It important that boys frequently get an opportunity to explore and learn in the outdoor environment. The curriculum of Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), which became statutory in September 2008, emphasizes the importance of daily outdoor experience for the development of children (Neaum, 2015; Palaiologou, 2013). Neaum (2015) propagates four themes which are purposed to inform the role of early years’ practitioners. They include; the theme of a unique child which stipulates that all children are unique and capable of unique achievements, the theme of positive relationships which affirms that children learn to be strong through positives relationships, the theme of enabling environments whereby children learn well in environments that enable
SJTAA5007 The role of Teachers and support staff in identifying and implementing interventions that suit children’s individual needs using positive behaviour strategies within a primary setting. For the purpose of this project I will be looking at some of the influences that can impact on children’s social and emotional development as they move through childhood. These can often have a great impact on a child’s learning and ability to make successful transitions at key points in their lives. Difficulties often become apparent within the structured institutions such as schools where large cohorts are expected by society to conform to a certain acceptability of behaviour.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) was introduced into England and Wales to try and provide a standard framework for childrenâ€TMs care, learning and development. It followed on from the government report Every Child Matters (ECM) which described how all children should achieve outcomes; • Staying safe • Being healthy • Enjoying and achieving • Making a positive contribution • Achieving economic well-being The government provides funding for every child aged 3 and 4 to receive 15 hours a week Early Years education (38 weeks a year). This follows the EYFS and it enables children from all social backgrounds to have the same opportunity to receive education and therefore more easily achieve the outcomes above.
Children are not experiencing the outdoors the way they used to. It used to be that children would look out the window at the world when they went on road trips but now they are constantly absorbed by their electronic devices. The Last Child in the Wood by Richard Louv is making a very strong argument on this topic. Richard Louv is concerned with making sure children make the same connections about nature that many generations have made before them. In this piece Louv used rhetorical questioning to draw attention to his most crucial points.

The two current curriculum documents for children’s education in Australia are the Australian Curriculum (AC) and the Early Years Learning Framework (ELYF). The Australian Curriculum is intended for use with children in their foundation year of formal schooling through to their final senior secondary year. It is a framework designed to guide Australian educators on what skills and knowledge are to be taught and the quality of learning expected as students’ progress through school (Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority [ACARA], n.d.). The Early Years Learning Framework is intended for educators of children aged birth to five years of age. This framework offers a vision that “all children experience learning that is engaging
The EYFS is a background for all young children from birth right through the end of reception year in all types of early year’s provision. For example, a nursey, childminders and reception class in schools. This is by bringing together the welfare, learning and development needs also the EYFS was planned to raise the standards and to improve more access and positive experiences for all children in the early year’s sector. Hughes and Doherty (2009) explain that the EYFS was intended to promote standards and increase access to confident involvements for all children. It includes children’s safety and welfare desires, learning and development requirements.
This values children’s learning as they have put the children’s interest first which puts children’s learning first as they are playing as well as learning but also enjoying their time playing with others. This approach emphasises the importance of observing children and encouraging them to observe. This approach places an importance on the quality of the experiences that children are given in their early
Traditional school versus Year round school The idea of year round school is starting to be more the topic of discussion. Many people are for the idea of year round education and many are against it. “If our country began on a year around schedule, it would have seemed bizarre to propose the summer- off schedule as a superior way to educate students” says Principle Hazel Colebank. Although some may feel year round school is great for bettering education, changing what’s considered normal could cause more harm than good.
EYE13WB-1.1 Explain the role of the early years practitioner during: • nappy changing • toilet training • washing and bath time • skin, teeth and hair • meal time It is very important to establish a routine as an early year practitioner. Routines will support the physical care needs of children. It should provide a predictable and well-ordered environment, children know what to expect. They are comforting and provide regularity, especially for babies as they enable them to adjust to their own body rhythms.
It is important that when practitioners create the indoor environment they take into account of the children and young people’s interest, age and their individual needs. This will help the child to feel valued when going into the setting. The practitioner can plan activities within the environment as this can help a child to learn new skills. A practitioner can do this by using the indoor or outdoor environment, this could be by allowing the child to go on bikes. This will help the child to develop their physical development without them knowing and using play.
Within the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) it is enormously important for relationships to be formed and maintained. Relationships should be formed between teachers and their pupils, teachers and parents and between teachers themselves. It is important for relationships to be maintained throughout the EYFS so that the child’s learning and development is effectively taught, so parents and carers knows they can trust the teachers and so teachers can work together successfully. Teachers and their pupils need to have a positive relationship.
Whilst activities are being planned and carried out, practitioners need to ensure that they are observing children and recording so that the planning can continue in order to develop their emergent literacy based on the EYFS. The EYFS is used until the end of Reception. From the start of year 1, teachers will be using the National Curriculum in order to plan activities for the children. The working with parents does not stop when the child leaves the early years setting; this is because teachers in school need to be working in partnership with parents to review and report back to the
