What will children learn at Foundation Stage 2?
Throughout the Reception/FS2 year, practitioners will observe and assess each child in order to understand any progress and/or needs. Ongoing assessment (also known as formative assessment) takes place throughout the year and informs practitioners of a child’s level of achievement and interests. These assessments are then used to shape teaching and learning experiences for each child. At the end of FS2, teachers will assess children’s attainment in line with the Early Learning Goals. Using observational evidence gathered over the course of the year, these assessments will help inform the children’s next teacher of their starting points. The EYFS framework allows a natural progression into the National Curriculum at the beginning of Year One.
