1. Seeing lots of discussion around the progress model of curriculum- (surely any curriculum is about children making progress).

I’m also hearing about lots of practitioner plotting out their EYs curriculum week by week, month by month to cover Dev matter statements...
2. This will probably make me unpopular- but I don’t get it? I worry that this kind of approach may in fact limit children’s experiences and learning. I also worry seriously about workload of practitioners?
3. Back in the day I used topics and had in-depth long term plans- what happened? Is deviate from them. I’d leave the focus activity no one wanted to do and go and teach where the children WERE engaged. Maybe outside? Or in construction area? Role play area? Wherever they were.
4. I used to feel a bit naughty doing it tbh. My NNEB knowledge told me it was right. My instincts told me it was right- but around me my colleagues got through their activities- I never did. I was the queen of “rolling over to next week”...
