Nurturing Children's Natural Curiosity

Curriculum Overviews

We have tailored our EYFS curriculum to the needs of our children. Our curriculum is book led and underpins children's learning and development. 

 

We have carefully chosen books linked to ‘The Power of Reading’ and 'Launchpad for Literacy' to support our EYFS curriculum. This enables children to make links and connections between knowledge and skills across all areas of learning and development.

 

Our book led curriculum helps us to:

  • Stimulate children’s curiosity and spark imagination 
  • Inspire children to ask questions and learn new knowledge, skills and vocabulary
  • Develop children’s background knowledge and cultural capital
  • Enhance and develop children’s vocabulary
  • Support children to foster deeper and more transferable learning
  • Engage and deepen children’s understanding across all areas of the curriculum
  • Encourage discussion of big ideas and themes
  • Provide models for writing
  • Make early reading a focus point
  • Help all children to fall in love with books and reading
