EYFS Lesson Plans

Just a quick note to draw everyone’s attention to our new lesson plan section which can be accessed on the menu bar.

We’re really keen to make this section as comprehensive as possible so if you have a plan or idea that has worked well in your setting then please get in touch, we’d love to share it with our visitors....and you will be given full credit of course.

In my last blog entry I introduced our new ‘enabling environments’ section. Within this section there are several resources devoted to so-called ‘learning journeys’.

Saint Andrew’s Day

Posted by: PETER SAMUEL On: November 30, 2011 our contributors

First of all let me start by wishing you all a happy Saint Andrew’s day. I have a confession to make...I was completely unaware that it took place on November the 30^th until someone mentioned it this morning.
