Foundation Stage 2 'Bear Cubs' We aim to give children a range of learning experiences including learning key phonics knowledge, developing mathematical understanding as well as many opportunities to learn key skills through play. Our aim is for children to be confident, independent and happy children who will be well equipped to achieve 'Early Learning Goals' and be ready for their next stage of education - KS1. During every learning opportunity our goal is to provide children with engaging and powerful activities giving real meaning and depth to their learning. Stories drive our curriculum - a range of stories are chosen for their themes and language and we teach them in detail so children can develop a strong engagement with them through play activities.
