Principles Into Practice Cards

[Guest LornaW]

I know I should know this, and I am sure I have heard it somewhere but cannot remember where are these still applicable to the revised framework?

 

I was looking for a quote from the revised framework to update this from the QCA Guidance in 2005

 

"...the development and use of communication and language is at the heart of young children's learning"

 

could I find anything like this? I could not! Urgh!!!!!

Well they have been promoting the use of them on the foundation years website - under the getting ready bits.

OK another stupid question!!

Should we completely ditch the May 2008 EYFS documents?

not sure I will yet...

[AnonyMouse_11396]

Well I'm not going too. Lots of lovely links on the cd to other sites, etc.

I'm keeping mine, it'll be like the Birth to Three where they re-visit it ten years later

on the basis that good pedagogy hasn't changed I reckon there's lots of good advice still in the documentation.

At the EYFS briefing last month we were told not to get rid of the CD as there were some really good resources on it which were still applicable. Have to say I still have a copy of Curriculum Guidance for the Foundation Stage at the back of the cupboard - well you never know!

Thanks everyone my sentiments exactly but I had heard some LAs were advising to ditch it! rachellps I still have my Curriculum Guidance and Catma I agree with you there is just so much in there that will be useful.

 

I remember going to a meeting with Lesley Staggs when the Curriculum Guidance was being developed and all of the great discussions on pedagogy this new revised document just seems so weak on its own - heh! ho!

I know - that's what worries me with all this "slimmed down" "easier" business - children's learning doesn't "slim down" does it?

[AnonyMouse_11396]

Here here. I recently went to an Early Excellence conference and it was certainly agreed that if things work for you within the old framework alongside the revised Eyfs keep using it.

The training i attended said to keep hold of the old EYFS materials as thye would still be useful...especially the principles into practice cards

[AnonyMouse_9650]

During discussions with Sue Robb (4 Children) at a meeting she suggested that pages 20 to 24 (Learning and Teaching) of the CGFS and principles into practice cards 4.1 (Play and Exploration) 4.2 (Active Learning) and 4.3 (Creativity and Critcal Thinking) were still very useful resources to have alongside the revised EYFS.

 

Like others I still have CGFS and somewhere on a PDF the original DLOs :blink:

 

No point throwing baby out with the bath water - there's still lots of good stuff in the older publications.

 

I have uploaded the CGFS and principles into practice cards for anyone interested.

I, too have been told the PIPs cards were still very useful and I wouldn't dream of getting rid of CD as there's some great stuff on it!

 

I also still have DLOs, CGFS, BTTM and will keep the 2008 version to complete the set......

 

My house is a mess - wonder why???
