My head of centre went on a consultation last week where it was mentioned that the new EYFS ( I presume amended since the consultation) has been published online. However I have searched the obvious places and all I can find is the old consultation document. Anyone know if and where I can find it?

Hi I read a post on here not so long ago and I think it was Marion and Beckyann who said they send home five action words each week to their children? We are currently sending home action words but wanted to send some ideas for parents to play games with them. I was wondering if anyone had any good simple games ideas to send home for parents to do with their children? My meeting about key words is next week and wanted to have them for then but my minds gone blank! Any help would be gratefully appreciated

How often do you change the activity in your sand and water tray? At the moment I plan for a different activity/resource daily. I am beginning to wonder if this is too often, as not all children get a chance to access the activity in a day. Any thoughts/suggestions would be gratefully received.
