Intent
Our intent is for our children to develop a love of a wide range books, link sounds and letters and begin to independently read and write.
Implementation
We provide daily story times and singing sessions, ensuring that our children develop the early language needed to tell stories. Children are given daily opportunities to read for pleasure, both independently and through story and singing time at the end of the day. Children are provided with daily opportunities to mark make using a range of media.
Impact
We monitor the progress of our children through regular, ongoing observations and assessments. We use our online Learning journey, Tapestry, to record this. We use the United Learning Curriculum, Statutory framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage and Development Matters to plan our progressive curriculum, across our EYFS, in order ensure that our children are making good progress. We also moderate both within school and externally as a LAT to ensure that our judgements are accurate.
