Jo43 Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Can someone give examples of what a child might say which refers to this statement please. 40-60+ months Extends vocabulary, especially by grouping and naming, exploring the meaning of new words.
Rufus Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 The other day I worked with a group of children to make an obstacle course. The next day one of the children took the lead and showed his friends how to make an 'octopus' course. He used different positional language and talked about using "equipment" such as mats, benches, hoops etc. new words that he was understanding and using in context. 2
Guest Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 I have just looked on my school tracking system which offers examples of DM statements in 'child speak'. This is how it is interpreted: 'I am able to correctly use the many new words and sound I have learnt'
skippy Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Hi Devonmaid I like the way its written in child speak. I wondered where I could find a copy of this? 2
Joanne123 Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 "Child speak", this would be such a help in explaining to my unsure staff and students.
Jo43 Posted March 22, 2014 Author Posted March 22, 2014 Hi DevonMaid Could I please have a copy too. Thank you
Joanne123 Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 Tried to edit my last post, but couldn't for some reason! But would really appreciate a copy....if possible. Thank you
eyfs1966 Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 if not too cheeky, me too! Some of the statements as written are just so ambigulous
Guest Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 hi I would also be interested in a copy of this too please thank you
laurencoley Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 This sounds like it would be really useful! Please could I have a copy too?
Guest Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 sorry but am I able to have a copy too, some of my staff assess so differently, I would really like a tool to use with them all
Guest Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Can I copy everyone else and get a copy too. Thank you so much, it's so kind of you for sharing! x

finleysmaid Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 little ob from today for OP we have been having a paper aeroplane week (and helicopters/etc etc) including races we talked about the children leaving their planes in the hanger/refuelling /cargo/ and launching etc the children have continued to use these words in the correct context and have been able to explain what they meant to others

finleysmaid Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 They could have used 'our new words' from this week which were 'swoop and soar' - this in the context of birds flying!!! oh thats reminds me of the bit in owl babies " she swooped soft and silent through the trees" ....lovely alliteration! 1
sunnyday Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 We were lucky enough to be able to watch two 'pigeon releases' this week - lovely suggestions from the children about what might be in the baskets (!) also able to link these words with group story 'In the Nest' - love these totally unplanned moments! :1b Yes, I love that line from Owl Babies and never manage to say it without arms outstretched!
Jo43 Posted March 28, 2014 Author Posted March 28, 2014 First thank you all for your replies. I now understand most of the statement. It's just the grouping part. I am still unsure about.
Cait Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) How about collective nouns for that? She saw a flock of sheep or a herd of cows? These are all phrases we say to children that they learn and repeat Edited March 28, 2014 by Cait
