Guest Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Hi, When I child is able to do 10/15/25 piece puzzles which statements of the EYFS development matters do you think it relates to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catma Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I don't think there is one specific point it relates to as such - wouldn't it depend on the skills the child was demonstrating through the act of completing a puzzle, regardless of how many pieces it has. They could for example be: demonstrating high levels of involvement PSED physical control of the pieces, manipulating them to fit, PD recognising/matching shapes or colours, PSRN problem solving through the way they solve the puzzle - some just randomly pick up pieces, others select more carefully using visual cues to guide their choices PSRN Working with others, taking turns or listening to the views of others PSED/CLLD Engaged in the image on the puzzle KUW/CLLD predicting where pieces may go as more is revealed CLLD/PSRN etc etc etc!!! You would have to look at the specific element of the area of learning to refine the assessment. It will depend on your observation of how the child tackled the task in hand rather than the outcome of a completed puzzle = process not product!!
