EYFS Curriculum
How will my child be learning
The EYFS Framework explains how and what your child will be learning to support their healthy development. Your child will be learning skills, acquiring new knowledge and demonstrating their understanding through 7 areas of learning and development.
3 Prime Areas
•Children should mostly develop the 3 prime areas first. These 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.
4 Specific Areas
•As children grow, the prime areas will help them to develop skills in 4 specific areas. These are:
•Literacy; •Mathematics; •Understanding the world; and•Expressive arts and design.
EYFS
Children in the EYFS learn by playing and exploring, being active, and through creative and critical thinking which takes place both indoors and outside.
When your child is 5
•At the end of the EYFS – in the summer term of the reception year in school – teachers complete an assessment which is known as the EYFS Profile.
•This assessment is carried out by the reception teacher and is based on what they, and other staff caring for your child, have observed over a period of time.
When your child is 5
•Another important part of the EYFS Profile is your knowledge about your child’s learning and development, so do let your child’s class teacher know about what your child does with you and any accomplishments at home, such as writing their name, making their own bed, counting to 10, dressing themselves in a morning…
Communication and Language
This covers three specific areas:• Understandin
g• Speaking• Listening and
attention
• Without good listening and speaking skills, your child will find it difficult to learn in all areas of the curriculum!
• Talk to your child everyday about anything and everything!
• Give your child the opportunity to tell you about their day, what they have done and seen.
• Encourage your child to speak in sentences. • Read with your child. Reading gives children
access to new vocabulary which will help their communication skills.
Things to try at home:-•Play games like ‘I spy’•Sing songs and rhymes together•Make a ‘junk band’ with pots & pans•Share lots of books together
