linking activity to eyfs
 

Sorry but i don't know how to make a thread, but i want to do opposites with children but i need to link it to EYFS

Hi, welcome to silkysteps. What sort of opposites activity are you planning to do?

I have flash cards with words and pictures of opposites on them and I am going to ask questions e.g what's the opposite of black and the the answer is white x an I am trying to teach someone their left and right thanks xx:worried:

Hi, you'll have links to a few and when you evaluate the activity later you may find it linked to most areas :)

Understanding the world - noticing difference and similarities.

PSED - you'll be encouraging children to contribute ideas & suggestions
Communication & language - you'll all be speaking and listening alongside others
Mathmatical language - big & small, up & down, over & under
Art & design - black and white colours
Physical development - controlling bodies with small movements if sitting through a group activity

Raising awareness of left and right can be ongoing, if you look at the VAK model of learning you'll see how a group activity that relies on speaking alone will support auditory learning, flashcards support visual and an activity like drawing around hands will support kinaesthetic, writing the words left & right onto the drawn image whilst speaking the word aloud/in sign takes all learning styles into account and helps to ensure youngest children are supported - writing falls within the eyfs' literacy area of development

Book to help with handedness - on amazon.co.uk

To support children's individual development the guidance that accompanies your home nations EY's framework will be more specific.

hi sorry lost my password i did it thanks to your help Ruthierhyme and i have a nother question. i am doing an activity with children playing hairdresser and not sure what the /eyfs link is. The children will just be playing with hair and using bobbles and clips
any help
thanks

Hi, PSE , communication & language as children will be socialising with each other, listening, talking and learning about each other. It's also an activity that raises awareness of hair/self care. Have empty bottles with blank labels for children to scribe/write on - shampoo/conditioner/oil - literacy and mirrors to examine self.

Art & design involves the role play that a scenario like this generates.

Hairdressing is an international business and something that we all encounter - long short, curly straight braided, brown blonde grey!, lots and not so much - understanding the world

Books & stories in a waiting area: I love my hair, all kinds of people & what I like about me, yikes lice, my five senses

Brushing and putting bobbles & clips in hair exercises fine & gross motor, & coordinational skills - physical development

By having coloured pots to match & sort, number lines to count & measure, use language such as slowly, fast, big, little, front, top, on, under, through and have other text around you to support maths

Development matters details finer stages linked to children's age
