Early Years Foundation stage...

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), lays out the learning goals from birth, through pre-schoolers and continues into the reception class at school. The emphasis is still on children’s learning through planned play and extending and developing children’s spontaneous play. So laying secure foundations for future learning. It is broken down into six areas. Activities are planned that target specifc areas but more often an activity will give children access to several of these areas simultaneously. For example most play, whether creative or mathmatical in nature will include communication and social opportunities!
