I have a lot of part time staff who are all trying to understand free flow play and new planning to work alongside this. Can anyone tell me 1 How do you decide what children your observing each day/ week or do you observe as and when they come to an activity? 2 Planning for individual children how do you plan for the children who need their learning extended, we have 2 children who are particularly bright, we used to have special time with them, now with free flow play we dont get time? 3.

I am in the process of reviewing our foundation stage policy and am considering rewriting it in light of Every Child Matters, maybe under each of the section headings. Has anyone already done this and does it work? Would be grateful for your input. Michaelle

Hello everyone, My head was meant to be observing me a wk on monday. All teachers are observed termly. On friday she came to change the observation date to this monday. The focus is 'stimulus through writing' (as it was last time) and my topic is frogs.

Now I'm thinking of looking at a descriptive frog poem and then a real frog (my TA has a pond and all will be frog friendly), getting the children to use words to decribe the frog through observation and talk then recording in some way as a group activity. Then I wou…

I requested a visit from someone from surestart for some support re planning etc. She announced that we ought to be doing free flow play! Help, I think I have the drift of this however she says we dont need so much planning just one focused activity a week and we ought to be concentrating on the children leading the play observing them and not planning activities. Then off she went! We have tried it this week ......... The whole staff team after working very hard to get our planning right are feeling confused and very disorientated. I dont t…
