can anyone help i have been on 1 course when the talk of the EYFS became official. It was a 2 hour evening course. But im confused now do i need to go on another one? I've always done planning for activities and i have a contact book for the children but i think i now need more. Has anyone got any observation sheets in place and if you have is there any chance i could have a peek at it. Im utterly confused now about what i'm meant to do.
I also have one mindee who i am the main carer for and he starts school next september am i supposed to have some sort of official assessment sheet that i pass onto the parent to give to the school? or because when he starts he will be 4 and 4 months will the school be responsible for doing it?
the website states the following:
The EYFS Profile is a way of summing up each child's development and learning achievements at the end of the EYFS. It is based on practitioners' ongoing observation and assessments in all six areas of Learning and Development. Each child's level of development must be recorded against the 13 assessment scales derived from the early learning goals. Judgements against these scales, which are set out in Appendix 1 of the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage, should be made from observation of consistent and independent behaviour, predominantly children's self-initiated activities.
Some children will have experienced a range of settings during the final year of the EYFS and may have a number of carers. In these cases the EYFS Profile must be completed by the provider where the child spends the majority of time between 8 am and 6 pm. Providers should take account of all available records and of any formal or informal discussions with the parents and with those involved with children in the previous year.
Thanks for any advice!:panic:
