AnonyMouse_6021 Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Hi Sue R, I've just read your article and just wanted to say how fantastic it is. It made things a lot clearer for me and has given me plenty to think about! Karrie
AnonyMouse_1195 Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 I found it fascinating, informative and inspirational. Sue R has thr courage of her convictions I just wish I could have a go.
Steve Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 Hi Karrie - Moving this into the articles discussion forum.
Guest Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Sue R Your article is inspiring. I've been following your blog with interest, as I am very keen to suggest we introduce a much, much more child led planning than the 'topics' we currently use. Your article and the planning examples you kindly shared, will give me amunition and support to present to my manager. This site is brilliant - I love the fact that people who work with and care passionately about children are willing to share their knowledge and 'learning journeys' with eachother to the benefit of all the children we each come into contact with. Thanks again for your time and effort - for sharing and caring. Patricia
AnonyMouse_1027 Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 i agree with Patricia - am going to take the plunge and try it next year - thanks sue xxxxx
Guest Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Thanks Sue for your inspirational article. I have done observational, child led planning for a while, however your article has shown me how to further include the children in thinking about and recording their ideas, thoughts and reflections. Thanks Peggy
AnonyMouse_3139 Posted December 23, 2006 Posted December 23, 2006 Great to see that you are able to share the planning formats Sue. It sounds as if everything is going well. I just wish I could share your ideas with the setting I'm in now but having just had a fantastic Ofsted I have no way of offering new ideas. I'll contiue to lead by example and smile when I'm told 'thats not what we've got in the plan today'
AnonyMouse_4544 Posted December 23, 2006 Posted December 23, 2006 Yes thanks so much Sue We are adopting the no topics approach from January (with the expectation of OFSTED sometime that term) so hopefully we will get it right
Guest Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Hi Sue Thanks for the information you have shared in your article and also in your blog. I am currently developing observational, child-led planning in my setting and was particularly interested to hear about how you share the LOs with the children. We have tried to find ways of sharing the LO that are accessible to young children but with limited success. If you are able to share any more examples of how the LOs are phrased for the chidlren and which symbols are used I would be really grateful - we have access to widget maker and so could develop these. nsunshine
AnonyMouse_2732 Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Hi!, That I can do! Not right now, though, as a quick glance at time and date posted will tell you!! Remind me if I forget Sue x
