AnonyMouse_50152 Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Hello So our setting is made up of 3 rooms with the 3 different age ranges. I am reviewing the planning in the toddler room and pre-school room. One thing that we have had issues with is having the space to put down planning for the garden aswell as the 7 areas of learning and sand and water play. Can anyone help by sharing their planning??? Thank you :1b
AnonyMouse_44476 Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 We don't plan separately for outdoors. We have the seven areas of learning with objectives for the week and resources out relating to those objectives. So role play may be outside or sand/ water may be out or in. There may be a specific activity with tallying with chalks on the floor outside - how many cars we see go past etc or there might be an adult led activity indoors. We just make sure we are covering all the areas in or out! 1
AnonyMouse_7120 Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 We don't either, we ensure outdoor resources available cover all areas, and if something on the planning is specifically to happen outdoors we highlight it green.
Guest Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 We don't plan for outside. We have an observation sheet up for outside where we mark things down to use as a basis for things to put out, but there's not specific planning for outside.
AnonyMouse_30128 Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 We have a basic plan that has the days of the week across the top and boxes to fill in daily.....personally i think if you don't plan for the outdoors you are missing a trick!! So on todays for instance dinosaur land (for a little one with limited speech) Sticks in the sand for mark making Planting (adult led...hanging baskets etc) obstacle course...improving gross motor(group of children) Mud kitchen ....chalk for writing menu ...plus a few more ideas etc!!) very basic but means i can target certain childrens learning just as i would inside!
AnonyMouse_21338 Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 We also plan for outside - I'm the kind of person who had to have things written down and organised, or I would walk in Monday mornings and forget about outside totally ! We have a4 paper divvied into 3 sections on the left - Inside activities Outside activities Small group / adult led We try to plan for each aol - but they do overlap sometimes. Then on the right hand side we note which child / children each activity relates to ( if any ) I would put up a copy , but I'm on ipad ATM.
