Communication & Language
EYFS Statutory Educational Programme:
The development of children’s spoken language underpins all seven areas of learning and development. Children’s back-and-forth interactions from an early age form the foundations for language and cognitive development. The number and quality of the conversations they have with adults and peers throughout the day in a language-rich environment is crucial. By commenting on what children are interested in or doing, and echoing back what they say with new vocabulary added, practitioners will build children’s language effectively.
What's in the Box? The children were encouraged to use their verbal communication skills to describe what they felt inside the box to their peers, who then had to make guesses. They used descriptive words, asked questions and listened carefully to others!
