This may seem like a daunting title, but in reality, it is based on children thinking about their everyday experiences. It is within this curriculum area that 'sense of time' nestles.
What will your child be learning about?
The Foundation Stage is based upon starting with the child. The curriculum area 'A sense of time' takes the child and their experience as a focus.
Children are encouraged to talk about events that have some meaning for them - the idea is that children need to understand their own personal history and that of those around them. In the longer term, this curriculum area will help them prepare for more formal work about history, once they are following the National Curriculum.
