The EYFS Development Matters curriculum

In EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) we are following a special Early Years curriculum which is designed to give the children the skills and knowledge ready for starting school. They will then progress onto the National Curriculum which caters for children from year 1 to year 6. The EYFS curriculum is play based and heavily centred around communication and language. There are 17 Early Learning Goals which we are aiming for by the end of Reception (Summer term). More information regarding the Early Learning Goals will be provided by the class teacher during the academic year.

Tapestry

The Reception Tapestry Journals are now ready for uploading from your individual Tapestry accounts. To do this, log into www.tapestryjournal.com (you cannot do this from the App). Click on your name in the top right hand corner and select 'downloads'. There should be a zip file containing all your child's photos and videos. This can be a huge document and printing is not recommended. If you have any difficulty, Tapestry do brilliant video tutorials on You Tube.
