WHAT IS THE EYFS?There are seven areas of learning, 3 Prime areas and 4Specific:• Personal Social Emotional Development• Communication and Language • Physical Development • Literacy• Mathematics• Understanding the World• Expressive Arts and Design
All seven areas of learning have equal importance andtherefore reflect the unique child. This begins at birth
and is assessed at the end of reception class against the17 early learning goals.
EARLY LEARNING GOALS Example of ELG’s Emerging Expected
Exceeding Writing Children use their phonic knowledge to write words in
ways which match their spoken sounds. They also write some irregular common words. They write simple sentences which can be read by themselves and others. Some words are spelt correctly and others are phonetically plausible.
Maths Children count reliably with numbers from one to 20, place
them in order and say which number is one more or one less than a given number. Using quantities and objects, they add and subtract two single-digit numbers and count on or back to find the answer. They solve problems, including doubling, halving and sharing.
WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE AT WALTON-LE-DALE?Children experience the followingexperiences each week: Whole class sessions Differentiated learning- phonics, number and
circle time One to one support, where identified Continuous provision child led/adult
supported Child initiated activities Indoor and outdoor classrooms
SUPPORTING GOOD BEHAVIOURHow do we achieve good standards of behaviour?• Positive behaviour prompts • Rainbow, sunshine and cloud• Encouragement of resolution between peers• Time out• The support of the team
These are used consistently as and when required on a regular basis. The emphasis is always on the
positive behaviour. Children’s reflections will always be brought back to the action not the
child.
BEHAVIOUR
We have a sunshine, cloud and rainbow at school. Your child will always be on the sunshine, if they are seen doing something kind, good work, sharing using
good manners they will go on the rainbow! If they need to have a little reflection time they will go on the cloud to have some thinking time. Children also have the opportunity to take home the class bear,
they can take photos and write about their weekend! They will also receive a certificate which will explain
why they have received the bear and their photograph will be placed on the WOW wall!
