1. Download the Documentation of Planning Cycle Template linked above and make sure you are familiar with the format.

2. You will be using the videos provided below to observe children and complete your observations.

3. Choose one (1) video from the list and write one (1) observation using the Documentation of Planning Cycle Template Part 1.
 a. Follow the prompts in the document and make sure to identify the extra¬ordinary in the ordinary moments and
 b. Analyse the observation and link it to the EYLFNEYLF Learning Outcomes

4. Next, plan, implement and evaluate one (1) experience in response to the observations taken using the Documentation of Planning Cycle template part 2.

5. In session 9, you will implement your planned experience for your peers. You will pretend you are the teacher, and the students will be children in an early learning setting.

6. Submit: Your completed Documentation of Planning Cycle template (Parts 1 and 2) - Maximum two pages, Calibri, size 12.

7. In sessions 10 & 11, you will present your planning cycle to the group. You will discuss your entire planning cycle, using reflective practice to evaluate how it went. Your presentation should be no longer than 5 minutes and does not need any formal presentation slides, you can talk to your submission document. Remember not to read the information from the document, but to talk through it highlighting the key points of each stage in the planning cycle.

Documentation of Planning Cycle

PART 1
Collect information - Observation
What do you observe or notice? Look for the extraordinary in the ordinary moments by making learning visible.

Question and analyse observation
What do you understand about what you observed? What did you find interesting or extraordinary? What learning is being demonstrated? What can you extend on? Suggest few experiences. What are the interests and strengths of child/ren observed? Link the information to EYLF/VEYLDF learning outcomes.

PART 2
Plan
Learning Intention/s to achieve by the end of experience (one or two): For children to understand... For children to explore...For children to practice... etc.
Strategies: What strategies you might use to promote children's interest, play and learning? This might include interactions, resources, intentional teaching. You might include some examples of modelling, scaffolding or open ended questions.How will you encourage children to learn from each other? How will the environment support play and learning?

Act and Do (Implementation)
Implement your experience. Did you need to modify for any reason? Any emergent experiences that arose? Give specific examples of children's involvement. What learning processes have you observed the children using (problem solving, inquiry, experimentation, hypothesising, researching, investigating...)?

Review and Reflect (Evaluation)
Review:With the learning aims and the EYLF/VEYLDF learning outcomes in mind, evaluate the learning and the planning. What worked well? What can you improve? Do you need to repeat, refine or extend the plan?How will you follow up?
Reflect: What did you learn about yourself and your practice as a teacher. Any changes to your practice as a result?
