Assessment and Reports

This term, teachers will be assessing children against the Early Learning Goals.

Children will be assessed in seventeen areas. You can read these

Early Learning Goals here. In each area, children will be assessed as

'expected' if they have achieved that early learning goal, or as 'emerging' if

they are still working toward that goal. This assessment is referred to as 'The 

Early Years Profile' and will be shared with you with your child's report and passed on to your child's Year 1 teacher.

 

Term 6 Overview

​

For our final term we are kicking off with the adventure story 'Jack and the Flum Flum Tree' by Julia Donaldson. We'll need our map reading and making skills that week! We will then move onto a larger theme of our wider world with 'Meerkat Mail' and celebrating different cultures and people inspired by the book 'All Are Welcome'. We plan to lead up to an international day on 1st July when children can come dressed in clothes inspired by another country/culture and we can taste some food. If you can contribute any food of international origin for our tasting that would be much appreciated.
