The Seven Areas of Learning
There are seven areas of Learning and Development within EYFS. Whilst all are important and inter-connected, the framework splits learning into three Prime Areas and four Specific Areas.
The Prime Areas are fundamental to igniting a child’s curiosity and building their capacity to learn. These are: Communication and Language; Physical Development; and Personal, Social and Emotional Development.
The Specific Areas strengthen and apply the Prime Areas. These are: Literacy; Mathematics; Understanding the World; and Expressive Art and Design.
Creating opportunities for children to develop their confidence and skills in expressing themselves and learning to speak and listen in a range of situations.
Encouraging young children to be active and interactive; developing their coordination, control and movement; helping young children understand the importance of physical activity and making healthy eating choices.
