The Early Years Foundation Stage

At Chandag Infant School

What is the Early Years Foundation Stage?

• Statutory framework that begins when a child attends a

nursery or pre-school setting or if they are cared for by a child-minder – this can begin at birth. (Birth to Five)

• Final stage of EYFS is Reception. Using data from pre-

schools and baseline assessment, we plan a suitable curriculum for your child.

We learn through play…

Assessment

• 17 Early Learning Goals across the Early

Years curriculum which your child will be working towards in their Reception year.

• At the end of the year, teachers assess whether

children are emerging, expected, exceeding.

How can you help us?

• Talk to us – partnership with parents.
• Parents know their children best – add to

Tapestry.

• Children learning all the time – out-of-school

learning - Awards/certificates - swimming, gymnastics, football, rugby, Rainbows, Beavers.

Phonics

• Promoted by the government as the best way to boost

reading standards. Not new (1850!)

• Decode words by sounds.

Words broken up into the smallest units of sound (phonemes).

• Children taught the letters

(graphemes) that represent these phonemes and also learn to blend them into words. So, at its most basic, children are taught to read the letters in a word like c-a-t, and then merge them to pronounce the word cat.

• Systematically taught around 40 phonic sounds and the

combination of letters used to represent each sound (er, ur, ir for example)

• Graphemes are grouped together and children progress from
• ne group to the other and will be tested at the end of year
• ne, when they are six years old.
• Always used in combination

with other methods e.g. meaning

• f sentence, pictures, context.
• We will provide a phonics

workshop for parents.

And Finally…

We look forward to developing a fantastic partnership with you and your child for the rest of the year. Helpers!
