Guest Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Hi again! I'm becoming quite the regular on here these days! Latest question, we have lots of children who really enjoy puzzles, and several who have no clue hw to do them, so obviously this is something we include in our continuous provision, however my question is - where does it fit in to the new Development Matters? It must be in there somewhere, but only reference I can find at the moment is in the 16-24mths to do with trying to fit puzzle pieces in... Where / How would you include puzzles in your planning? Thanks guys xx
AnonyMouse_2418 Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 They are Maths - as you identified with the babies - 22-36 - categorising by shape or size and at the top end ELG is part of the everyday language to talk about position, recognise & create patterns, and in 40-60+ using familiar objects and common shapes to create and re-create patterns. Well that's where I would put it anyway :1b
Guest Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 Thanks! Planning is back to taking as long as it did when i started, trying to find where to place different things! lol
AnonyMouse_12960 Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 ok heres one that's got me stumped. Where does colour recognition go now?
AnonyMouse_35585 Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 ok heres one that's got me stumped. Where does colour recognition go now? I was looking for that too
AnonyMouse_35577 Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 I think there are lots missing in the revised eyfs that were present before
AnonyMouse_14268 Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 We were wondering about the colour recognition, I would put it under exploring and using media and materials.
AnonyMouse_31752 Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 I think colour is in exploring and using media and materials (30-50/40-60) under what happens as colours change etc. and being imaginative under choosing colour for a particular purpose?? 1
AnonyMouse_2418 Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 I agree - thats where I would put it too :1b 1
Guest Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 mst things i find come under every heading - puzzles can also be PD, PSED if working with another child
AnonyMouse_12960 Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Also, no mention of fesivals and customs............
AnonyMouse_44055 Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Also, no mention of fesivals and customs............ But in Understanding the World - People & Communities there is mention of identifying similarities and difference, family customs and routines & communities and traditions all of which could incorporate festivals and customs but are not limited specifically to a religious context. I like this change because it means that even children with little or no experience of cultural diversity can begin to access this in child led activities in addition to the planned experiences to introduce them to different cultures and traditions.
