Help!!

I have a mindee starting after school today who is in reception class so I know I need to do learning journey till he goes into year 1. What do we need to do paperwork wise for children over 5?
Do they still have daily diaries and learning journeys etc?
Thanks:)

I wouldn't do a diary for school age children unless either parents requested one or the child was disabled and couldn't tell parents about his day.

Yes you need to do a learning journey, but it will reflect the fact that you hardly see the child and will be much thinner than others for younger children.

I put older children in charge of their own learning journeys, let them take photos and decide what work we keep to be displayed in it.

They add pictures, stickers and other decorations too.

Hth :D
