Guest Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Hi I am in the process of developing a planning sheet for outdoor. I would be looking to cover each area of learning. As a team, we would then evaluate the intersets of the children (weekly) to see what should be added as enhancements, dropped or developed new each coming week. Does anyone have such a planning sheet they could share? I have tried opening Alistairs on "ABC Does", but will not open for me. Thanks
AnonyMouse_8466 Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 What does your planning for indoors look like, Moorgate? I'm curious as to why you should need a different sheet/method for outdoors?
Guest Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Hi Maz The resources that we have for outdoors are and may be very different. For example, wheeles toys, climbing equipment, mark making on a large scale etc... Also opportunities outdoor can be linked to the environment and natural changes. Different weather conditions that can't be experienced in a classroom can offer a great wealth of rich learning outcomes. I think we need something written down that reflects that.
AnonyMouse_6716 Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Not sure if this what you after but it's quite an interesting thing to look at to get your brain thinking along outdoor lines! Click on the link http://birthtofive.org.uk/earlyyearsfounda...tmaterials.aspx and click "Suggested Provision for the Outdoor area" Gives some ideas of zones you can offer your provision through, not sure if this any help! : )
AnonyMouse_6716 Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Could you then just do a table with each area/zone in and just fill in what you have offered each day maybe with an adjoining box to put areas of L&D you feel you have covered and then another box to record any interests/ themes which were apparent in the children's play, and how you did enhance - or plan to enhance - that learning zone in the light of what you have observed????

I must have been having a senior moment!
