Almost new! Mark
Making Matters - from the DCSF: 'An analysis of recent
Foundation Stage Profile (EYFSP) results reveals that while children
are generally making good progress across the 13 scales of learning
and development, achievements are consistently lower in the scales
of Writing (particularly for boys), and Calculation. This could
undermine their future progress, particularly in the transition from
the EYFS to Key Stage 1.
The booklet also explores how an improved understanding of the
importance of mark making can strengthen provision for CLL and PSRN.
It will illustrate how children's confidence in themselves as
writers and as mathematical thinkers, can be promoted through the
introduction of children’s mathematical graphics.
Children learn from everything they do, but their development
depends, in part, on the quality and range of experiences they have
received both in the environment of their setting and at home. Some
children have had opportunities to experiment with mark making from
their earliest years, while others have had limited experiences for
a variety of reasons.' DCSF: The Standards Site (October,
2008).

Training Resource Bank (ttrb):
Play and Learning in Early Education - NEW EVIDENCE On
Wednesday 12th November an event was held in the Jubilee Room of the
House of Commons organised by
TACTYC
(Training, Advancement and Co-operation in Teaching Young Children)
and the Vicky Hurst Trust, and hosted by Annette Brook MP. The
purpose was to share new evidence concerning play and early
education which, as the invitation stated, is "an important
aspect of children's lives which must feature substantially in the
development of policy and practice" (includes Maulfry’s current
research on imaginative play).
