Continuous provision enhancement ideas for the whole of Spring Term

There are many benefits to using a thematic approach in EYFS. One of the main benefits is that it can help children develop a deeper understanding of a particular topic. By exploring a theme in depth, children are able to connect the different pieces of information they learn, which can help them remember and apply what they have learned.

Books are a rich starting point for learning in an early years setting. They provide an exciting way into worlds children could not otherwise visit. A well chosen book can be an excellent catalyst for all sorts of learning experiences. This resource includes enhancement ideas for all areas of provision for the theme of ‘Around the world’ (Comparisons of cultures and environments) utilising the following texts -
One snowy night
The jolly postman
Chinese zodiac
Handa’s surprise
Polar bear and the snow cloud
Easter story
