Learning through play, the EYFS way
We follow the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), with English and Arabic woven through every single day.
Seven areas of learning
The first three are the foundations everything else grows from. Teachers plan activities around each child’s interests and next steps.
Communication and language
Listening, talking, songs and stories in English and Arabic.
Physical development
Running, climbing, threading, cutting and holding a pencil.
Personal, social and emotional
Friendships, sharing, feelings and growing independence.
Literacy
A love of books, phonics and early mark-making.
Mathematics
Counting, shapes, patterns and measuring through play.
Understanding the world
Nature, people, places and celebrations like UAE National Day.
Expressive arts and design
Painting, music, dance, puppets and pretend play.
More than the basics
Arabic every day
Letters, words, songs and stories with our Arabic teachers.
Fortnightly themes
From farm animals to space, a new theme every two weeks keeps learning fresh.
Shows and celebrations
Puppet shows, theatre, music, birthdays and National Day celebrations.
Trips and visitors
Field trips and special visitors bring topics to life.
Ready for big school
By the time children leave our Butterflies class, they can recognise letters and sounds, count and compare, take turns, and look after their own things. We share progress with parents through the year so everyone knows what comes next.
