EYFS

Early Years Foundation Stage Provision

Progression and play

Our school aims underpin our Early Years curriculum and guide our planning.

Well-planned and well-resourced play activities which allow for progression in a child’s thinking and understanding can provide the context in which these aims become the reality for all our children.

EYFS POLICY
children running and playing in the outdoor EYFS area

Progression in play reflects the observation and assessment of children’s knowledge, skills and attitudes in order to provide developmentally appropriate experiences. Children come to school already as skilled learners. Through our observations, assessment and professional judgement we gain valuable insights into how each one learns best. This information informs our planning to meet the needs of each individual child. Progression in play comes about as a result of a real understanding of the interests, needs and experiences of the child.

All children at Poplar Farm School will be given opportunities to experience:
– Dramatic Play
– Sand Play
– Water Play
– Dough and Clay
– Table top
– Small world
– Construction
– Creative

These opportunities will be both indoor and outdoor, expected to be 50-50 split.
