Lorna Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I don't have a formal plan for my continuous provision... add things as I hear or observe children's interests and most of the resources we have are available for the children to get as they require. I tried using a format from here once... but felt it was a paper exercise as you have to fill it in afterwards and we plan for ourselves to inform what we are doing rather than for the sake of it. I would be interested to see what others think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 You will only know if you need enhancements from observing how the children are accessing the continuous provision and what use they are making of it. Think of the enhancements as "next steps" to extend learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 ah thats great thanks. so do you plan for enhancements retrospectively or not at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 We have a grid which lists all the areas and just jot in the column what has been added or will be added the next day. activity_area_plan.doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I evaluate against any plans I have made to acknowledge the childrens interest and the direction/ provision that I am making for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennyjenkinz Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 hello! I am going to try and download/upload the continous [provision sheet we use...this one was aqually filled in and used...but if you like it you can just use the format or re-jig it. ok now for the upload...also we write any adjustments/enhancements in the "significant observation to inform planning" We write it as we go along and add anything else after discussion after our planning meeting.

You know how sometimes you can see something that's really quite similar to what you've seen before, and even kind of similar to what you already do but it's just slightly laid out differently or with different headings or somethings and things suddenly become so much clearer? (No? Maybe it's just me...) Anyway, that's what happened when I looked at your plan so thank you Jenny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Like the planning Jenny. Can I just ask as your continuous provision is so detailed do you also do focus activities alongside this? How often do you change the CP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
