The Curriculum - “British National Curriculum EYFS”
Welcome to my #Newnormal Day at BON
British Orchard Nursery follows the British Early Years Foundation Stages (EYFS) curriculum that focuses on 7-core areas of age-appropriate learning. Our well-developed and holistic curriculum combines learning with fun and incorporates languages such as Mandarin and a full fledged curriculum for English, Arabic, Islamic and French studies, along with various extra-curricular activities like football, music, zumba, yoga, etc.
Communication and Language
Communication and language underpins a child’s understanding, speaking, listening and attention skills. Communication and language is developed through rhythm and rhyme time, messy play, show and tell, group time, small world play and 1:1 Key Person time.
Mathematics
Mathematics develops the understanding of numbers, shape, space and measure. You will find Mathematics in our water play, cooking, puzzles, sequencing activities, following routine and mealtimes.
Social and Emotional Development
Personal, social and emotional development helps children to develop a positive sense and respect for themselves, and for others. It enables children to learn social skills and a positive attitude to learning.
Literacy
Literacy is the foundation of learning to read and write. We support Literacy development through story time, mark-making, letter of the week and book of the month.
