Guest Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Hello, I have recently had a meeting with all staff in foundation stage relating to the progress matters. Currently we are doing long observations on any children. Staff are timetabled in for observation time where we observe any child who we can see are doing something special. However I am not sure this is what long observations are all about. I am wondering if anyone has a VIP system in school and how it works. I have heard some people have the VIP children on display (visual for parents - getting them involved in doing observations). Just wondering how it works and if anyone has any photos of their VIP walls for inspiration. Thanks Steph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freefaller Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 I just have a list of all the children in the class and go on-by-one each day. Me and my TA attempt to do 2 obs in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. Doesn't always happen though for a variety of reasons. As the observation is done we put the date in the box next to the name. That way you can't miss anyone out. In a clas of 30 we manage at least 1 long observation every 6 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KST Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 I have 5 focus children a week which we do a longer obs on. It works out that you get 2 per child every term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
