Well, I've had no kids til after school today, so been able to knuckle down & take a look at my EYFS pack at last.
Tring to think of ways to incorporate it all, plus planning & observation, plus evidence for ofsted etc...
I've had an idea & would like someone who understands it a bit more than me for their opinion as to if it's a good idea or not.
Looking through the book it lists everthing a child should be able to do by the end of the EYFS, which is 5. I was thinking if when a child starts with me, to create a cover with name, picture, DOB & start date on, then print off like a checklist for each area, with the list for each from the book, and tick off with a date when the child reaches it. Obviously I know there are bits they would reach before starting school, but ofsted & parents can see I'm working towards the early learning goals.
Then after the checklist in each section have photos or pictures etc the kids have done, stating which part of the EYFS the child is working towards.
Then give it to the parents when they start school, and it evidence for ofsted & communication with the parents (I wouldn't want them taking it home every night though or it would get lost, so would not replace a daily diary), but maybetake home at the end of every month to look through.
Does this sound like I'm creating too much work for myself, or does it sound do-able? Is this the kind of thing Ofsted will be looking for when we're inspected...
Thanks in advance
