Workshop
Reflecting on your context;
Identify one aspect of the Foundation Stage that you believe is proving to be the most
successful
And what evidence would you use to support this

The Principles underpinning the Foundation Stage
‘Young children learn best when learning is interactive, practical and enjoyable for both
children and teachers.’

WorkshopWhat Are the Characteristics of an Effective Early Years Practitioner ?
![Page 10: Developing Good Practice](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56815018550346895dbdffd8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Role of the Adult
• Adults can enhance the learning potential of an activity (or inhibit it)
• The cognitive level of an activity is often raised when an adult is involved
• Adults have the power to switch children on to learning or to destroy their natural exploratory drive
![Page 11: Developing Good Practice](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56815018550346895dbdffd8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The adults role in supporting learning
• Careful, considered and informed planning
• Choice of resources
• Questioning: effective & open-ended
• Modelling, appropriate language and skills
• Enthusiasm & interest
• Knowing when or not to intervene
![Page 12: Developing Good Practice](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56815018550346895dbdffd8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Can the adult inhibit learning ?
• Asking too many questions
• ‘Closed’ questions
• Over-direction / adult taking over
• Not giving the children enough time
• Over-emphasis on the product rather than the process
![Page 13: Developing Good Practice](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56815018550346895dbdffd8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Learning Partnerships
Parents and carers are children’s first educators and learning at home happens in
a natural and informal way. It is essential that there is open communication between school and home which is based on shared
understanding and mutual respect.
![Page 14: Developing Good Practice](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56815018550346895dbdffd8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Partnerships with other Professionals
To allow for the exchange of information, it is important that good relationships are
established with members of the community and the other agencies that contribute to the
child’s all round development.

Transition
• What do you know about the child on entry to Year 1
• What do you need to know about the child?
• How can you manage this information effectively to support learning?
![Page 16: Developing Good Practice](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56815018550346895dbdffd8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Snack Time
Snack time is more than the provision of food – it is a learning opportunity

Play
‘Every child has the right to play’
The UN Convention of Rights of the Child
Article 31
![Page 22: Developing Good Practice](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56815018550346895dbdffd8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Purpose of Play
Play provides children with opportunities to experience learning in a meaningful and purposeful way. It is a means by which children can develop their skills and capacities to be effective learners.
![Page 23: Developing Good Practice](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56815018550346895dbdffd8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Play
Children should have opportunities to experience much of their learning through
well planned and challenging play.
Self initiated play helps children to understand and learn about themselves and
their surroundings

Play
‘Play develops creativity, intellectual competence, emotional strength and stability, and and feelings of joy and pleasure, the habit of being happy’
