My head teacher has asked me to calculate the points progress for each child in EYFS like they do with the KS1 and KS2 curriculum. I wondered if anyone else has been asked to do this and what they classed as 1 points progress? I am unsure how to adapt it to fit with the EYFS curriculum. Any help or advise welcome!!

Hi, I am wondering how different settings have to 'justify' their EYFSP judgements in regard to reading and writing. Do most settings use the Govt Exemplars and then trust teacher judgement or, do settings also take into consideration the reading level the child is at (ie what level of reader they are on) and which Phase within Letters and Sounds they are working within? If so, what is the recommended 'minimum' Letters and Sounds Phase a child 'should' be at by the end of Reception? And what reading level 'should' they be on by the end of Reception if they are to be Expected or Exceeding on the EYFSP? Thanks in advance!

I have gone back to my data for this term and am suddenly met with a sinking feeling that I have been too harsh on my assessments and have not properly understood the terminology! This is the first year my school has been using Tapestry and it uses the terminology of 'ELG Emerging, developing a…

Hi everyone, Firstly, thanks for taking the time to read my post! Secondly, I am after some help! I have been out of the EY's for a couple of years but now I'm back and things seem to have changed! The setting where I work seems stuck in a time warp regarding planning and resources. We take it in turns to plan activities, bot related to what the children's interests are, but what is on our medium term planning ( this is a book, colour and shape a week). We carry out activities around the colour, shape and book and call children over to carry out these activities in their learning journey books. We have very old and worn out resources, which make planning e…

Hi everyone! Our school will be doing a Roald Dahl special day in February and I would greatly appreciate which of his short stories would you recommend for a class with 2 to 3 / 4 year olds and another with 4 to 5 year olds. I would prefer the least scary ones. Thanks in advance!?
