FS Curriculum Overview
Welcome to our Foundation Stage curriculum page. We believe that children have a right to expect a curriculum which is fun, motivating, interesting and most importantly purposeful.
We think Acre Heads Primary brings something special to every child that walks through our doors – we offer an exciting curriculum experience to all our children. Our school ethos is built on our core values: BELIEF, DETERMINATION, RESILIENCE and TEAMWORK and enables children to achieve extraordinary things.
On this page, you will find further information about our Foundation Stage curriculum, useful videos, links and resources for starting Foundation Stage with insights into the activities and learning environments within the year group.
What do we do in the Foundation Stage?
Please find below your child’s Foundation Stage Curriculum Overview which gives an outline of the topics your child will cover this year.
Please find below your child’s termly Knowledge Organisers which contains a summary of the knowledge and key facts Foundation Stage children will be learning during the year. Children will bring a copy of the organiser home at the start of each term and are encouraged to refer to these organisers throughout their learning. Please help your child investigate and retain their knowledge as they work through their theme.

The Foundation Stage had lots of fun learning the difference between rolling and throwing a ball. They were challenged to test their accuracy by rolling the ball so it stopped on the target! ⭐️ 🥎 🏀

PE in the ☀️ is the best! 💛
The Foundation stage are learning how to carry an object by balancing it on their palms or on a bat.
Their challenge was to carry it at differing heights and speeds!
Well done!
