Planning for children’s individual needs
To understand more about child’s needs and interests
Recognise what children’s needs and interests are to enable them to plan resources, play opportunities and activities for them.
Remember as children’s interests, needs and stage of development change then the need to observe children may vary frequently
To ensure you gain the support needed for early intervention, gaining extra support for the child or use observations to enable you to make a referal
Observing involves
Say what you see
Write what you see
Subjectivity/objectivity

Conclusions
Approaches to planning 1.2
As a large group produce a time line of activities and resources you could plan over an academic year remember to include faiths and festivals
From this long term plan consider what you would plan in the medium term
September – December, Group 1
January – March, Group 2
April – July, Group 3
From your medium term planning and Teddy Tots observations use your activity plan to plan for your key child Claire task 6 Oracle (2.4), 2.5
Task 6 (assessment criteria 2.4 and 2.5)
Read this case study
Claire is five years old. She has recently moved to the school to join the reception class. The teacher has asked for observations of Claire that can support planning in the class and therefore meet Claire’s short term needs. Records of the assessment profile received from Claire’s previous school have shown that Claire was making good progress across all of the areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage and the teacher is keen that this transition does not affect her progress.
Reflect on the case study to:
devise a plan to meet Claire’s needs
explain why the early years practitioner involves others in planning for the next steps of Claire’s development.
Approaches to planning 1.2
Individual Education plans
Individual learning plans
Free flow
Adult and child led

Explain the role of observation in planning
Describe the reasons for tracking children’s progress

Range of child / adult led activities
2 year checks
Encourage play activities to meet the seven areas of the EYFS
Group discussion what have you seen in your placements?
Describe information the early years practitioner requires to be able to plan to meet the needs of individual children 2.1

Work in pairs write on your post it notes the reasons why you need to identify children’s needs and interests prior to planning?
Feedback to the group.
Task Use the planning cycle and your copy of the EYFS to
enable you to explain the role of observation in planning
Board blast your findings
Describe reasons for tracking children’s progress
The EYFS requires practitioners to be able to demonstrate how children make progress in their learning and development. It is therefore important that their progress is tracked and reviewed regularly throughout the EYFS.
Read the ways in which child’s progress is tracked for both formative and summative assessment
What have you seen in placement?
Why is it important to track a child’s progress?
True / false activity
Child centred planning
Work in partnership
Additional needs would
be supported
Child will progress
and develop
Inclusive environment
Child will be
engaged
Selective attention test
