Guest Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Hi there, I am currently teachign a mixed aged reception / year one class, as of september I have secured another position as a nursery teacher. Very excited but just wondered really what planning people use and how much and how often in terms of focused activites. I will pretty much set my class up as I do now with areas of proviison and using continuous provision but just wondering how many focused activities per week people do and how much and how often you put pieces of work / evidence in profiles? I will do incidental obs, whole ch obs for 20 mins ( one per child per term???) Support would be welcome to get me started thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I am struggling to open the documents once I have opened up the durham link. Anybody know why?? Perhaps I am just being really stupid!! Jellytots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I'm assuming because they are freely available there are no copyright issues EYFS Durham suggested planning formats Here are some planning formats devised by the Early Years central team, designed to fulfil the requirements fo the EYFS. Medium and short term can be downloaded now and long term is to follow. It is thought that the weekly plan could be for more than one week, depending on the responses of the children. For short term the daily room plan or the focus sheet should be used NOT both!

Guest Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 My LA has put some suggested formats on their web site http://www.durhamlea.org.uk/earlyyearsfoundationstage/ Sorry for the late reply to this post! On these example plans, for the parts relating to the EYFS, Unique child and all that jazz, Are the things you have written down actual objectives from the document, or are they things that have been created to fit that box? Do you get what I mean? I haven't got my copy of the EYFS with me, or I'd check! (even though I'm feeling at the moment like I should have it sellotaped to my leg everywhere I go... haha!) xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
