green hippo Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Hi, Just wondering if others find the aspect: 'Being Creative - Responding to experiences, expressing and communicating ideas' difficult to judge which age and stage children are in, especially the 22-23month age and stage? I find the LLN bit not very helpful as when I read it I can think of times when my 14 month old has responded in the way it suggests and I don't think he's particularly advanced!! What sort of things do you look for? I think the next 2 stages are much easier to know what I'm looking for. Thanks, Green Hippo x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt Sally Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 We have it broken down for children with special needs as the following : I show an interest in that what I see, hear, smell, touch and feel I use body language, gestures, facial expression or words to indicate my personal satisfaction or frustration I discuss what I am doing giving a reason I show an interest in displayed collections I talk about the effects of different tools on the dough I state what I am going to paint I state what I am going to build I state what I am going to draw Hope that helps.

green hippo Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 Thanks, Aunt Sally, I like how you've broken it down. Do some of these statements refer to 30-50 months also as I think that some are a bit more than I would expect the children to be confident in as they start Nursery e.g. "talking about effects" or "indicating personal satisfaction or frustration"?.
