Guest Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 When looking at children's learning, I sometimes struggle to decide which phase to place an activity into when highlighting the phase in their learning journeys. E.g. a child playing with a water spray says "We're making a river" - KUW, Place - but 30-50m or 40-60+m? Of course, it could also be included in other areas of learning as well.

Guest Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 you can cross reference across areas of development using one observation. I am doing my learning journeys as we speak - I am having difficulty writing on the journals or using observation formats and highligting. I have totally lost it - I am sorry!!!

Cait Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I always look at the 'maturity' of the comment or activity and level of understanding. I have an idea of the level they are working at and generally would place in that age band unless the comment "I'm making a river" comes with a deeper level of understanding or other comments too, such as 'It's slow in this bit where there's stones' or 'There's a waterfall on this bit, you've gotta be careful, the stones are slippy' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
