Handwriting

At Tiptoe School we learn cursive handwriting which means we learn to do lead ins and lead outs on all our lower case letters. We learn to write this way because it will help us to join our letters when we are ready to do so.

Phonics

In phonic lessons we teach children the sound made by each letter which helps them to read and write words. We follow a phonics scheme called Monster Phonics.

The Early Learning Goals

The Early Learning Goals (ELGs) are the goals or targets children are expected to achieve at the end of their Reception year. They will be working towards these goals throughout the Early Years Foundation Stage. There are 17 ELGs across all the areas of learning.

The EYFS Profile is broken down into seven specific areas of learning:

Communication and language
Physical development
Personal, social and emotional development (PSE)
Literacy
Mathematics
Understanding the world
Expressive arts and design

Within each of these areas, there are specific Early Learning Goals – for example, in the case of Communication and language, these are Listening, attention and understanding, and Speaking.

The children will have opportunities to explore the world around them and learn though a play based curriculum.
