Early Years Foundation Stage Crinnis and Polmear

We have two Reception classes at Charlestown Primary School, Polmear Class and Crinnis Class.  

Children attend from a wide range of childcare providers, all of which we are building links with and visit in the summer term prior to the new academic year.   

At Charlestown Primary School we believe in giving children the best possible start to their education.  It is our intent that children who enter our EYFS classes develop physically, cognitively, verbally and emotionally. 

We recognise the importance of children learning through play.  Adults play alongside children supporting language and  communication development and introducing new vocabulary.

We have created 30 activities that we would like all children in EYFS at Charlestown to take part in before the end of the year. 

We have inviting learning environments both inside and outside that support children to learn through play. The children can explore, investigate and communicate together.

Outdoor learning plays a big part in EYFS.  Our environments are varied including a climbing frame, a sand pit, a nature area and mud kitchen.  Weekly woodland session are planned and run in the school woodland area.  The activities support a range of skills, social interactions and cooperation. 

Our School Day  

We deliver our curriculum through a balance of child-initiated play, whole class teaching and small group adult led work. 

Daily phonics is taught through the Read Write Inc program.

To promote healthy living a daily healthy snack is provided.
