About the Bumper Bears Way

The ROSE Way is a framework that engages inquiry-based planning with children. It is not a ‘recipe’ or activities based planning, but a well considered action based research planning structure that inspires quality. At Bumper Bears we implemented the bones of this curriculum style into the Bumper Bears Way that supports us in our journey to exceeding practices within our service.

The framework and documentation will offer you genuine insight into the learning occurring for children, and offer opportunities for you to have input into our curriculums, through regular discussions, one on one meetings, access to learning via our online platform and information sessions.

Sharing of Information

 

Daily

You will receive daily photos of the day’s occurrences via Storypark, alongside daily verbal communication about how your child has participated in the curriculum.

Weekly

Each Friday you will receive notification of the following week’s focus, including the specific strategies that have been planned by the Educators. You will also receive a learning story on Storypark consolidating the week’s findings and discoveries and discussing what has been noticed in the children’s learning and development.

Each Term

at the end of each term, you will receive an e-Book of learning. This document will be a compilation of the entire term’s learning, including a deep analysis of the children’s development over this time.

 
 

Bi-Annual

Summative assessments will be provided to you twice a year (May and November), giving you a summary of how your child is progressing towards the learning outcome outlined in the Early Years Learning Framework. Upon receiving this, you will also be invited to have a one on one, face to face meeting with your child’s Educator, providing you with the opportunity to discuss their development in greater detail. Note: This will be a “Transition Statement” at the end of year for Kindergarten children commencing prep the following year.

Displays

Learning displays will be visible around the classrooms for your perusal, including things like work samples (drawings, painting, clay models etc.). Any work samples will of course be provided to you at the end of term or as requested.
