What Is the Plan, Do, Review Sequence?

Plan

Children use various strategies to plan their first activity by making choices within carefully planned structures.

Work Time

Children organise the resources needed and manage their own time while completing their task.  They have control over their own learning while negotiating and making decisions.  During this independent time the practitioners will observe the children and plan for their next step.

Review Time

The children discuss activities they have been involved in, staff are able to extend their thinking by asking open questions.

Small Group Time

This is an adult led activity which has been planned as a result of the practitioners observations.

Large Group Time

Children are able to interact within a large group situation.  The large time may involve music, role play, story or talk time.


Consistency

To become confident, independent learners, children need consistency.  The High/Scope Approach provides this through the daily routine, the organisation of the learning environment and the ways that the adult interact with the childre.


The Learning Environment

You will notice that the nursery rooms are organised into different areas.  All the appropriate materials are stored so that the children can independently choose suitable resources for their planned activities.
