I dont know whether it was cos I was up to 1.30am doing a learning journey and other bits to get ready for my Ofsted inspection but I am STILL CONFUSED about what I am doing with my planning and linking in to EYFS.
This is what I am doing - please could ANYONE tell me if I am right :(
Individual planning - I have done two observations last month on my 15 month old mindee - and then gone through the 6 areas of l&D and for each area said where I think he is, what the observation showed and next steps. Then from this I have written next steps for Nov for example as he is beginning to make marks with paints I have said I will do potato printing etc. I have done this for most of the areas of learning.
Then for group planning I have written down what activities we are going to do this week and also allocated some time for children to play on their own choosing what they would like to play with from my resources. So for example today we went for an autumn walk and collected leaves so that we can do some leaf printing this week. Then we played in the playground. Came back and did some singing before having lunch altogether.
HERe is the question - do I now try to link the mornings activity of collecting leaves, playing at the park - being able to go across the bridge on the toddler climbing frame for the first time etc. - to the six areas of learning????
Also do you then have to look at every activity you do with the children and link it to EYFS or just a selection from each week that you think shows the child has learnt something new.
Please help just so confused....
