Hello, i hope someone can help me. I am a bit unsure how to fit the EYFS into the Siraj-Blatchford (2004) framework. I am trying to find out if the EYFS is an open framework approach or and Child-centred approach. Who controls the curriculum? Who selects, paces and sequences the learning? Does the child/parents have more control or the educators and professionals within this framework. And also not sure about the classification. Is the curriculum content defined in terms of subjects?

How is everyone getting on with Tm03? I have done the tour. It involve just being led by the child and engaging his opinions on the various rooms. He was very vocal and got most of the information. I know a lot of people are using cameras as well. Would just having the verbal communication be ok? Also, my phase 2 just involve speaking to the parent and clarifying some details. Is this enough. l am so confused with this assignment.

I'm writing an essay about my approaches to teaching and learning in mathematical development and I would like to argue that it is not appropriate to decide beforehand what a child will learn from a planned activity. I need to find someone who has an opinion I can quote about whether we should plan for learning outcomes or offer the activity then note what the child actually did learn. I can find nothing at the moment. If anyone has read anything which I can link to this or can throw any names my way I would be eternally grateful. Does it fit with the Reggio approach? I haven't read enough about it to know yet. Please help

Does anyone know where I can find any please? I've googled until my eyes hurt but it doesn't actually bring up any norms tables with reference to where they originated......if that makes sense??? I've got to compare 3 observations to developmental norms, I've used the eyfs stages because that Is what we use at work (Pre-school) but my tutpr has said not just to use eyfs also I've done a ticklist obs on a child who's parent was worried she was only playing with one child, how can I compare that to social and emotional norms. any help would be very gratefully received
