Guest Posted October 6, 2005 Posted October 6, 2005 Hi We have just been given some formats for medium term and short term plan templates for a foundation stage unit. Thought they might be useful, let me know. Also if anyone else has any other formats that are successfull I would love to hear about them. Thanks focus_sheet.doc Weekly_Planning_lanscape_final.doc
Guest Posted October 6, 2005 Posted October 6, 2005 I will post medium term plans soon, above are weekly ones!
AnonyMouse_4544 Posted October 7, 2005 Posted October 7, 2005 Hi How do you find the planning format? We have decided to use the weekly planner as a daily planner because we can't get enough detail in. Also we have added extra areas as we seem to have additional workshops. Will be interested to hear your experience using this.
Guest Posted October 8, 2005 Posted October 8, 2005 hi marion we haven't started using it yet as the unit is not up and running. I did suggest to the advisor that we use a daily planner, but she said most places would use the weeky template. When we start using it I'll let you know how it goes.
AnonyMouse_4544 Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 She told us the same (Julia?) but in practice we found it didnt work for us. Good luck with the unit.
Guest Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 Hi Marion Yes Julia gave us a 'free' half day. She also says there is a course to attend in April also 'free'. Do you have your unit set up?
AnonyMouse_4544 Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 We started as a Foundation Stage Unit in September (although previously we were an Early years Unit so not such a big issue to change) Julia is visiting us on Wednesday as a follow up to the half day we had last term. We will be raising practical issues with her then so will keep you posted as to the outcome .We also sent all the staff on a course last school year.
AnonyMouse_4544 Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 Julia visited last week and was very happy with things so far. She has asked if we are willing to share our experiences with other schools and has suggested allowing FS staff to visit and see our set up. (We have already had Sure Start staff visit) Her BIG comment was we are doing TOO MUCH! Both the Nursery teacher and I will be attending the course in April.
