Physical Development
Moving and handling: children show good control and co-ordination in large and small
movements. They move confidently in a range of ways, safely negotiating space. They handle
equipment and tools effectively, including pencils for writing.
Health and self-care: children know the importance for good health of physical exercise, and a
healthy diet, and talk about ways to keep healthy and safe. They manage their own basic
hygiene and personal needs successfully, including dressing and going to the toilet
independently.
Personal, Social and Emotional Development
Self-confidence and self-awareness: children are confident to try new activities, and say why
they like some activities more than others. They are confident to speak in a familiar group, will
talk about their ideas, and will choose the resources they need for their chosen activities. They
say when they do or don't need help.
Managing feelings and behaviour: children talk about how they and others show feelings, talk
about their own and others' behaviour, and its consequences, and know that some behaviour is
unacceptable. They work as part of a group or class, and understand and follow the rules. They
adjust their behaviour to different situations, and take changes of routine in their stride.
Making relationships: children play co-operatively, taking turns with others. They take account
of one another's ideas about how to organise their activity. They show sensitivity to others'
needs and feelings, and form positive relationships with adults and other children.
Literacy
Reading: children read and understand simple sentences. They use phonic knowledge to
decode regular words and read them aloud accurately. They also read some common irregular
words. They demonstrate understanding when talking with others about what they have read.
Writing: children use their phonic knowledge to write words in ways which match their spoken
sounds. They also write some irregular common words. They write simple sentences which can
be read by themselves and others. Some words are spelt correctly and others are phonetically
plausible.
Mathematics
Numbers: children count reliably with numbers from 1 to 20, place them in order and say which
number is one more or one less than a given number. Using quantities and objects, they add
and subtract two single-digit numbers and count on or back to find the answer. They solve
problems, including doubling, halving and sharing.
Shape, space and measures: children use everyday language to talk about size, weight,
capacity, position, distance, time and money to compare quantities and objects and to solve
problems. They recognise, create and describe patterns. They explore characteristics of
everyday objects and shapes and use mathematical language to describe them.
