Hi, welcome to the site.
Communication & Language is a prime area of
EYFS (link to gov.uk) where literacy is one of the specific areas. The variety of activities that your setting provides, enables a holistic approach to children's development & learning meaning we're able to offer opportunities that support more than one area of development and learning at a time which shows how the areas are interconnected.
The examples you include for each of them will depend on the activities that your setting plans and puts out.
When you look at the
outcomes are for Communication and Language you can see that activities support children's: listening, attention, their understanding and speaking:
Physical development - As children are playing and developing physically with eg.
ride on toys and pushalongs or using a
climbing frame it also means communication and language is being supported by for example, adults sharing instructions and rules for using the toys safely. Children listen and understand what is being shown and said and go on the talk about this with others - how is a climbing frame used to support communication and language in your setting?
Personal social and emotional development: activities might include
snack/meal times, hand washing or a
time of conflict where a child is helped in managing their behaviour by for example, being given time to talk about what happened and their feelings? or maybe your setting has show-and-tell activities where a child's self-confidence is supported when everyone smiles and claps to communicate their praise?
Mathematics: eg.
Sorting and matching activities support communication and language by enabling a child to talk about quantity, shape, size, weight as they add and take away items. Do they pay attention to the objects and notice similarities between them so that they can sort them into groups?
Understanding of the world: What communication and language might take place during for example a
trip to the park, a nature hunt, celebrating an event such as the arrival of spring or Easter?
Expressive arts and design: Does your setting have an easel area, paint, playdough, crayons, pencils, chalk are resources children learn the names of as they describe texture, colour and talk about the meaning of their art and design.
Literacy - reading and writing. Think about the text, letters, numbers, labels and signs that are on display in your setting and the opportunities children have to look at them, replicate them through writing and sounding out.
Physical development - activities that help children develop their fine motor skills and exercise the smaller muscles in their hands and eyes include gripping pencils, using scissors. Literacy is supported when words and mark making resources are included. What opportunities do the children have to hold paintbrushes, crayons, use scissors and to learn about the shape of letters and numbers?
Personal social and emotional development: Does your setting put name tags on coat pegs? So that children can collect their own belongings, dress themselves and learn the letters/sound of their name?
Mathematics: what number and measuring activities does your setting have that enables children to read and write/mark make?
Understand of the world: Nature table, book corner - what mark text/signs are their to expalin these areas?
Expressive arts and design: What ativity bas your setting offered that enables children to be creative with mark-making tools, see the words that describe texture and colour?
You can find more reading on the interconnectivity of learning and development in the
level 2 handbook, available on amazon.
Hope this helps a little.
