Topic planning?

Guest · 2013-11-25T07:40:18+0000

Hi all, I have recently changed our planning format to include child initiated play - one adult caries out an adult directed activity, one supports and engages in 'rolling snack' and the other observes and engages in child initiated play (possibly looking at ways to extend play if appropriate). We plan through half termly topics (we are currently doing 'toys') and I am finding this limiting - well in fact I am thinking less and less about the topic... I still often base our end of session carpet time on the topic and have set up a toy shop etc but increasingly I want to think less about the topic and more about what the children are doing on a daily basis. Now I know ultimately this is good practice but I wondered what inspiration (other than a half termly topic) people are using and also how they document this - most especially in term of medium and short term planning...I have really enjoyed topic based learning in the past (and so have the children) but I am pretty certain that this was because it was part of a more rigid and constrictive approach and therefore provided clear guidelines for activities etc.- now that i am motivated by a more holistic approach to children's learning and also developing the natural outdoor learning environment 'topic learning' seems to have less of a place! Does anyone else feel like this? Does anyone have any planning they would be happy to share? Am I slowly going round the bend?!? Thoughts/ideas/criticisms all very very welcome! Thank you x
