We have split the EYFS up over the 6 terms to ensure that we cover it over the year. For instance this term we are looking at:
PSE - Behaviour and Self Control
CLL - Reading
PSRN - Numbers as Labels and for Counting
KUW - Exploration and Investigation
PD - Movement and Space
CD - Responding to experiences, expressing and communicating ideas
We then do 2 focus activities each week to cover the above. We also do incidental observations on routine activities.
We still have topics but the children inform us of what they are interested in by bringing in things.
For instance last 2 weeks we were looking at winter. Some of the things that came in gave us the following: Gloves (winter clothes sorting activity), Cuddly polar bear (arctic animals and books in the builders tray), compass (direction games, maps), farm book & tractor & trailer (what do farmers do in the winter and describe it (letters and sounds activity with farm animals)).
We have a long term plan which shows how the aspects of the EYFS that we will focus on each term. It also shows festivals that our families take part in that we will support at Playgroup. It also has visits and visitors on and when our learning journeys and reports will go out.
Hope this helps
