In a previous post I shared a template I use for planning. One of the elements that was felt to be missing was space to write down what happened and think about next steps. For me this is the most important part of the planning cycle when I’m delivering Forest School.

With this in mind I have created the second part of this planning tool. I have been printing them double sided and it’s really helped me order my thoughts. 

The section for the practitioners learning has become increasingly important for me. it’s the space where I can reflect on things that have challenged me and think about how my behaviours impacted on the flow of the session. 

The small boxes are where i start jotting ideas for the following session. It may be based on requests from the children, observations I have made and things I think might extend the behaviours I have seen or will meet needs I have seen expressed. 

You can download the template here and as ever, I’m always keen to hear feedback. Let me know if you have used it!
