Foundation Phase and Evaluation Report
Foundation Phase
The Foundation Phase (FP) proposes a continuum of learning for children from the ages of 3 to 7. It contains seven areas of learning which are:
- Personal and Social Development and Well-being.
- Language, Literacy and Communication.
- Mathematical Development.
- Bilingualism and Multi-Cultural Understanding.
- Knowledge and Understanding of the World.
- Physical Development.
- Creative Development.
The FP advocates children learning through first hand experimental activities and play; and places a child's personal and social development and well-being at the heart of the curriculum.
