AN INTRODUCTION TO OUR EYFS CURRICULUM

At The British School Yangon, Myanmar, our preschool children follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum. Our early years programme will prepare your child for primary school, developing the formative knowledge and skills they need to make fantastic personal and academic progress.

In our international school learning environment, your child will work towards the EYFS seven areas of learning.   

The seven areas:
  • Communication and language.
  • Physical development.
  • Personal, social, and emotional development.
  • Literacy.
  • Mathematics.
  • Understanding the world.
  • Expressive arts and design.

HOW YOUR CHILD WILL LEARN

Rooted in the seven EYFS principles, our holistic early years programme supports each child’s cognitive, physical, and emotional growth.

Communication and language
Our children spend lots of time speaking and listening, as well as learning songs, reciting rhymes, and telling stories. This will ensure your child embarks on their primary school adventure with the confidence to express their thoughts and feelings.

Literacy
Your child will use phonic techniques to develop their understanding of words, before learning to read simple sentences. Using their knowledge of sounds, they'll also start to write.

We’ll ensure your child enjoys an active, healthy lifestyle. Our physical development programme will help them build their control, mobility, spatial awareness, and gross motor skills.

Personal, social, and emotional development
As part of their personal and social growth, your child will learn to work, play, co-operate, and thrive in a group beyond their family. This will build their confidence, help them manage feelings and behaviour, and develop relationships.

Mathematics
Our early years curriculum will introduce your child to the fundamentals of maths and numeracy. From practical counting activities to using simple mathematical language, we’ll encourage them to connect maths learning to real-world experiences.
