I have worked alongside an Early Years Consultant to create my own Objective Led Weekly Planning template for use in EYFS.
This is the planning system I use currently for a mixed Nursery and Reception class, but can also be used for pure Nursery or pure Reception.
My planning template focuses on three targets for each individual child in EYFS. The idea is then to facilitate these targets through the child’s interests in the provision. For example, if a child likes constructing things, but has a specific writing target, as a practitioner this target could be facilitated through encouraging the child to write about what model they’ve made and what it’s functions are. The challenge is then to facilitate this target three times per week for consolidation of learning.
The planning also highlights which children need extra support, as well as showing which children are capable of exceeding. It shows their current attainment, as well as showing their individual target in the specific area of learning. It also has boxes for enhancements made in the provision, a box for adult-directed tasks for the week and an evaluation of the week’s planning box.
I have used this template for nearly 18 months; yielding fantastic attainment for the children:
Last year’s Reception cohort achieved 100% GLD with 56% of children exceeding in at least one curriculum area. This year we achieved 100% GLD again, but with 100% of children exceeding in at least curriculum area! These results have been absolutely incredible!
This planning really does work! Give it a try and let me know what you think! Thank you!
