The DfE is also seeking views on the principles that should underpin a revised Early Years Register fee model to be introduced from April 2021. The consultation is available here [ [link removed] ] and will run for 12 weeks from 18 July to 9 October 2019.

Mathshub - Metacognition in the Early Years

The Mathshub East Midlands West is delighted to announce details of their *Metacognition in the Early Years *work group for 2019/20. Metacognitive strategies are well aligned with the EYFS characteristics of effective learning, which suggests that metacognition could support children in early years to learn effectively, including in early years maths. The intention of this work group is to develop practitioners practice to more effectively support childrens metacognition in early maths.

This work group is *suitable for all early years practitioners *(those school-based and in PVI settings including mixed age classes/settings with some children in the EYFS age range*).They are looking to work with between 10 15 settings, 1 person per setting only.*
