What the KHDA says: “Children make outstanding progress, particularly in speaking, listening and early reading skills. Reading is developing well as a result of the opportunities children have to discover print and books. Children’s outstanding speaking and listening skills support their ability to develop critical thinking and collaboration. Consequently, in FS1, children can narrate and present simple stories, discussing characters and plot. Children and in FS2 are developing writing using their phonics skills. The higher attaining children in FS2 can write sentences to form a story or letter.”
“Open-ended, active learning opportunities, both indoors and outdoors, enable children to make outstanding progress in mathematical development. In FS1, almost all children demonstrate better than expected progress in number, shape and space related to curriculum standards for their age. They are aware that numbers can increase or decrease depending on the type of calculations used. The more able children can solve simple problems. Children practise using money in role play and can create, record and describe patterns, linking their learning to real life experience.”
“Children observe, explore and investigate their environment and make predictions about why things happen and how things work. They understand that living things grow and know what plants need to thrive. In personalised learning activities, children are developing an understanding of the world around them including properties of materials and living things. Science is developed within the integrated free flow curriculum, and as a result children’s application of observation and enquiry have a positive impact on all areas of their learning.”
