A summary of EYFS profile points which can be used to track the progress of individual child. One summary sheet for nursery (from 22-36 months +) and one for Reception (30-50 months +)

An assessment tracking sheet that can be used to record individual progress.

Now revised to include Expected! I made this tracking grid for our EYFS, with a view to highlighting it in four colours (baseline + terms) to demonstrate progression. I have included SOME, MOST and ALL within each ELG as this enables progress to be demonstrated to parents, even when children have not moved up to the next age band.

A one page Reading Record for Reception aged pupils, featuring the ‘Development Matters’ reading statements for 30-50 months, 40-60 months and the Early Learning Goal. There is space for teacher comments and logging the dates and books read each week. In my Reception class we have a reading folder for the whole class. Every child gets one of these sheets either half-termly or termly, to document their progression and to support assessment. Practitioners write comments by the side and date when steps are achieved. Having the Development Matters statements easily to hand helps prompt practitioners to further children’s learning and plan for their ‘next steps’.

Please let me know what you think of the grid. I have separated ELGs as I would want to use them. Type very small but I will enlarge to A3 which makes it more readable.

Ongoing tracking document to use for EYFS - 40 - 60 months - Reception. Covers all seven areas of learning.

A data tracking system for EYFS which details and tracks children’s level of development typical of their age. A child is placed into the term of their birth (Autumn, Spring, Summer) and progress is recorded in accordance with this. This ensures progress is detailed and precise. This system is recognised by ofsted as shows clear detailed progress. On the individual tracking sheet I have created three examples for illustration and to help with understanding how it works. The second sheet records the whole class as a percentage. Hope these are useful in tracking your children's progress.

This might be useful in this format as it gives equal space for dating evidence. I have separated ELGs as I would want to use them. Let me know what you think and compare to my other grid. I will enlarge to A3 for each child as type is very small.

This tracking sheet helps to monitor the progress and gives a one page overview of where the child is.

A fully formulated spreadsheet for tracking progress towards the new UK EYFS (2021) standards for ‘Children in Reception’. Enter class names on the ‘register’ sheet and it will populate student names across all other sheets, automatically calculate age in years and months when date of birth is entered (dd/mm/yyyy). As each data for each standard is entered (either beginning, developing or secure) a percentage for each child is calculated for the area of learning (percentage ‘beginning’ percentage ‘developing’, percentage ‘secure’). In addition, an overall percentage is calculated for the class for that area of learning. Finally, on the ‘register’ sheet, a percentage is calculated for each child across the EYFS (percentage ‘beginning’ percentage ‘developing’, percentage ‘secure’) as well as an overall percentage for the class across the EYFS.

For this activity you need animal toys (monkey, camel, frog, giraffe and elephant) and paint. Dip the animal’s feet in the paint and stamp on the paper. Children need to identify which footprint belongs to which animal and then follow the track. There is also an opportunity for the children to have a discussion about the differences between the footprints and what they look like. Example: A monkey’s footprint looks like our hand print, and elephant’s footprint is round like a circle…etc.

Early Years Foundation Stage. This planning sheet allows the teacher to track whether the children have completed all the tasks expected of them during the period planned for. There are spaces for around 6 children.

A set of checkpoint descriptors (Baseline/Christmas/Easter/EOY/GD) for all areas of learning. Use these as an aid to decide if a child is on/off track to reach ELG at assessment points throughout the year. These are designed to be in line with the revised curriculum (starting Sept 2021) and to be particularly supportive to ECTs and staff new to EYFS. They are not intended to be used as ticklists but as a general guide to support practitioners in knowing whether a child is broadly in line with reaching the ELG at the end of the year.

I have made this simple tracking grid, to see at a glance which evidence I need to collect for individual children for their profile (learning journal) book. Collect pieces of evidence and tick it them off on the grid. I use one grid per term to make sure that each child will have at least one piece of evidence in their learning journals.

I came up with these grids after attending a course. It has the 30-50 and 40-60 month statements from development matters and the Early Learning Goals. They can be used similarly to the App grids and 'best fit' judgement made. Please comment if dowloading as would appreciate feedback.

EYFS/KS1 Identify the footprints and tracks worksheet. Set of eight images for pupils to identify with an identification box at the bottom of the worksheet for pupil spelling support. Useful to use for seasonal topics, weather, Christmas, snow, animals and transport .

I have put together a document that allows me to track my pupils progress over the academic year. It includes the 22-36, 30-50, 30-60+ months, ELG and Exceeding descriptors.

Everything you need: script, cast lists, sheet music, backing tracks and full audios, to put on a refreshingly different Christmas Nativity Play. Nativity Train on Track for Christmas is an original take on the Nativity story for EYFS and KS1 where we join the children on a train journey from one Nativity Station to the other. We visit Nazareth, The Roman Barracks, Feather Stone Farm (where the Donkey is having a little holiday from the busy town), Busy Bethlehem, Super Star Mountain, The Special Stable and Shepherd Mountain. The script is very simple with nine Station Masters setting the different scenes and there are all the usual suspects you would find in a traditional Nativity Story. The songs are catchy, easy to learn and humorous where appropriate including opportunities for solo singing but there are plenty of choruses for the whole cast to join in with and perform actions to as well. The parents and staff at St Joseph's School in Hertford and Sacred Heart in Ware thoroughly enjoyed this show and I hope you will too.
