Observations of the children. All children are observed regularly to gain information about the children’s progress in different areas of their development. These include – social, emotional, language, fine motor skills, gross motor skills and cognitive abilities. This assists the teacher in determining what experiences and activities to plan for the children. Activities are based on the children’s needs, interests and abilities. They are also planned to assist children in learning certain skills, to strengthen certain areas of development and to challenge children.
We use a variety of observation methods anecdotal records, running records, checklists, sociograms, photos and copies of the children’s artwork.
Parents are able to access their child’s records at all times. If parents have any concerns about their child, please make an appointment with the teacher to discuss your child’s progress. An opportunity for a formal interview is available towards the end of term 2.
