narnia Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 we use scrap books too and have had no problems at all,even though the children take them out regularly, and even share them with other children.We've been using them for over a year, so they seem pretty durable..................we buy them from the consortium.

Sue R Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Snap, narnia - we use scrapbooks, and children love them!! I don't, however, know where we get ours from!! Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 We write or type onto loose paper (using PowerPoint is good for the photies). Send it home in a plastic wallet, and when it comes back (all crumpled) it goes into the childs Learning Journey book which is loose leaf with a binder. (phew).

Guest Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I would be really interested to know what you put in your learning journeys/scapbooks and how they are structured - I assume observations, children's work and photos, and perhaps comments from parents? Do you relate everything to eyfs learning achivements in the books and if so how is it done? Do you include ideas for next steps? Do you divide it into developmental matter sections or just put things in chronologically? Any info would be great - sorry for all the questions!

Guest Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 We' do them in A4 size execise books and put in post-it note obs, bits of self initiated work and notes from parents about children's learning in chronological order. We've got a colour code at the front of the book eg CLL yellow, PSRN blue and we put a coloured spot by the observations so we can see at a glance which areas the obs relate to.

Thanks Kaloufl that seems a really good workable system - I really like it - do you put any suggested next steps in or relate them to planning in some other way?
