AnonyMouse_5970 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Do you make links or reference to the Characteristics on your written plans? At the moment, we have plenty of reference to them in obs and assessments but nothing on our planning. Just wondered what others do...
AnonyMouse_7120 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 We don't , we plan next step activity in a way that we think will appeal to their way of learning, put don't put this on plan as they may not choose to use it that way at all.....and not only that it wouldn't fit on my A4 sheet ;-p 2
AnonyMouse_5970 Posted August 31, 2014 Author Posted August 31, 2014 and not only that it wouldn't fit on my A4 sheet ;-p Exactly my thinking...but wanted to show it somehow, somewhere! :1b :huh:
AnonyMouse_8282 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Yes... and can we 'not' be asking this on the last days of the holidays please.. :lol: :lol: mutters to self 'do I need to rethink the new planning sheets I made at the beginning of hols??
AnonyMouse_5970 Posted August 31, 2014 Author Posted August 31, 2014 Yes... and can we 'not' be asking this on the last days of the holidays please.. :lol: :lol: I know, I know... we don't close over the summer, but for some reason I've gone into panic mode today! :huh: :blink:
Guest Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Yes, we have a box on our adult led activity time planning with the abbreviation of each CoEL on and we circle whichever the activity covers.
AnonyMouse_7120 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 sorry....I have another week due to funded wks this term but good luck to those of you back this week 2
Guest Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 sorry....I have another week due to funded wks this term but good luck to those of you back this week Same here, hehe.
AnonyMouse_8282 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 How does that work then????!!!!! We have to do an EXTRA week due to funding :-( x
AnonyMouse_7120 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 We are being funded 14 weeks, and it would be 15 weeks if we went back tomorrow and finished 19th Dec same as school, we could have gone back then finished a week early at the end of term, how do you mean you do an 'extra week' ?
AnonyMouse_12805 Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Same as us. We're not going back until next week. Otherwise it would have meant finishing on something like 12th Dec. 1
AnonyMouse_44476 Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 We have to do the same as the schools 38 week/ 190 days, strange how it differs depending on councils etc, so will you have to do an extra week when schools are closed then those of you going back later??
AnonyMouse_7120 Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 We will do 38 wks across year, our school does 39 but looses 5 days as inset, we will close with school on 19th
AnonyMouse_44476 Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Oh so you don't have non funded days/ close when schools have pd days? That's how we do it where we are, confusing!!
AnonyMouse_7120 Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 We stay open when school has an inset day, wouldn't it be good to get funded 39 weeks and be able to have 5 pd training days 1
AnonyMouse_12805 Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Yes it would be wonderful!! We couldnt possibly close when schools here have inset days as they all have different days. We are open for 38 weeks over the academic year though.
AnonyMouse_8282 Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Our 38 weeks runs over the financial year- and our LA won't 'carry over' so we have to finish by 31 march regardless of Easter. We have to have a 15 week autumn term this year. (Ok- it might be 14 but I'm brain fried already - we started this week and finish 19th dec) We usually choose to start back early, then finish a week early christmas - this works wells for us, as staff with children themselves get a week for their own shopping and get to see all shows and concerts etc.
AnonyMouse_7120 Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 our funded weeks run financial year, but last year we did week after 31st (4 days) but had to wait for funding to be added to summer rather than having it pd with spring term.
AnonyMouse_44476 Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 Crikey that's a bit confusing! We get given the LA term dates with the pd days marked on so we just have to follow those! Don't have any of this financial year stuff, thankfully they just tell us when to accept the funding, didn't realise it was different anywhere else!! 1

Don't have any of this financial year stuff, thankfully they just tell us when to accept the funding, didn't realise it was different anywhere else!! Are you full year or session? Asking as we worked out that the year before last (I think?) it actually worked out that the staff contract run from sept-aug, so we actually worked 39 weeks!!! Contacted now run April-march. Until that point we had simply been following the school calendar. Xxx (Sorry stargrower- we've hijacked your post :-( . ) xxx
AnonyMouse_44476 Posted September 3, 2014 Posted September 3, 2014 We are full year so only makes a difference with which days they can use their funding. Our contracts/ holiday pay etc run sept - August but in this period we would always have 38 weeks the way it's done!
