3.1 Observation, Assessment and Planning

Planning

  • Planning can be for the long-/medium-term and can show how the Principles of the EYFS will be put into practice.
  • Some planning will be short-term – for a week or a day and will show how you will support each child's learning and development.
  • This planning always follows the same pattern – observe, analyse, and use what you have found out about the children in your group so that you plan for the next steps in their learning.
