science assembly, school nurse, theatre groups etc.
  • Reading Fortnight
  • World Book Day
  • School Library
  • Community Links/ Wider Experiences; Grow Your Own (Morrisons), Pentagon Play (observing the builders activity), Summer Library Challenge, activities linked to the Olympics/ Commonwealth Games ‘Stay for a Story’
  • Out of School Visits/ Trips
  • World and National Day Celebrations (e.g. Odd Sock Day, Christmas Jumper Day)
  • Christmas Production

Characteristics of effective learning in EYFS are...

Playing and Exploring
Children investigate and experience things and 'have a go'.

Active Learning
 Children concentrate and keep on trying if they encounter difficulties and enjoy achievements.

Creating and Thinking Critically 
​Children have and develop their own ideas, make links between ideas and develop strategies for doing things. 

​Our Topics and Themes

We are a ‘Quality Texts’ school where a wonderful book is selected to be at the heart of our activities and topics.
We explore the themes through the use of the quality text. We use approaches such as DEAL (Drama Engagement Active Learning) and  Tales Toolkit to engage and enthuse the children.

​Activities, based upon our topic and theme, will be planned to address these 7 areas of learning in the EYFS Framework.
  • Personal, Social and Emotional Development
  • Physical Development
  • Communication and Language
  • Literacy
  • Mathematics
  • Understanding the World
  • Expressive Arts and Design​​
