Knowledge and Understanding of the World in the Early Years Foundation Stage
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.
