Planning in the EYFS is based around the children’s interests. We really value the importance of children enjoying their learning.

This is the long term and continuous provision plan which links to the Stages of Development and Early Learning Goals which form the broad framework of learning objectives for the EYFS. This includes a range of activities and experiences which offer a balance of learning across the seven areas of learning.

The seven areas of learning and development:

Prime:

1) Personal Social and Emotional Development

2) Physical Development

3) Communication and Language

Specific:

1) Literacy

2) Mathematics

3) Understanding of World

4) Expressive Art and Design

At Manor Green Primary School we believe these 7 areas are equally important and depend on each other to support a rounded approach to child development. We aim to deliver all of these areas through planned purposeful play, with a balance of adult and child initiated activities. We set realistic yet challenging expectations to meet the needs of our children. We achieve this by planning to meet the needs of all ability groups, boys and girls, children from all social and cultural backgrounds, children of different ethnic groups and those from diverse linguistic backgrounds.
