Guest Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Hi does anyone know where I can get hold of some information for parents about what the EYFS is but translated into Gujarati. I have rung dcsf and teacher net publications and they cant find any info translated into any other languages!!
AnonyMouse_3139 Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 This is all I could find, it was in the nursery world 10th Dec 2008. 'Playing and learning together' - a DVD with examples of how parents and carers can get involved in their children's early learning. DCSF, 2007 (ref: 00671-2007 DVD-EN). Available with subtitles and audio in: - Arabic, Bengali, Farsi, Gujarati, Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu (ref: 00111-2008 DVD-EN) - Albanian, Bulgarian, Czech, Romanian, Turkish (ref: 00109-2008 DVD-EN) I found other references to it in Gujarati but no copies, have you tried your local EY dept?
AnonyMouse_15046 Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 I have rung dcsf and teacher net publications and they cant find any info translated into any other languages!! I should jolly well hope they have made a note to do something about it! Talk about not being inclusive!!! Rant over.
AnonyMouse_1999 Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Have you tried Surestart? They did brilliant brochures on the Curriculum Guidance for the Foundation Stage and they were available in several languages. I know I got one in Chinese and seem to remember that Gujarati was one of the languages available. Maybe Surestart have produced something for EYFS?
AnonyMouse_19920 Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 we have some dvds at work - think they are the ones above - cant remember where we got them from though - will check tomorrow what they are and where from if thats any help x
AnonyMouse_1999 Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Brilliant thanks dowmloaded leaflet from Surestart Oh great any chance you could let us know the title? I have had a hunt and couldn't find anything
Guest Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Sorry it wont let me do link Went on Surestart website Click on publications Click - order publications Click on Enabling quality Then parents. Let me know if you find it - theres about 7 different languages
AnonyMouse_1999 Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 ah! got it but it is the one I was talking about earlier that I ordered in Chinese, Here is a quote from the English version I just downloaded. The Foundation Stage is the first stage of the National Curriculum focusing on the distinctneeds of children aged 3 to the end of the reception year in primary school. I wonder if Surestart plan to update to better reflect EYFS
Guest Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Yes I am going to have a thorough read of it to see if it`s all correct and up to date!!
