Guest Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Hi Everyone, I'm really confused on how to do my medium term planning. If we plan to the children's interests, we therefore can not plan ahead. How does everyone else do their medium term planning? Anybody like to share some examples. Thanks very much .

KST Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Well I have been wondering this myself. I have heard that you no longer need to do a medium term plan but i felt I wanted something. So I am just doing a topic/theme web, with the topic in the middle and the areas of learning around the edge and i fill in possible activities for each area of learning, I haven't put learning intentions of development matters on it, instead I am highlighting them as i cover them. Interested to read what others are doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I am sort of doing a medium term plan as I go along filling it in each week. I dont know if this is right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest babyjane31 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 My medium term plan is a list of next steps for each of the children that the key person gets from their observations, each child has 4 per half term which along with their interests make up a rough plan.

Guest Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I am doing a similar thing to you, KST - once I have decided on a mini topic, medium term plan is a list of possible activities for 6 areas of learning, and am highlighting development matters statements as covered. Whether this is 'right', though, I don't know....!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Do most people do topic webs then? Any other suggestions? Really need some help!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigger Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 We do our medium term plans in retrospect as we are planning from the children's interests but I do a vague topic web for my own benefit so I know where I am headed. The Medium tewrm plans are given to the Year 1 teachers so they know what we have covered. S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
