Areas of learning?
Hey guys, hope you can help clear up some confusion amongst the staff at our setting. We seem to be divided. Some of us believe we should be covering all areas of development within our planning and observations; while others think there should only be 3 areas focused on altogether.
I've been out of the early years learning for around a year, so my own comprehension is a little rusty! From my understanding, we should be looking at and offering learning opportunities that cover each area of learning with the EYFS. Whilst a lot of these steps will be assessed through observations of child initiated play; activities should try and cover numerous early learning goals. Practioners should be making regular observations that cover all areas of learning. Possibly focusing of 2/3 areas each term, rather than the confusion of looking at all of them simultaneously. But through the year all areas should have been covered. Is this correct ? Any advice from senior members of staff would greatly be appreciated. Many thanks!
