Year One in Action

Offering a unique month-by-month overview of a Year 1 class as it progresses through the year, this book shows how early years practitioners can develop a smooth transition for children moving from reception to year 1. Each chapter covers the organisation of the classroom and the rationale behind this, and tracks the events of each month, paying particular attention to the environment, the role of the adult and the key areas of learning and development. The book shows how practitioners of child-led learning in an enabling environment can lead to outstanding progress through a year 1 curriculum.
