Event details
Young children are natural scientists and we need to foster their sense of curiosity by providing them with interesting and exciting science lessons that engage and stimulate a sense of wonder.
This course aims to provide ideas and activities that can be used in the early years setting to develop the "Understanding of the World" area of the foundation stage curriculum. It will be a hands-on session with plenty of practical advice for delivering a rich yearly years provision.
Following the course participants will be able to:
- understand the changes to the EYFS curriculum for science; know how to gather manageable evidence for the assessment of EYFS children
- provide stimulating and exciting activities to cover the science element of early years provision
