EYFS Curriculum � As children grow, the prime areas will help them

Child Led Learning at Ashmead
� EYFS follows a child led curriculum – not based on topics
� Designed to have the flexibility to follow the children’s specific interests and/or needs
� Child is in the driving seat
� Adults respond to what the child finds interesting or needs further support in and develops the environment and activities around these things

How we learn… � Opportunities for child initiated learning in all
areas of learning – both inside and outside
� Adult supported activities – adults will play or work alongside children in their play to support them to develop (e.g. developing language when talking to friends, sharing resources, cutting)
� Adult led activities – differentiated to support and challenge individual needs
� Trips and visitors
Independence in the EYFS � Important your child learns how to do things for
themselves – supports confidence and physical development
� Throughout the Early Years adults teach, model and provide a range of opportunities to develop children's independence:
� Encouraging children to tidy up resources, put own coats on and get dressed for Forest School, use the toilet/wash hands, serve own milk/water (breakfast in Nursery), select own resources to further their learning
