Opis

Knowledge and understanding of the world is fundamental to children’s learning and development with regard to community, family, other cultures and beliefs. It cuts across all of the EYFS guiding themes and has implications for inclusion, respect for oneself and for others irrespective of ethnicity, culture or religion, home language, family background, learning difficulties, gender, disabilities or abilities.

We know that practitioners responsible for the nurturing of young children in their settings, are conscientious, but busy people. We also know that students need clear accessible material to help them further their learning.  This book will both challenge thinking and provide support for practitioners in helping them to help children explore through practical learning experiences in order to make sense of their developing world.

This highly practical series links fully and comfortably to the Early Years Foundation Stage  making the implementation of the practice guidance within your setting easy. Each book provides a theoretical background on which  good practice is based, helping practitioners provide children with a relevant, age appropriate, exciting and challenging curriculum in each area of learning.  Each book includes:

• Easy to implement practical ideas across all age groups
• Suggestions for innovative use of everyday resources and/or popular books and stories
• How to consider each area of learning within its broadest context.

The series is complemented by a planning book providing clear ideas on how to plan and deliver cross-curriculum activities throughout the EYFS, and how to use observation and assessment in a positive way to inform practice.
