Days of the week and Time

[2kidsunder5]

Ok, probably being a bit stupid here but where in the new EYFS Dev matters does it cover time and days of the week?
I have a 50 month old who is constantly asking me what time is it and is today ....day. Can think of lots of next steps but can't link it?

Hope that makes sense

In old EYFS would have been under KUW - time, but now just quickly flicking through I think it could go under Understanding the World - The world 30-50 months "asks questions about aspects of their familar world" (think we could put nearly every question under that heading) or maybe Maths - shape, space and measure " 40-60 months "uses everyday language related to time".

I posted a similar thread in EYFS "matching observations to statements" and the general advice was don't waste too much time, go with whatever you feel is right - it doesn't have to "say" exactly the same as your observation but should be what is closest or "best fit"

Thanks you so much. I have just read the thread and love the "best fit" way of doing it.

Awareness of time is in maths now... seasons and decay is in understanding the world.

And as hectors house says... my new favourite words... just find the best fit!
