EYFS - Knowledge and Understanding of the World

The statutory early learning goals (detailed below) establish expectations for most children to reach by the end of the EYFS. They provide the basis for planning throughout the EYFS, so laying secure foundations from birth for future learning. .

Educational programme

Children must be supported in developing the knowledge, skills and understanding that help them to make sense of the world. Their learning must be supported through offering opportunities for them to use a range of tools safely; encounter creatures, people, plants and objects in their natural environments and in real-life situations; undertake practical 'experiments'; and work with a range of materials.

Early learning goals

By the end of the EYFS, children should:

Investigate objects and materials by using all of their senses as appropriate.

Find out about, and identify, some features of living things, objects and events they observe.

Look closely at similarities, differences, patterns and change.

Ask questions about why things happen and how things work.

Build and construct with a wide range of objects, selecting appropriate resources and adapting their work where necessary.

Select the tools and techniques they need to shape, assemble and join materials they are using.

Find out about and identify the uses of everyday technology and use information and communication technology and programmable toys to support their learning.

Find out about past and present events in their own lives, and in those of their families and other people they know.

Observe, find out about and identify features in the place they live and the natural world.

Find out about their environment, and talk about those features they like and dislike.

Begin to know about their own cultures and beliefs and those of other people.
