Hi,
I haven't been on for along while, just popped in every now and again.
I hope someone would be kind enough to help me. I form for doing and putting too much together and giving myself unnecessary work, my question is
What do you put in the Learning Journal.
Thanks Fee

Thank you very much.
It seems that I may have my folders crossed.
I have a folder named A Unique Child, it has a photo of the mindee, their brother or sister, mum and dad, and grandparents. A picture of their house and garden, and a pic of other settings they attend. I have included things like, walked for me at such and such date and so on. In the folder also is information called all about me. e.g likes/dislikes and so on. then in another part, planning and upcoming ideas and activities.
Is this close to being right.
The thing is I have had some training but all the other minders see to have a handle on EYFS and I am too embarrassed to ask for more help, some of them are quite snotty if you know what I mean, I really should not have left it so long,
but burying my head in the sand seemed a good idea at the time.
Sorry for being so long.

If you are a member of the NCMA they do a great book called 'activity learning' I think. I found it very useful and has things to photocopy to put in learning journal. It goes through the six steps thoughly.
