HappyMaz Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Hannah - it seems to me that your planning and observation systems are very comrehensive! And that your parents are given lots of information about what their children do when they are with you. How do parents contribute to your planning?

Guest Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Ma ny thanks for the snapshot observations sheet. I was picked up on these by the moderators because although I was just doing short ones on post-its, they wanted information about the context, whether it was child initated or adult led, which areas of learning it covered and what the next steps were, all to be shown on the observation. As I'm not so good at boxes and tables your observation sheet has saved me a lot of time, I've just changed the headings where I've needed to. Hahaha, I'm ready for them now! Many, many thanks for this, I owe you a bottle of wine! Maisie PS. I've hopefully attached my version incase it's of any use to someone else.
