The Early Years Foundation Stage is a period of education from 0 – 5 years. In Foundation classes the children learn skills, needed to become

understanding that every child is unique. The children are introduced to new ideas and further thinking through the seven Areas of Learning and
Development: The first three are known as the Prime Areas (Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Communication and Language and
Physical Development) and develop quickly in response to relationships and experiences. This support and scaffold the four Specific Areas (Literacy,
Mathematics, Understanding the World and Expressive Arts and Design) which include essential skills and knowledge to ensure that children have
the best possible start to their learning journey. These skills, experiences and learning opportunities are presented to the children through
meaningful play contexts and adult led activities which ensure that each child has the opportunity to play and explore in an active and engaging
environment that allows them to be creative, think critically and take risks to achieve more.
Early Years Daily Segments: These are some routine segments of the day. Some segments are compulsory, and some are
discretionary. Teachers may choose 2 or 3 daily from discretionary segments as per the available time. However, compulsory needs to be
planned every day such as circle time, snack time, outdoor play and story time. Class Teachers need to plan all the segments with time slots.
Class teachers will plan segments only for their own time. Subject teachers’ time will not be utilized for segments given below, will come
according to their time.

Garden Exploration:
If there is a kitchen garden in your school send the students in
groups and ask each group to go out into the garden and collect two
items that are edible and two items that are non-edible. Bring the
objects back into the classroom and sort them by edible and non-

water transport and land transport (e.g. traffic police and
citizens). Set up an outdoor activity in which children will make a
huge rocket/bus using big cartons and decorate it with paints and
newspapers.
I'm going on a trip and I'm packing... Begin the game by saying,
"I'm going on a trip by..." (Airplane). The game continues with a
child saying, "I'm going on a trip by airplane and by train." Each
child adds up any other means of transportation.

Show children different toy models of vehicles and pictures of
cloud, ground and water. Lay these across the floor. Place the
vehicles on the appropriate pictures. Show them by placing a car
on the ground picture, an airplane on the cloud picture and a boat
on the ocean picture.

vehicle.
Ramp activity: Set the ramp at an angle with the top resting on
a chair and the bottom on the floor. Send various vehicles down
and observe results.
On a large piece of chart paper make three columns label it
‘ground’, ‘air’ and ‘water’. Then with the class sort the kinds of
transportation from the book and list into the correct columns.
After you have finished sorting, give each student a piece of paper
to draw and colour their favourite kind of transportation. If you
want to make it a class book, have a prompt to at the bottom of
the page – "I want to go on a ___________." Let the students fill
in their answer and then draw the picture.
Practice task:
Cars and Trucks Sorting:
Let children cut cars and truck pictures out of magazines. On a
table add masking tape to divide the table in half. Write the words
"Cars" and "Trucks" on index cards and place them on top of each
column. Invite children to sort the pictures and place them in the
appropriate places.

"drive" the vehicles on the chalk roadways.
Vehicle Colour Graphing:
Take your learner to a place where you and your learner can safely
observe vehicles, such as a parking lot. Ask him/her to tell you the
colours of the different vehicles found there. List the colours as
he/she lists them. Then help your child make a graph showing
how many vehicles of each colour were counted. Have your child
tell you which colours were the least and most common. Ask your
child if he/she can name any colours that were not found.

How Many? Numbers Activity Show children a large picture of a
car (preferably with all four wheels showing). Ask children to
describe the car. Next, ask children how many wheels the car has?
Ask them to hold up that many fingers (4). Write the word
"wheels" and the number 4 on the board. Next, ask how many
lights, steering wheels, doors, and tires are on the car. Write the
words and numbers on the board. Show a truck picture and

Activity 2:
Playing Subtraction Lego:
Play this game with a small group of students, as the object of
the game is to see who can lose all of their bricks first!
First, stack up your tower. Then, roll the dice.

Take off that number of bricks, and then count how many you
have left. While playing this game with learners use math
language. For example: “I had 10 bricks, I took off 2, and now
I have 8.”
It’s better to have them write equations for each roll to
extend the learning!
Keep rolling and removing bricks until there are none left. The
first person to unstack them all is the winner!
Play again, or increase the number for a longer game!

‘Naming game’ will be played with Naming Words:

introduce the concepts of names. cbu26sBLQ
They will be told as we all have
names, everything else also has
names. Children will be encouraged
to name more naming words.
Children will be divided into two
groups. Each group will be given a
trigger like a park, zoo, school,
home etc. The group has to name as
many things from the given place.
The group which will name more
things will be considered as a
winner group.
Now the children will be explained
that everything around us has a
name. It will further be clarified
through a video session.
Naming Words-Noun.
Children will colour nouns on the
given cutouts.
Assessment for Learning:
Children will be assessed through thumbs
up/down on their abilities and their
performance to:

between visible and invisible?
After the starter activity teacher will uplift the
curiosity of learners by asking what they think
is happening in this particular reader
Methodology
Steps of main lesson are as follows:
Step 1: After the implementation of the starter
activity the steps of shared reading will be
followed on. Teacher will read the reader by
attaining the children’s attention through
raising the voice pitch and suitable tone.
Children will be encouraged to predict the
pictures of the reader. Teacher will mark post
aids on few pages to build their curiosity by
asking what they think is happening on the next
page. This will be lead by a model reading
session. After the model reading learners will
be asked about the story of the reader in their
own words to assess their comprehension
skills. The story of the reader will also be linked
to the practical life e.g.; children helping mom
and dad in moving to a new place? Why a big
car or truck is needed when we move from one
home to another etc.? The next step will be a
mechanical reading session. Children will be
encouraged to read aloud.
Step 2: Learners will be asked to enact the
story. They’ll be asked closed ended and open
ended question as a story character.

Step 3: Learners will be encouraged to read the
flashcards of tricky words through sound talk.
Reading of sight words will be practiced too.
Step 4: Students to make their own story
booklets by drawing the pictures of read story.
