Here at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Primary School, our Early Years Foundation Stage consists of our Reception class, this is for children who are school age (four-five).
Our Approach to Learning in Early Years
The Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum (EYFS) is a play-based curriculum. This is something at OLMC we are very passionate about. We love to join in play with children, through play we scaffold development meaning we build upon children’s learning whilst they are engaged and enjoying play. Our approach is Objective Led. This approach means that we have learning objectives for each session, we play with the children and discreetly direct play to these objectives. This means that children learn in a fun, practical way which is meaningful and led by their individual interests.
There are seven areas of the EYFS Curriculum, see these below.
7 Areas of Learning
- Communication and Language
- Personal, Social and Emotional Development
- Physical development
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the world
- Expressive arts and design

Year 6 Visit to the Wheatley Youth Centre youth hub
Last week, some of our Year 6 children were invited to attend the opening of the Wheatley Youth Hub It was a wonderful opportunity for them to be part of an exciting new development in the local community.
A youth centre is a safe, welcoming space where young people can meet friends, take part in fun activities, learn new skills and access support and guidance. Youth centres help young people build confidence, develop positive relationships, explore their interests and feel connected to their community.
We are delighted that our Year 6 children had the opportunity to attend this special occasion and learn more about a valuable resource that can support young people as they grow and develop.
Thank you to everyone involved in making this opportunity possible! 🌟 ... See MoreSee Less
