By the end of EYFS we expect our children at Saint Patrick's to have built up the appropriate skills and knowledge to be able to consistently:

*talk about the lives of their people around them and their roles in society with confidence

and

*know some similarities and differences between things in the past and now, drawing on their experiences and what has been read in class, independently. 

We also expect our children to understand the past through settings, characters and events encountered in books read in class and storytelling.

Take a look at our learning and development throughout EYFS to see the journey

from our earliest starting points to achieving the ELG: 

We learn about where we live and who is in our family. We talk about the types of houses we live in, what colour our front doors are and what number we can see on the front of our door. We also talked about the people we live with and the people in our families.
