A PDF to help you set sail on a learning adventure. This comprehensive EYFS planning ideas pack is focused on the theme of Boats—part of a wider Transport topic. Carefully designed to support the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum, this resource offers a week’s worth of cross-curricular enhanced provision ideas to engage and inspire young learners through imaginative, hands-on play.
Inside you’ll find:
Book recommendations to enrich storytelling and literacy development.
Literacy, Maths, Fine Motor, and Gross Motor activities with a nautical twist.
Understanding of the World explorations like floating and sinking experiments.
Creative arts and tuff tray suggestions that bring the ocean world to life.
Role play setups to spark imagination—from beachside shops to pirate ships.
Each activity encourages child-led learning, and supports key EYFS outcomes including communication and language, physical development, expressive arts and design, and mathematical thinking.
