hmmm, i thought i had my learning journals etc sorted out , doing what they needed to do and what i wanted them to do!;)
just had a parent/teacher meeting DDs teacher. they are doing scrapbooks/learning journeys/obs etc for each child . (she is yr R) it was really interesting to see, and very similar to mine :D i took the learning journal i do for DD with me, as i thought she may be interested in looking at it. (she was, said it was lovely to see, and really good to watch how DD has developed (and a really nice collection of work from me !!! :clapping: :clapping: :clapping: ) she said the only thing i could add (from a professional point of view (teacher was a early years advisor in childrens centre before coming back to school this year) was to link it all to the development matters wotsit ( can't remember what she called it! )
well, for each observation i list PSE, CLL etc as appropiate, and then which area, ie disposition & atttitude, and sometimes the actual bit that is relevant.
but when i looked at the obs on DD it said things like 4:2, 3:1 etc along side PSE
so, what i think i am asking (;) ) is ... are the 4:2 etc, to do with the development matters and what are they relevant to? (only thought about it as walked home !)
AND/OR how do i? what is development matters? ... i thought i was pretty much the same as the development guidelines in EYFS pack?
i apologise now, if this doesn't make sense to anyone !!! it doesn't really make sense to me, which is why i am asking !!!
thank you for getting to the end of my waffle !!!!
