4. Knowledge and understanding of the World. In this area of learning, children are developing the crucial knowledge, skills and understanding that help them to make sense of the world. This forms a foundation for later work in science, design and technology, history,geography and information and technology. 5. Creative and Physical development. Creativity is fundamental to successful learning. Being creative enables children to make connections between one area of learning and another and to so extend their understanding. Art ,music, dance, role play and imaginative play is used to enhance this area.Physical development in the foundation stage is about improving skills of coordination, control, manipulation and movement. It also helps children gain confidence in what they do and enables them to feel the positive benefits of being healthy and active.This part of our curriculum ensures that the children develop a sense of well-being. 6. Spiritual development. Little Scholars uses the Bible as its basis to impart Christian values to the young children to enable them grow up to love and serve God.
