The Early Years Foundation stage (Reception Class)
Curriculum
Children in Reception Class will be working within the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. Many children will have been to nursery or playgroup and will have already begun work on the EYFS. The areas of the curriculum covered at pre-school settings are described as stepping stones and provide skills, understanding and attitudes that the children will need to enable them to progress further through the Foundation Stage when entering Reception Class.
Early Learning Goals
The areas covered in Reception Class are described as Early Learning Goals.
The Early Learning Goals form the final part of the Foundation Stage Curriculum, and it is these goals that the children will be working towards achieving by the end of their year in Reception Class. These Early Learning Goals provide a smooth transition to the National Curriculum, which begins in Year One.
The Foundation stage Curriculum is organised into six areas of learning:
A typical day in Reception class is organised through adult focused activities, where the children work in small groups or individually, with an adult, and child choice activities which involve the children choosing from a selection of activities planned to develop skills set out in the Early Learning Goals in all six areas of learning.
Early Years Foundation Stage Profile
The children will be assessed on entry to Reception Class in relation to the Stepping stones, which they may have been working on during their time in pre-school settings. These assessments will be made in all 6 areas of learning and will be achieved through planned activities and teacher observation. The information obtained will ensure that each individual child will be provided with opportunities to suit individual needs and these assessments will be recorded in the Foundation Stage Profile document.
Assessment will be ongoing throughout the year in Reception Class, looking at children's progression towards and through the Early Learning Goals and any progression further. Through recording, this information in the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile, a picture of the whole child is provided at the end of the Foundation Stage. This information will provide the Year One teacher with information about each child and serve as each child's end of year report.
What you can do to help
Encourage your child to become independent by tidying up toys, dressing and undressing, fastening buttons and zips, using the toilet, washing and drying hands and using a knife and fork.
Sharing books with your child can develop good language, reading skills and a love of books. Choose a time when you are both relaxed, and let your child choose a book to share- don't be worried if your child chooses books they have read lots of times before, children's reading and enjoyment of books is developed trough lots of repetition. Encourage your child to talk about the stories and pictures. Singing nursery rhymes is an ideal way to help develop your child's memory skills and knowledge of rhyme.
