outdoors, planning exciting learning experiences.' - Early Years
Update, September 2009
This new edition of Planning for Children's Play and Learning has been
fully updated to reflect the revised Early Years Foundation Stage and in
line with current policy and practice. It recognises the importance of
play as a context for teaching, learning and assessment and links theory
with practical examples to show practitioners how they can best support
the children in their care.
With new material on learning stories, language development, ICT and the
home learning environment, the book includes practical guidance and
ideas on:
- creating stimulating learning environments indoors and out
- planning exciting focus activities and experiences
- responding to children's individual interests and supporting
personalised learning
- sound observational practice and how to assess children's learning
and development
within the EYFS framework
- developing genuine partnerships with parents and learning links with
home.
Incorporating 'Key Points for Good Practice' within each chapter, and
direct links to the EYFS, this is a key text for all practitioners
working with children in the later stages of the EYFS. It is also ideal
for students pursuing Qualified Teacher Status in the Early Years and
EYT Status, and for those enrolled in courses in Early Childhood Studies
and Foundation Degrees in Early Years.
