Guest Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 Im a student specialising in art and need to produce a long term planning framework in this subject. I would like some help on how to go about planning for nursery! I am not sure if the planning is set out the same as other year groups. Do I focus on the early learning goals and create activities which help to develop these skills?.....I would be grateful for any advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_73 Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Hi there Alex, Ill echo Linda's welcome too. When you say you are specialsing in art, does that mean that you are looking specifically at the creative development of the FS curriculum or all of it? have you any concrete experiences form school that can help you- I always find it easier to see an example and then modify it rather than start from scratch. Our LTP covers the whole phase- and is based around the stepping stones and ELG- then we use the themes or topics as the vehicle through which to deliver. This means that not only can be be sure that we have given a fair coverage to everything (which we had in the past been criticised for) but it also means that we can chnage the topics without changing the LTP- only the medium and short term plan changes. But it is very much a work still in progress as it is very different from what we used to which was choose a topic and then see what 'fit' and we felt that this was a bit hit and miss approach which led to us missing some bits out. I hope soemone else can add more to help you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 Thanks Mundia. I am on a 3 year degree course in primary education and my specialist area is in art. We have to plan a framework for 3-11's, so across the school. This is why I am not sure about planning art for the younger children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
