Don’t miss this – Understanding and Supporting Transition from the EYFS to Year 1 in English and Mathematics 23-24 – 3 June and 15 October 2024
The Early Years Advisory, HIAS English and maths leads have worked collaboratively to develop key messages around transition into Year 1. The importance of this has been long standing, however the EYFS reforms have reinforced the significance of high-quality transition in learning into Year 1.
This course is designed to support Year 1 teachers to develop a stronger understanding of the Early Year curriculum. It is designed to support the transition into Year 1 through the continuation of early years pedagogy and practice in the autumn term. Curriculum expectations for English and mathematics will be explored in the context of continuous and enhanced provision and a gradual transition towards more structured approaches of teaching.
