:oCould anyone please let me know how they are getting on using photos as evidence in observations, and have you got any examples of the forms you use with them? I have made up an adult-ld activity sheet which we are currently using with the photos. I am happy to share these if anyone interested. Thanks Angie

Hi Well looking at doing a couple of these tomorrow but need a little help on how to do them. Have done an Oxford Target child one but not sure of format of unstructured narrtive. Is it for just a few minutes a couple of times during the sesion...do you pick and choose the time, or set the time eg at 9.30, 10.30, etc Do you just note everything and anything and for how long? Quite tiring? Hand writing wise! Any guidance please! Thanks

Hello all, This is my first post here but I have been browsing for a while. You guys are very experienced and your advice has been very helpful. Your advice would be enormously welcomed to me on an issue... I am a newly appointed children centre teacher and I had been discussing a child with our health visitor. She is basically in a plaster on her legs and can't move much. She has asked my help to provide some activities for her parents to keep her busy at home. I have a few ideas but would love to hear your views and buil;d a larger bank of activities. She is 2 .5 and in leg plasters. Please help!!! Many thanks in advance.

We are finding that they are really needing , for want of another way to say it , an academic challenge.

I am not suggesting worksheets and formal…

Or do you find yourself jotting things down on post it notes and scraps of paper?

Reason why im asking this...its all part of my diploma in pre-school practice. All these methods are the ones recommended to observe children and my first assignment has me completing 4 diff ones on the same child. Having been in touch with m…

Hi Everybody, I think this might be the first topic I have started so here goes... We follow the Letters and Sounds in my nursery setting and all the advice and training I have received on the subject says to leave Aspect 7 until the Summer Term and then only use it with the children who are going to school and are ready. I have several children in my key group who are more than ready for Aspect 7, they have been hearing the initial sounds of words for ages and are now starting to express an interest in sounding out other words and today, bless them asked me what comes after 'e-l-f-a' in 'elephant'! ( I was thinking we will start with 'c-a-t' 'd-o-g' etc, ambtious…
