I use my diary to plan what Im doing with the children. Often I'll sit the evening before and plan out the next day also with notes to self and also personal appointments, childrens school stuff goes in there too. Is this ok and does it count as planning? I tried planning in a way that I would do an obs and then do next steps and when the next obs would be, but it just felt too specific, never came to fruition because when you look after children things change all the time. Sometimes even the things Ive planned for the next day dont happen because something will come up so I'll move it to the next week. Occasionally I plan the night before but if what I am doing is linked to something I'll write it in my diary for the next week when that child is attending.
It helps me to have all my info in one place because it means I can realistically organise what can happen and when. How can I show my planning to Ofsted though/ Literally is it ok when they come to just show my diary or do I need to photocopy each day in my diary and put it intheri learning journeu? I get so confused by everyhting!
