The EYFS underpins our approach through the early years principles; children need to learn through actively exploring, creating and critical thinking.
The four guiding principles that shapes the practice in Early Years is as below:
The areas of learning and development are broken into seven areas which are interrelated.
Our lesson plans are made based on 5E model. We engage students by making connection to real life task, and previously taught concepts. Students explore through hands on activities and investigations. We use lots of techniques to connect their exploration to the concepts. The concepts are elaborated by designing stations to practice their skills. Regular observations help teachers to access the students.
We recognise parents as first educators and work closely with them to support with home learning. Teachers regularly post updates and parents interact with teachers regularly .Our BVMi Little Magazine newsletter is posted every month which is a connect between students, parents and school.
