A. Activity Planner/ workbench
The activities work bench runs from this planner.
It offers you the ability to plan for a week, with the drop down menus making it quick and easy. The more topics, themes and festivals that you add into the drop down list, will be there for reference at a later date. The days of the week are built in, with the option to use the drop down menu to select the area of curriculum that you will be focusing on for that day/ planned activity. You are also able to use the drop down menu to choose the children from your setting (from the children programmed into the database) who will be present for the activity. You can then make comments or observations against the children who participated, which you could copy and paste to other areas of the database at a more convenient time. |
Further Focus
The activity that you decide to plan for that day can be determined by the criteria that you have previously selected as further focus.
You can bring up this information with a button and look at each child specifically. If a child that you are caring for has a lot of further focus on one area, you may want to choose an activity that has an aspect to build on that area. Alternatively, you can open up the further focus criteria that have been selected for all of the children, that has been ordered into the area of the curriculum. So, by scrolling down through the areas, you may see that there are a lot of children who have mathematical development selected. Thus, offering a suggestion that you could choose an activity that has a mathematical attribute. These forms will be updated as you remove or add further focus criteria for each child via the assessment part of the database. |
