I have been on a course today about planning and was wondering if anyone out there could enlighten me as to what is really expected of us and how you plan.? our long term plan consists of our topics, any special event or visits and also the aspects we intend to cover. ( we know which aspects as we brain stormed the topics and used some of the ideas to use as our adult led activities) medium term is our adult led activities for the half term short term consits of our daily session plans along with the activity plans. What do you think?

I would be grateful to anyone who can explain it to me!! Thanks, Clare

Hi everyone, Have just received another letter from Kent county council re: funded term dates for next year.
