EYFS Grids

**Maguiresmonkeys** · 20-01-2010, 01:42 PM

Hi everyone

When I first started minding I only had one in the early years age group so printed off the eyfs grids from the CD which came in the pack....which was fine. Ive now got a four part timers and printing off four copies of the grids sounds like a lot of paper and printer ink= money! What im trying to say is do you all print off the grids for each child? or has anyone got a condensed version I could have a copy of? Or have you got any ideas of how else I could do it...??

I hope this makes sense to you all....!!

Thanks

Jo

sorry can't really help - I don't print of the grids, I just use the booklet and write things up

It is all typed up in the downloads section in age order.

I have printed off the grids and laminated them. There is a copy in each child's learning journey, if the child leaves I remove the laminated grids ready for the next mindee.

Thanks for the replies

. I like the idea of laminating! At least that way it can be used again.

At the moment I use sticky notes and stick them on the relevant page and highlight on the grid what it is relevant to and write next steps, etc. I just didnt want to print off four more copies if someone had a better idea or way of doing it.

I know it sounds tight that I dont want to use lots of paper and ink but I dont earn much! and thinking of ways to make it cost effective!

This is what I use to do a baseline obs for child after their settling in period. I then use it to do reevaulation every 4 months in conjunction with parents.

To complete is so easy. I simply highlight area I feel child currently performing at - dotted line for areas they are partially in - next steps will be area they are moving into. I give parents a copy to review and discuss if they wish to. Original stays in learning journey with obs, examples of work etc.

I print double sided so it is 3 sheets each time.
