im getting myself in a real tizzy this week, i didnt sleep a wink last night :panic:
up until now i have had schoolies (the only early years child was here for an hour a day so no planning was required although for practice sake she has a detailed Learning journey).....this week i have took on 2 under 4's and need to start planning.......here is the problem.....
A (3) is here for 2 hours a week (1 session) including school run & making evening meal
B (nearly 3) is here for 2.5 hours a day including school runs & making dinner
school run alone takes 45 mins-1 hour then i have the schoolies & my own kids to cook for so its generally free play/colouring/garden/dress up etc....anything i can monitor without needed constant input.
Nothing goes to plan in this house, i cant imagine sticking to a 'planned' day, we have a 'typical' day but its pretty much see how everyones mood is at the time. (i have no intention of dodging flying scissors just because the plan says we need to have a crafty session)
i have started a learning journey for both boys which includes the following...
-All about me page
-EYFS 6 areas of learning & development info page & child development charts which are dated when each stage is reached.
-13 monthly reviews for each area of learning (12 months + starting point)
-Detailed planned activity pages with sections for photos, what the child did, links to EYFS early leaning goals, how did it support learning & Next steps.
-Look listen & note observation records.
Is there anything else i need to add?
Do i need to do themes?
Do i need to plan daily/weekly/monthly/yearly?
How often do i need to do a detailed planned activity?
How the blooming hell am i going to squeeze everything into the small amount of time we have together?
Will ofsted want to see evidence 0f planning?
