Making plans
Why plan?
The purpose of planning is to make sure that all children enjoy a broad and balanced curriculum. All planning should be useful. Plans are working documents that you spend time preparing, which later should repay your efforts. Try to be concise. This will help you to find information quickly when you need it.
Long-term plans
Preparing a long-term plan, which maps out the curriculum during a year or even two, will help you to ensure that you are providing a variety of activities and are meeting the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage (2007).
Your long-term plan need not be detailed. Divide the time period over which you are planning into fairly equal sections such as half terms. Choose a topic for each section. Young children benefit from making links between the new ideas they encounter so as you select each topic, think about the time of year in which you plan to do it. A topic about minibeasts will not be very successful in November!
Although each topic will address all the learning areas, some could focus on a specific area. For example, a topic on Shopping would lend itself well to activities relating to Problem Solving, Reasoning and Numeracy and Knowledge and Understanding of the World. Another topic might particularly encourage the appreciation of stories. Try to make sure that you provide a variety of topics in your long-term plans such as:
Medium-term plans
Medium-term plans will outline the contents of a topic in a little more detail. One way to start this process is by brainstorming on a large piece of paper. Work with your team writing down all the activities you can think of which are relevant to the topic. As you do this it may become clear that some activities go well together. Think about dividing them into themes. The topic of ‘Shopping’, for example, has themes such as ‘Let’s go shopping’, ‘Shopping for food’, ‘Shopping for clothes and shoes’, ‘Shopping for holidays’, ‘Shopping for birthdays’ and ‘At the DIY store’. At this stage it is helpful to make a chart. Write the theme ideas down the side of the chart and put a different area of learning at the top of each column. Now you can insert your brainstormed ideas and will quickly see where there are gaps. As
