EYFS continuous provision planning for 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 detailed enhancement planning, highlighting intent, implementation and challenge for all areas of provision for the theme of ‘Around the world - Comparisons of cultures and environments’.

The following texts are utlised -
One Snowy Night
The Jolly Postman
Chinese New Year
Handa’s Surprise
The Polar Bear And The Snow Cloud
Easter Story

Also included in this resource is a ‘Thematic curriculum overview’ and ‘Knowledge organiser’ to summarise the learning that will take place and knowledge that children should retain during the Spring Term.
