My week in pictures...

**Delly** · 01-05-2008, 11:45 AM

I've been thinking of doing something like this for my mindees parents,
My week in pictures...

a selection of photos taken throughout of the week of the different activities we do together...think it would be nice for them.

Just perhaps on an A4 sheet with a selection of the best pics..

What does anyone think? does anyone do this? or do you think that i'm just giving myself loads more extra work ?

Do you think OFsted would like it ?

would love all your opinions...

I do this and put the pics up on the wall for the parents to see. I am also making a photo album for the children to look at themselves as they all like to see themselves up on the wall.

I always take photographs. I take them during al activities that we do, all outings, during toddler group sessions & just during general play.

I write in the daily diaries & often include photographs of child doing things that relate to that day. I also have been making my photo album that I can use to show prespective parents & ofsted.

I used the album in my inspection this week as evidence of differnt activities & outings that I take mindees on/to.

I think I would do the A4 thing monthly though as weekly could become very time consuming.

well i have just done my first ones for my 2 mindees, it had taken about 20 mins to do, just copying all pics as a montage into word and then printed out on A4 paper.. I'll pop it in with their daily diaries tonight and see what the parents think..
if it becomes 2 time consuming i could do it monthly instead..

I think it's an excellent idea... doesn't sound like it's taken you too much time either!

At christmas I bought some cheap hard back note books and got the children to decorate the front, I then filled with pictures of the child and wrapped it up as a present. For one child I took lots of photos of him doing things with his faviourt toy and made a story, so once upon a time Child A and iggle pickle went for a walk, they played on the trampoline, etc etc.
