Hi Help needed! I am EYFS co-ordinator at my school ( just out of the otherside of an inspection - this week - yippee!!!!!) and work in Reception. We have a nursery which is split into Rising 3's and those who will join reception this September. My colleague with the youngest nursery children has a little girl who has just joined who can count like there's no tomorrow, recognising all her numbers to 20 and knows all her letter sounds. My colleague does not want to push her, but equally wants to ensure that her needs are being met and that she is suitably stimulated. Any ideas? Socially she seems to be a very happy and contented little girl who mixes well. Any help…

Good morning!! Was hoping someone could help me! Has anyone got a information sheet/s for parents explaining the EYFS. We do have something which we give out to parents but is on many, many pages and the cost of photocopying it each time a new child starts is just getting silly! I would really like a condenced version on 1 or 2 pages which just outlines the EYFS for parents. I have tried forum search but am getting no where fast. Please help would be most grateful. (oh and hope I have made some sort of sense).

Native Americans

Hi, we are exploring countries around the world this term and Native americans is something we as a team thought it would be good to explore with the children. I had ideas about making indian headresses and making life size teepees etc, however, I keep coming across websites saying you should not do these things in a "respectful" setting as it can be seen as mickey taking. Now I feel a bit stuck for ideas if we are to be "respectful". i do my best to respect each culture as we look at them but now feel a bit lost as to how to integrate crafts etc with this whilst still being respectful!
