Guest Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 Just wondering if any of you in reception use the planning for learning series and what you think? If you have any other ideas for planning topic ideas in reception thanks ger
Susan Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 I dont, they are bit simplistic and prescribed for me. Moving this to reception area!
Guest Wolfie Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 Yes, I agree with Susan, the plans are a bit too prescriptive for my liking - maybe OK for sparking off some ideas of your own but I wouldn't use them as a basis for planning on their own.
Guest Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 (edited) Any good ideas for getting a basis for planning, i work on my own so i dont have a team to bounce ideas of. Is there anything else you would recommend, thanks again Edited December 2, 2007 by Guest
Susan Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 Well I like the Southwark/Norfolk plans for that. Why not get one of the books and see what you think? Featherstone Little Books are good for ideas too. Belair Early Years Books are good.

Guest Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 We have most of the what learning looks like series but tend to use them to pick ideas from rather than as a whole though often our topcs of the week have matched theirs. This time I have finally persuaded my staff to let go of whole term preplanned topics so it will be very different. The series will still be very useful for mini topics though. We have taken Practical Preschool since it started, it has built up into a fantastic resource. Al
Guest Wolfie Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 The book that Marion has recommended is excellent, I've used it a lot in the past.
