suebee Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Just wondering how people plan for sand and water - do you plan a specific focus/ theme say each day /week or leave it open for the the children to take the lead or do a mixture of both?

Marion Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 We have continuous provision planning for both areas and only do focused planning if it is an adult directed activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 We do both, although as Marion says, directed is really best if it is an adult focussed task - otherwise, if your intake are anything like mine you end up with them totally ignoring what you've planned and they just put in anything they fancy. At least I should be able to tick the FSP for 'selects activities/resources independently! Harricroft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suebee Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 marion I 'm going to sound really thick now - I get the adult directed part but when you say continous provision planning - what do you exacltly mean - sorry for being so dense!

Marion Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 http://www.foundation-stage.info/forums/in...ost&p=19734 http://www.foundation-stage.info/forums/in...ost&p=19377 hopefully the links should take you to some excellent continuous provision documents posted by Jacquie. They show what learning could take place during child initiated activities and are very useful for helpers in the setting. We have them laminated and stuck to the wall in each area.

suebee Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 Thanks Marion - that's cleared a few things up for me - and will be great in developing our planning and rooms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
