AnonyMouse_3139 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 We had a network meeting today about LJs. Although these are for the end of Recpetion, our Advisor thought they 'd be useful for us to see. I really likes the simplicity of them, ours are horrendous! https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/eyfs-profile-exemplication-materials 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 thanks for this Rea; nice to see the 'expectation' of LJ's - we are getting bogged down in ours too, lovely as they are but we need to review and claw our lives back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_42152 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 That was very helpful. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_3139 Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 I'll post the notes I made during the session. Basically, an LJ isn't a diary so much as an aid to planning and a record of development. Ours are random and time consuming so i'm hoping this will help us to focus again.

AnonyMouse_3139 Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 It'd help if I attached them wouldnt it? Hope they're helpful, I typed on my phone as I listened! :rolleyes: Learning Journeys.docx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_33773 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) We just don't do them. Very careful tracking based on two key persons sharing observations and reflections (own system) and photos on USB sticks or CDs at the end of term. No writing or gluing for us.

AnonyMouse_3139 Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 I'd like to tapestry but we don't have internet access, one staff hasn't got a pc and another can't do much. Besides which, not all our families have computer access so we've got to stick to paper and glue. One nursery at the meeting spend £5000 yearly on ink!! We're all trying to find ways to reduce costs but that is madness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're all trying to find ways to reduce costs but that is madness jeees! I thought £1000 on ink a year was bad - dispalys and Lj's Wildflowers, I like your thinking as we still want our LJ's to be a keepsake/scrapbook type document (more so than evidence gathering - we do that elsewhere) can I ask how do you get round group photos on your disc - or do parents not mind (I guess they could photograph the pics in the book and upload!) - I might be over thinking safeguarding this!

Guest Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 notes are great Rea - thanks for sharing those too :-) It's the monitoring spelling grammar etc that's causing me nightmares as it all funnels through me and my EYP - which would be lovely if that's all we had to do - hence the need for us to cut back/streamline!
