ok so I know I've probably asked this before but how many of you do weekly planning as in putting it down on paper and keeping it for ofsted.
I have always done this but now have huge folders full of planning that ofsted will never get to see probably by my next inspection plus i find that my plans constantly change to suit childrens needs/moods/interests, the weather, parents changing hours etc so I am always crossing stuff out.
my idea now is not to do a weekly plan on paper , just have a rough idea of things to do in my head but go with what ever the children want (which is what happend anyway) and just put the groups down on paper that we attend. If I go ahead with this do I then need a weekly chart to write down what we did on each day or is the learning journeys then enough to prove we have done stuff each week, obvously their individual planning is the next steps on their big obs I do so individual plans arent a problem.
