Welcome to Two Rivers CofE Primary School
EARLY YEARS FOUNDATION STAGE The Foundation Stage is the stage of education for children from birth to the end of the Reception year . The EYFS Framework is based on the recognition that effective learning takes place when children engage in playing and exploring, active learning and have the opportunities to be creative and think critically.

THE CURRICULUM IS ORGANISED INTO AREAS OF LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT: Prime Areas Personal, Social and Emotional Development Physical Development Communication and Language Specific Areas Literacy Mathematics Understanding the World Expressive Arts and Design 4
MONITORING PROGRESS Each of the 7 areas of learning has its own set of ‘Early Learning Goals’ which determine what most children are expected to achieve by the end of Reception Class. We record observations in an app called Tapestry using ipads and these observations are shared with you via the app where you can also comment and upload pictures from home. This will help us to gain a picture of your child’s achievements at home as well as at school. 5

THE FIRST FEW WEEKS We will find out what the children already know & can do. This will form an on-entry assessment, called a baseline. We will use this information to help us to plan their next steps and provide the best education and experiences. We would value any contributions you would like to make in helping us get to know your child’s needs. 9
