Cait Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 looks really good to me Cait but think I agree about leaving out the next steps. I am not a teacher but imagine that if I was I would welcome what you have devised but would like to also get to know the child myself and decide their next steps Ok, I'll take them out. That's going to generate some space, so, bigger six areas boxes or fewer pages? Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 bigger six areas boxes or fewer pages? Any thoughts? Will it be filled out by hand or on the computer? If its the latter it won't really matter will it? If its the former, then I'd go for bigger boxes! Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittycat1279 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 It looks great and as a teacher I would be really pleased to get something like that come to me - a really useful report! Whether it had next steps or not doesn't matter too much as I think it will give a very good picture of the child and make a great contribution to the EYFSP. Also as you say the next steps could change after a six week break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Ok, I've made boxes smaller a little bit and also put parent signature of first page and manager or key person on last page Transition_Document_b.doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) I'm looking at the materials provided by Surrey County Council which I think was uploaded to a different thread but I like it because it is simpler and (in my opinion anyway) more manageable than the Southampton materials. However I do like the colour coding of the Southampton stuff so I shall combine the two! Thought anyone else who is interested in learning journeys/transition documentation might like to consider this as well as everything else available! So guess what I shall be doing this afternoon - really getting to grips with our learning journey documentation. So if you see me here before about 3pm, you have permission to shoot me! Here's the link to the pdf. The people in Surrey are very clever - they've made the file editable so if you're in Surrey you can just insert all the information and print it out direct!

HappyMaz Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Or Susan... Ah yes - my apologies Susan! I was being put under extreme pressure whilst trying to sort out the link problem by number one son who was waiting for a lift to High Wycombe for a date with some revision! Well that's what he said, anyway! Sorry if I caused a minor identity crisis there for either of you! Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 So how are the learning stories looking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 So how are the learning stories looking? Coming along nicely Cait! Typically I started at the end with the transition report, but I'm going back now... Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Ah, so you have 'next steps'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panders Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Coming from Kent, we have done a Record of Transfer for a number of years, which is very much like the one Surrey have adopted. At the end of the summer term we rarely put any next steps, if we were sending the RoT mid term when a child left to go to another setting because of a house move etc. then we would put next steps as the likelyhood was that they would carry on within a very short space of time. This year whilst I am unhappy with the bar graph type transition record Kent are promoting, I have decided we will do it as we have also being doing monitoring sheets every 12 weeks and these will be easy for the next setting to read and see how the children have progressed and what they are beginning to do, (or were at least beginning to do mid July!!)

HappyMaz Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Ah, so you have 'next steps'? I see from the Surrey materials that they have 'next steps' too. Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Possum Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I think some of their earlier boxes are a bit limiting, size wise. At least the Southampton ones have a bit more room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
