In Reception the children follow the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum (2013). In Year 1 and Year 2 the children follow the new National Curriculum (2014), which we use at Little Gonerby as the basis for our broad, balanced and project-based curriculum.
The aims of the new National Curriculum for science are to ensure that all pupils:
The aims of the new National Curriculum for computing are to ensure that all pupils:
Reception
The children explore a variety of technology including: computer programs, apps for tablets, tablets for recording, beebots, cameras, CD players and sound recorders. Additionally, they will access parts of the computing curriculum through their everyday activities and explorations.
Key Stage One
The children will be know what algorithms are, program digital devices and create and debug simple programs. They will also be able to use technology to create, organise, store, manipulate and restore digital content. The children will be able to recognise common use of information technology beyond school and will be taught to use technology respectfully and safely.
Mathematics is an important part of everyday life and we aim to provide a fun and relevant mathematics curriculum to enthuse our children to want to learn more.
The new National Curriculum aims to ensure all children become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, can reason mathematically and apply their knowledge to solve problems.
The majority of the children's mathematics lessons are taught through problem solving sessions related to their current projects. This enables children to apply their knowledge in real life situations.
In addition to problem solving activities the children are taught discrete mathematical skills and are enthused about mathematics through daily marvellous maths session. The marvellous maths sessions encourage the children to become fluent in a variety of mathematical concepts by developing their understanding and ability to accurately and rapidly recall and apply their knowledge in an exciting and fun way.
The teachers develop the children's ability to reason mathematically by identifying patterns and using the children's understanding of relationships to develop an argument using mathematical language.
In the foundation stage the children learn through a variety of activities. These include those lead by adults, provided by adults but choosen to be completed by the children and through the children's own choices in the classroom environment.
The foundation stage curriculum has two elements:
Number
Space, Shape and Measure
