Hi all, I am finding it really hard to get my staff to fill in the planning sheets each week on a day to day basis. At the moment they are asked to fill in what activity they have done, who with, where and weather it was child initiated or planned. Has anyone got a good system that they use to help their staff to complete plans and to put in place their children's next steps. Any suggestions are most are most welcome,just want to get this planning sorted once and for all ?

Hi I love using this site so I though I would ask for some advice. I currently work in a reception class and am going for a interview for nursery class. I have chose to do an activity with 5 currant buns where we then go off to our own playdough bakery (i only have 6 children). I just want to make sure I have pitched it at the right level. These are the development matters I have started with. Is this where your nursery aged children are at this time of year or too easy?

Hi, in my setting we are required to support children with phonics twice a week. the children range from 3 to 4ish. i have taken the children on listening walks which they have enjoyed but am a bit confused about where to go next. I would like to do some activities that will not go right over their heads, can you help?

Hi all, am just wondering whether all you clever people have any really good ideas for science investigation/ experiments that are fun and safe for 2 and 3 year olds. Am sure have seen a 'volcano' made with bicarbonate of soda and vinegar which would like to try next week and it's has got me thinking am sure there must be other simple kitchen cupboard science activities. ( Reason I am thinking along these lines is becauseI have been planning for a child who was really into rockets and thought the volcano might be an additional thing of interest as it has a propulsion/gases feel .... plus it's explosive and messy which is always a good thing!
