I just read a tread where some settings are using Education City for ICT. I have had a quick look at their website and they are offering a free trial. I can't find the EYFS section as someone mentioned. There are only two choices, Primary and Families. Also, can you tell me what the cost is after the trial for a pre-school please? I probably had too quick of a look and it is staring me in the face!

'Able to follow a story without pictures or props' What would you expect to see when assessing this statement? Would you want the child to re-tell the story or would you expect the child to answer questions?

Those of you who subscribe to the foundations 4 children site will have been posted a link to a new resource for parents about learning and development in the EYFS. I think at first glance it looks rather good. If you haven't yet seen it, you can click on the link below: http://www.foundationyears.org.uk/2015/03/what-to-expect-when-a-parents-guide/

Wouldn't it be good to compile a list of examples/observed characteristics on fsf for C&TC that we could use as a reference? ... ... 1. M is able to group things - when counting the cars she noticed that some had numerals on them and sorted them, saying "one, two, three with numbers ... one, two, three, four, five ... they got no numbers". 2. "This doesn't fit ... it's too small!" 3. "When I go to big school Mummy will be bored at home." 4. G is confident to take risks. He will put up his hand to answer questions during whole class discussions and offer new suggestions and his own ideas. 5. G will put himself forward and took on an acting role during dr…

I think we have discussed this before but i just wanted some opinions. When you are assessing children in relation to learning outcomes do you only assess what they can do in English? If assessing in home language how do you do this if you do not speak their language?...or is there a point in their learning where you would expect them to do this in English? There are only 3 ELG's that could possibly be achieved without speaking ....what do you do in this situation?

Just can't get my brain into gear - can anyone suggest a 'characteristic' for the following?
