Our continues provision planning sheet consists of all the areas e.g. mark making, construction etc and then split into the days of the week. but throughout the session the children have access to all the different equipment through the use of trolleys with the different area of toys in. so I don’t understand why we are spending a lot of time in our planning session writing down what toys/equipment to put out in what area, as the children come in and get whatever toys out they want to play with anyway.

Hi all Am looking at either producing a tracking progress document or using an already done template. Does anyone have any info on any they use or could supply a template as a starter. I know I want to track each child under the headings which would highlight developing, emerging, secure and then at the end of each term highlight areas to work on. Would also like to use it to highlight any setting shortfalls in areas of learning. Looking forward to replies

Following advice from our EY Consultant at a recent training event I am planning to produce a handbook for Parents and Carers to explain to them the reason why we observe and assess their children, and just wondered if anyone else had one in place that I could browse through for ideas on where to start. I will share my finished document for others to use once I (hopefully) manage to produce it! Thanks in advance for any help. :rolleyes:

Dinosaurs

Please can anyone help? I am doing a topic of 'dinosaurs' this half-term and in my newsletter I like to give reasons for/learning that may come from the topic. This is a new topic for me, so the first time I have needed to write a 'blurb'. My thoughts are not coming together on this (possibly after a head injury at work last week - whilst checking the safety of the playground prior to outdoor play! ), so any help would be very much appreciated!

Just wondering, if you have new children starting after Easter and you know they will be with you for the next 18 months, which framework would you base your observations around? Just wondering about their folders really.
