Standardised Objectives |
EYFS | Computing is not explicitly mentioned in the EYFS statutory framework, but we do offer opportunities for children to use technologies, e.g. sound buttons for recording their own voices, Bee-bots, interactive screens. Personal, social and emotional development supports children in learning how to express themselves, enabling them to talk about things that worry them. |
