The Foundation Stage Learning Journal / Profile
Throughout the day, your child will be ‘observed’.
This means that we closely follow your child’s actions, behaviour (and where possible and where appropriate, conversations) to help us to assess what they know and what they can do.
These observations will larg
ely be completed by either your child’s
key worker but there may be times where they are also observed by other members of the EYFS team. So that we can plan the next steps in the children’s learning, some observations are carried out during adult-led activities, where your child will be encouraged to talk about the activity, and some observations will be carried out during child-initiated learning.
Here, we do not always ask questions, as this can interrupt their learning. We often use technology (such as cameras or iPads) to capture a child’s learning and these images/videos are kept in the child’s learning journey online (Tapestry).
We encourage parents/carers to upload any home learning/achievements to share in class. The profile is a working document, which is updated and used to discuss with you at parent consultation evenings. It also forms the basis of your child’s end of year report.
Parents/Carers as Partners
A child’s achievement and happiness is greatly enhanced when the parents and nursery work together in their child’s education. Effective home/ nursery communication is vital in ensuring your child settles into nursery and is content. Parents can help reinforce teacher expectations by:
Helping your child talk about their experiences (by using the Tapestry programme/App as a stimulus)
Appreciating the effort made by your child to produce a painting or model.
Encouraging your child to talk about their learning and successes.
