As in most primary schools a proportion of the timetable includes cross curricular themes that link one or more subjects. For this reason, the timetable is not rigidly compartmentalised since projects may cover several areas.<\/p>\r\n

They are making sense of the world and dealing with the challenges and experiences that life brings them.<\/p>\r\n

The Foundation Stage has seven learning areas:<\/p>\r\n
