Hello Can you help me Im struggling a bit with when/how during the session to meet the children next steps! Each child has a plan which shows a next step in each area of learning that we plan to cover over the term. We split the children into weeks and focus on X amount of children a week during this week we plan to cover their next steps My question is how you cover their next steps- do you plan to do this in a group time - key person time or ? Can anyone share a planning format that you use? Also do you do a big main focus activity a day for all the children to join in with ( we do and do link some of the next steps into this but not all children …

Hi was wondering if anyone could help? We are having a foundation stage planning meeting next week and need to agree on a format for long, medium and short term planning. Would anybody be kind enough to share theirs?? We would like to have the same planning format in nursery and reception - do you think this is possible?? We feel like at the moment we are including too much in our planning and would like to see what others are doing. Thank you in anticipation for sharing xx

Hi everyone, Happy Easter hols! I am just starting my planning for the first week back. The topic is 'It's Alive' - focussing on animals and plants and growth. The first two weeks I am planning to do the Very Hungry Caterpillar. I am just struggling to think of some really exciting and different and high quality art projects to do with the children. I am in a nursery setting and have a big display wall to cover so something that could go up there would be fab. I was thinking it would be nice to have a project that they could add to and develop over a few days as well. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi,looking for some feedback on what other settings do regarding registration. I understand children shouldnt be sat for a extended period, but what I am struggling with is a missed learning opportunity such as getting ready for school, counting opportunities, weather board,sharing news, and what is on offer for the day,visitors etc. I am due to lead a new setting opening next week and its such a dilema! I am thinking if the children arrive, self register and play for 15 mins and then come together in a group for register time , is that such a bad thing?

Hi! With regards creative activities we always try to avoid going down the 'Fluffy Duck Syndrome' route and give children lots of different options to be creative with a good range of materials but I'm getting a bit confused as to what is right and wrong to 'teach' the children? For example, is it wrong to show children how they might draw a person or demonstrate how they could make a flower using petal shape pieces of card (not pre-cut for them - showing them how to cut them out etc)? I have done some reading into the development of drawing and 'Fluffy Duck Syndrome' but am started to be worried about showing the children how to draw or make things in case I'm ruining t…

Hi everyone, I have to bring my ideas to a planning meeting tomorrow about the topic for next half term which is going to be called either Houses and Homes or Where We Live. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about any good books or interesting role play areas (already had a home corner) that I could use? I feel stumped for ideas! It can be quite a broad topic so I was thinking of beginning to look at where the children live then looking at the rest of England (including animal homes) and then maybe looking at the rest of the world? Any ideas would be most appreciated! x
