Ok, coming clean: no paperwork done in last 6 months

[likelylady]

I know, I know. My first 6 months have flown by and I've kept any notes for the 2 five year olds I look after. Nothing. No plans, no observations. Not even a post-it note. Now having a panic. What can I do. Should I write up a load of fake notes? What will OFSTED say?

Here here Tanith - couldn't agree with your more!

No but Tanith it's always there in your mind subconsciously. I don't want to be thinking when we're making pizzas: oh yes good opportunity to help X here with his numbers, colours or whatever. I just want them to enjoy the experience without putting any slant on it. Why can't we make pizzas just for the sake of making pizzas?

No reason at all why you can't make pizzas just for the sake of making pizzas. Who says you can't do that?

If a child needs help with colours or numbers, then of course you may well use the experience to help them. Just as you would probably have done pre-EYFS. Just as most parents would do.

You don't have to turn every single activity into a detailed learning experience for every child.

Exactly, I don't want to turn every single activity in to a detailied learning experience for my child or anyone elses. I want them to just to make pizzas, no counting or colours unless they ask then of course I'd talk about that stuff.

I've not written anything up in the LJ's for almost 4 months, have lots of photos and obs on bits of paper, just not got round to laying them out neatly yet.

Oh, yeah and then there's the receipts and accounts to do as well.
