Hello - Im a Nursery teacher and I'm confused! This year we have been planning for phase one of the letters and sounds document. I really love the activities and feel that the children respond really well. This time last year I started Jolly Phonics with the children but now feel confused as to whether to do the same? I suppose I'm wondering what other Nursery teachers do? Our recpetion use Jolly Phonics but I'm not sure whether I need to?

My question is have you got any good ideas for extending their learning etc because if I'm honest, I have never watched Star Wars. I'm not a fan of sci-fi in general and could really do with your help! Today 3 of the boys (4 year olds) sat down and tried to explain to me what happens in the film, who the characters are etc and it was really fruitful!

Non Topic, And Child Led Planning
by Guest- 6 replies

Hi we have been doing non topic and child led plabnning for about 6 months now, but i am worried that we are not keeping enough written observations/notes as to why/how we carry out an activity. i am rather worried that our pre-school planning in particular does not neccessarily clearly show how the children are meeting the early learning goals. does anyone do non topic planning and have any planning sheets that i could possibly look at, i never seem to be able to get this planning right, and with an inpending ofsted inspection its definatly top of that 'to do' list. thanks Dawn
