Guest Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I also have a long term plan, which shows any visits and loose topics such as staying healthy, people who help us etc. The long term plan shows how we plan to cover the aspects within each area of learning, this is to ensure that we offer a balanced curriculumn and equal weight is given to each aspect. Our short term planning (weekly) on one page shows each area of learning and the aspect being covered, we then select Dev matters learning intentions for each aspect according to our observations of children's interests, next steps etc. Our continous provision planning is on a seperate sheet and shows what enhancements we are putting out etc Hope this helps. Here is a blank short term plan that we use short_term_planning.docx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest babyjane31 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Have attached our daily plan, we also have a very lose long term plan with key visits, celebrations and themes for the yearas well as continuous provisons sheets for all resources, our medium plan is the children's next steps which each key person completes half termly. we meet weekly to complete our planning where we link next steps, and interests from observations to come up with our daily plan, sometimes there is a theme for the week sometimes not. All the blanks on the daily plan are free choice areas for the children or for new activities if interests change or an activity takes us off in another direction and are completed retrospectivelydaily_plan.docx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Is this planning for groups of children, all the children or individuals ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest babyjane31 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Hi Suer, our plans are for the group but includes individual plans for specific children as determined by key person it normally works out that what a keyworker identifies as relevant for one child is often relevant to a small group. We try and make our plans as individual as possible but feel we do need a whole plan for the setting with 25 children in each session twice daily I haven't found another ways that works for us.

Guest Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 We do not plan for the whole group key staff plan individually for their children For us we feel that we do not get the best out of our cihldren if they are made to do something that they are not interested in. We have 24 - 26 children and each key person has between 6 and 8 children Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
