What is the Early Years Foundation Stage?

• The Early Years Foundation Stage (E.Y.F.S.) is the stage of education for children from birth to the end of the Reception year

• It is based on the recognition that children learn best through play and active learning

Seven Areas of learning…

1. Communication and Language2. Physical Development 3. Personal, Social and Emotional Development4. Literacy5. Mathematics6. Understanding of the world7. Expressive Arts and Design

3 Prime Areas

• Children should mostly develop the 3 prime areas first, which are…Communication and language; Physical development; Personal, social and emotional development.

These prime areas are those most essential for your child’s healthy development and future learning.

Communication and language

Physical development

Personal, social and emotional development

4 Specific Areas

• As children grow, the prime areas will help them to develop skills in 4 specific areas.

Notes The children are exploring things in the

environment. Ali” Look Miss Phillips, we are doing

this in a team.” Miss Phillips ” Yes” Bailey “let's get

some more” Ali “Collect this stone to build this

stage in there” Oliver “I can see a bug” Ali “ Yay we

got a bug.” Bailey “we don't need help, were just

strong” Sophie “So guys where do you want me to

put this log. I will put it here.” They worked

together as a team and co-operated well.

Next steps Continue to encourage opportunities for teamwork.

The EYFS defines school readiness as…

‘The broad range of skills, knowledge and attitudes children need as foundations for good future progress.’

(Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage, page 4).

Dorridge Primary School adopts UNICEF’s description of School Readiness as consisting of three pillars –

Children’s readiness for school

Family’s readiness for school

School’s readiness for children Together, these pillars maximise each child’s likelihood of success as they progress through their

time in school.We believe that…

Children are ‘school ready’ when they are resilient and confident, with a keenness to learn and have effective

personal and social skills.

School Readiness

And Finally…

• If you would like to come in to school to help out in we are always grateful for volunteers

• If you have any worries or concerns please come in and see us and we will do our best to help you

• We look forward to working with you and your child in September
