Planning for Learning through: Celebrations and Festivals is the latest title in a popular and established series which aims to make planning in the Early Years Foundation Stage practical, easy and cost-effective. There are six weeks of planning around six different themes. Each theme includes two activities linked to the areas of learning to develop children’s skills across the Curriculum.

The themes cover:
Celebrating diversity
Special food and clothes
Card, lights and decorations

The activities are designed to develop literacy, numeracy, communication and physical skills and can be
adapted to suit individual settings/children’s backgrounds.
