Guest Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 hi everyone is there any literature or books out there that will help me understand the eyfs statements .not qualified yet and really struggling just wondered if any of your settings had any information that helped students understand and give examples of the statements.

Guest Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Which part of the EYFS are you thinking about? Is it Development Matters? yes a lot of them i do understand but the more complex ones i havent got a clue my setting hasnt been much help i feel like im being a nuisance when i ask them to explain what they mean or give me examples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upsy Daisy Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I've seen lots of posts where people have asked for these to be clarified so you are not alone. Why don't you post a couple of the ones which stump you and perhaps some lovely person will come up with some ideas for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I'm puzzled - the statements give a brief explanation of things to look for with them, are you wanting more than that? Which ones are you 'stuck' on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louby loo Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Have you got your own copy of the EYFS pack? If not you need to get hold of one..they're free but you need to phone and order one or you can go to the website and download the relevant pages. In the Practice Guidance book you will find examples of how to support children which helps explain what the statements mean. I'm sorry I'm not good at links else I'd put it on. xxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
