Teaching and Learning Early Years Foundation Stage
This Teachers TV video examines how learning for both nursery and reception children at Great Barr Primary School is supported by careful observation and planning.
Lower Phase Leader Amanda McKenna believes that mathematics should be fun and part of everyday experiences. Independent, play-based experiences are at the heart of young children's mathematical development in the Early Years Foundation Stage at Great Barr. Their current focus is geared towards supporting children to become mathematical problem solvers, with the development of skills such as number recognition, number ordering and calculation.
Practitioners demonstrate how they assess the children through day-to-day observations, and then how these observations feed into staff meetings and consequently future planning.
