My mindee seems to be into EVERYTHING so have no idea where to start from with individual planning with her. She seems to just put everything in her mouth for 3 seconds and is then onto the next thing!

Like your way of doing things Jeanybeany!!

Well my DO came today and she said I am doing far too much paperwork

she went through planning with me and sort of get it now but I need to put it into practice and see how I get on.

She said what I am already doing is fantastic and she cannot understand why the inspector only gave me satisfactory.

She is going to come and see me again in a few weeks when I have got everything up to date and see how I am getting on with it all!!

yeh i read after i posted 90 days 300 posts god ill never do that many ... i read more than i post .... thanks anyway

**patevans** · 25-10-2009, 02:23 PM

so........I have observed that A aged 2 yrs 6 months enjoys singing, b aged 9months likes feel of things and noises i.e. shakers etc, c aged 15 months likes to push and pull things and D aged 21 months likes dolls, and singing.

how do I fit all this together? do I fit into a theme or a planned activity?

**Kes** · 25-10-2009, 02:36 PM

Sounds like good grounds for a music activity. Instruments and singing include songs like Miss Polly had a dolly. Maybe see if you have any instruments that involve pushing and pulling or maybe do row, row your boat its kind of pushing and pulling. You could always extend it to a theme such as instruments, making your own shakers. Or something on nursery rhymes.
Just make sure you put in your planning what development is being covered for each child, some might cover all the children.

Hi there,
Yes, babies put everything into their mouth, it is just the process in order to understand the world and the things that are around them as they ask to themselves "what is this?", when are a little bit older they will develop to " what I can do with this?"

**patevans** · 26-11-2009, 10:18 AM

When doing weekly planning do you put somethin different in for each are of learning?

i.e. Monday - 6 different thigs, 1 for each area or do you do something that can cover all 6 as the sheet my DO sent me has 30 differnt things on each week......

**Tink** · 26-11-2009, 11:44 AM

This is the only thing I get confused with.

I do individual planning sheets carrying on from my observations that I have made.
For group topics: I do a topic web to put ideas on for example Christmas. I have the 6 areas on and plan to do things within the 6 areas.

But what do I do then? I have two children both 2 so I want to keep it simple --
I have one 2 days a week and the other 2 days one week and 4 days the other alternate.

I'm just unsure weather I should be doing weekly planning for them?

Can anyone advise me please
