Early Learning Goals: Understanding the World
ELG: Past and Present
Children at the expected level of development will:
- Know some similarities and differences between things in the past and now, drawing on their experiences and what has been read in class.
See Statutory framework for the early years foundation stage, 2021.
Support and challenge
Adults can use the opportunity to discuss and/or support with:
- Using audio playback devices so that children can listen to the instructions and know how to complete the activity (audio playback devices allow practitioners or children to record a message and listen to it back with just the click of a button).
- Encouraging the children to give more than one reason why they think a photograph is from the past or present and use time vocabulary confidently (a long time ago, then, now, in the past, etc.).
