We hope parents and carers will enjoy being able to have a look that their child’s learning story this weekend. It is a great opportunity for the children to share their learning with you at home.
Learning stories should be individualised and have meaning for each child. It is their story and they should feel like they have ownership of their story and what goes into it. There may be a selection of in-depth observations made by staff in the setting, or smaller snippets of information to say what a child has been occupied in. There could be photo attached, a child’s own drawings or comments throughout the story.
The document allows children (and adults) to see and value the progression made in learning over time. It is also valuable to share learning at home in a collaborative way, so that the adults in nursery know what interests and experiences children are interested or engaged with at home too.
There is a sheet included within the learning story for people at home to add their feedback/comments, and their child’s comments. We enjoy having a collaborative approach to working with families and value comments and connections that allow us to support learning.
As this is an important part of documenting your child’s learning journey, we would appreciate these learning stories to be returned by Tuesday 1st February.
If you have any comments that you would like to discuss with staff privately, rather than written comments, these can also be received in a more confidential way as always.
