AnonyMouse_2821 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Hi I would like to make a key person display but struggling with ideas? Any ideas...?
AnonyMouse_19782 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) Do you mean what a Key Person does for a child? So photos of a Key Person helping a child etc. with a central overall piece of writing explaining the role? I wish I could upload this, but anyway, in each Key Child's learning journey I put a page explaining a Key Person's role and who the KP is for that child, I can't remember where I got the page from, but I photocopy it and put it in each folder Its like a mind map, so in the middle there is a box which says Key Person, and surrounding that are 8 more boxes with expressions such as, Develops secure trusting relationships with children and parents, another says provides a secure base for their key children to support their exploration away from them. Is physically and emotionally available to their key children. Provides eye contact body language and sensitive voice to let children know they are interested. Responds sensitively to children's feelings, ideas and behaviour. Meet's children's care, learning and development needs. Settles new children in gradually, helps them become familiar with the setting and supports their arrival and departure each day. Has more contact than others with the child and is a point of contact for parents. Edited February 5, 2016 by Panders 1
AnonyMouse_2821 Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 Hi Panders that sounds lovely. It was also how you display children and their key person. For example a ballon with the staff members Face on balloon and children in the basket!
AnonyMouse_13457 Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 We have flower shapes with children as petals and staff as middles. korkycat 1
AnonyMouse_19920 Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) i am just about to start this - i have photo of each key person and each key child. i will place photo of key person at the top of large piece of card then below a photo of each child with their name. each child will then be asked to draw a picture of themselves and that will go alongside their photo - and will ask the child to draw themselves again at beginning of the summer term and place this alongside the photo and previous drawing so we can see how they have developed. hope that makes sense? might even get key person to draw themselves too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AnonyMouse_665 Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 I bought this from amazon then put photo of key person in box with photos of their children around. 5
AnonyMouse_23964 Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Good idea Buttercup. If you have a large setting with lots of staff you could have a key person forest! 2
