Guest Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Hi Just handed in my final assignment for my first year of the Foundation Degree in Learning and Teaching - what a year! One last hurdle for next Monday though - the dreaded presentation Have based it on what happens if the 'Foundations' are left incomplete, by which I mean what the results are of an abrupt transition into a year one class where there is no regard given to the profile and no play based provision. Just need a bit more evidence to back up some of my points - I know that in Wales the FS has been extended & does anyone have any info on this or anything connected Thanx, Miffy x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Transition is a big issue and there is a growing trend to make yr1 more child friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigger Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Miffy, Have you looked at thr transition study by the NFER? If you look at the NFER site there are other articles written by Dawn Sanders including a presentation she did regarding her findings. The Early Years Educator magazine has had a couple of articles written by teachers in Lewisham or Wandsworth who have extended the foundation stage practice into year 1 and why they decided to change. If you haven't seen any of this I can send you proper addresses and dates of articles but can't now as I am too excited! S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
