AnonyMouse_4562 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Hi, What does your planning look like at this time of year? Mine is consists of little key group activities and lots of 'reinforcement of routine' type on-going adult interaction prompts. Not many enhancements so far as still very much getting to know children, keeping resources minimal while children get use to the choice on offer (in some cases, I've further reduced the choice!)? Does that sound similar to yours? Green Hippo x 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_14268 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Totally!!! Good to know someone else out there is doing the same. :1b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Yes similar!!! Lots of work going on around the routines and I feel like I have spent half of the week so far in the bathroom. . . . . . Got a young lady who needs a prompt to use the toilet (according to Mum) but uless someone actually has an eye on her she goes into the bathroom and shuts the toilet stall door and then just stands there!!!! I think I forget how far our children come in a year and with mainly new starters this September its hard work!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I think I forget how far our children come in a year and with mainly new starters this September its hard work!!!!!!! tell me about it!!!!!!!!!!!!! omg is all i can say!!!!!!!!!!! ours is as you green hippo, plus lots of supporting behaviour. quite an interesting bunch....... one boy refused to sit with other children at the end of the session and adult had to sit with him on carpet and hold his jumper to stop him running off whilst class being dismissed. as we are not allowed to restrain children except in exceptional circumstances it was hard. when we try to hold his hand to move him he screams and says no and pulls away from us. have asked mum to come 10 minutes early and take him until he is able to sit with rest and she was overheard telling her friend we were moaning about him - i clearly said it was for his safety and the safety of the other children. flippin nora!!

Please can anyone share some examples of how they do their planning.....i would really appreciate it x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I still struggle with how to involve all staff in the planning when we work full time 8am-6.30pm? Any top tips or ideas on how others fit it all in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
