good idea . good joib i purchased some..many have to buy more.
glad you like them. All my paperwork is based around these colours i think it makes it look interesting and hope it will make people want to read them rather than plain grey or black..sorry if anyone uses these colours. plus it makes all my ink colours run out at similar times lol
They are fab sheets!!!! Wish I was that good on a computer to do stuff like them. I use colours when doing my planning but only can do in in text
When someone tells you nothing is impossible, tell them to go slam a revolving door
Please feel free to use my ideas I've used loads of others. If you want me to pm them I'm happy to share...
Thank you for all your kind comments ....Kx
What you are doing is using a child's natural enthusiasm for learning, sprinkling in a liberal dose of multiculturalism and diversity and presenting exciting learning opportunities for children of all ages, which are relevant to their development needs.[HTML][/HTML]
I love this wording

I use themes/topics as a base for organsing a few weeks activities at a time. Its a bit slap dash really, I just look through the file (50x odd themes), deciding on which one to use by:-
what we haven't covered for a while
what fits in with the long term plan I have with birthdays and festivals
if a child needs to grasp a concept eg colours
Sometimes a theme only covers a week in the case of pirates or a full month if we are covering animals as there is so much to cover.
My planning sheets have lists of ideas on activities/things to do under each of the 6x areas of learning. I photocopy the master, then in the blank box at the bottom I can add in the details on any festivals/birthdays etc that can be included within the timeframe we will be covering that topic and also any individual planning for the children that is being covered on their individual planning sheets.
I've never heard that Ofsted aren't a fan of themes/topics and having only a few months ago competed one of the DHC units were we covered themes - It wasn't metioned then, I think I am not going to worry or change anything, yet!
Wow - I could have written this... it is exactly what happened to me, I did minimum paperwork, asked my DO as I started to panic, she reassured me that everything was OK and that my inspector never gives outstanding to newly registered anyway, and I also got a good!!
I wonder if this has happened to anyone else? spooky !

i was told when i had my last inspection (march 2009) that i didn`t have to do themes. i had to do individual plans for each child based on thier interests and build from there, so now i have to do 6 plans a week insted of 1
I had my inspection this week and our current theme is ourselves currently looking at healthy eating last week and this week, Mrs O did grill me on why I was doing the theme and I supported it by the fact that one of my lo's had grown lots of veg for the first time in his garden ove the summer and I wanted to extend his learning about healthy and less healthy food. Also doing sneezesafe nxt week which she ask why and I pointed out that as lo had just started preschool I wanted to reaffirm aspects of personal hygiene, hand washing and using tissues when you sneeze as with the threat of swine flu etc - she said that was a very good idea -
