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.
Detailed look at the Foundation Stage learning environment
The Foundation Stage had an exciting visit yesterday from Policeman Sam. The children got to sit in the police car and try on various bits of a police officer's uniform.
Sam talked to them about a police officer's role and how they keep us safe. Thank you for spending the morning with us, the children loved meeting you and learning all about your job

The Foundation Stage have explored motions of movement during Science. They discovered ways toys moved through either pushing or pulling them.
They then made a puppet, using push or pull to make it move!
