  1. Learning Journeys

  2. Learning Journeys • Observations - Quality not quantity • Learning Journeys should provide a focus for sharing and discussing observations and stages of development with parents and outside agencies who are also involved with the child • The Journey should include children, parents/carers ‘voices’ showing that all are involved in the ongoing observation and assessment process • Significant-milestones-achievements • Learning Journeys should provide a record of significant moments in a child’s learning and development over time. They should be cross curricular and show breadth, depth and progression. • They can support children’s transitions as they move from one area in a nursery setting to another, from one setting to another and to school • Tracking

  3. Learning Journeys • Learning Journeys should include: • Observations which are clearly dated and are from both indoor and outdoor learning • A range of ‘work’/outcomes across all areas of learning-Cross curricular • Some indication if it is child or adult initiated/directed • Spontaneous/incidental observations • Photographic evidence with comments detailing the learning taking place • Next steps • Child’s comments showing evidence of their contribution to the Learning Journey thus giving them ownership of their Journey • Any contributions from all adults who work with the child • Any parental contributions, particularly for the Star Moments

  7. Learning Journeys • How can this be developed as a cross curricular Learning Journey? • Kieran is a very active child who rarely settles at any activity for more than a few minutes. He enjoys playing outside on the bikes and scooters and will concentrate on this activity for much longer periods. His family are temporarily homeless and have been living in cramped bed and breakfast accommodation. By choosing to spend a lot of time out of doors, he is meeting his own need to have space and to be physically active. However, staff are concerned that he is not accessing a broad curriculum. Asking him to come and do an activity at a table is not effective in helping him to develop positive dispositions towards learning and his impatience to get away is clear when he asks the member of staff, 'Have I finished yet?'
