Guest Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 I've seen examples of PLODS that take account of the individual child's interests but I'm looking for examples where they've been drawn up for a group of children - for instance, where there is an interest in Pirate Play. I just wondered if anyone has tried this? Ideally I'd like to keep it as a working document that can be brought out again when the interest 're-emerges'.
Guest Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 Sorry! I should have clarified in case anyone doesn't know the jargon. PLODS = Possible Lines Of Development.
Guest Wolfie Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 Sounds like an excellent idea- have you had a go at doing one yourself yet?
Guest Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 No but I went on a visit to an excellent nursery school the other day & they had them. Unfortunately becaue we had so far to travel I didn't have anything like as long as I would have liked to look at their planning. What I saw was a sheet with the central interest in the middle [circle] then 2 further circles outside. It was these I would have liked to have looked at in more detail. It looked very informal in that I don't think it was being directly related to the 6 learning areas, for example.
surfer Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 There are examples in the EYFS document here Sorry just reread your post and realised you want it for a group of children. You could adapt them though?
Guest Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 im also really interested in PLODS and trying to find out more info into using them but i want them manageable and less paper work. can anyone steer me to some mor3e info ie book, internet, examples please. thanks c x
Cait Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 Has anyone found anything yet? I'm interested in establishing some PLODS too
Guest Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 Might have something for you when I get back to work next week, Cait. We have a draft template but haven't used it yet. Don't think I have it at home. If I find it I'll post it.
HappyMaz Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 I made one using the form surfer uploaded. Maz
HappyMaz Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 So go on - share! Well I haven't transferred my files onto the new laptop yet - but from memory all I did was remove the circles at the bottom with the arrows... One thing at a time! Maz
Cait Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 Well I haven't transferred my files onto the new laptop yet - but from memory all I did was remove the circles at the bottom with the arrows... One thing at a time! Maz Haha, ok i'll be patient then (lalala)
HappyMaz Posted January 1, 2009 Posted January 1, 2009 Haha, ok i'll be patient then (lalala) Well what I'm saying is the form is basically the same as the one surfer uploaded without the circles at the bottom and the arrows. Just delete them and make the boxes bigger and you'll have my form! If all else fails remind me in a week or two...
Guest Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Just found mine so I'm hoping I can upload it successfully & my co-author forgives me for sharing!! Well we've benefited so much from the forum it's only fair to contribute when we can! plod.doc
