PLANNING and ORGANISATION
1) I will take TC into the garden and kick a ball around with her, if the weather is nice enough
2) I will then push some toys with her, still in the garden
3) Then we will sit down and do some drawing and colouring
4) Then we can go inside and I will ask TC to build a big tower of bricks for me
The Essay on The Way To Gather Information Is Through Observation Observation Of
The way to gather information is through observation. Observation of child while he is at home, play or classroom during unstructured free time is the best way to see what kinds interest he gain from nearby, as well as what skills the child has. The rating score is created to know his ability. The observation leads to interpretation. Child himself interpret his key experiences about the thing ...
5) I can then ask TC to choose a book to read, and ask her about the pictures in the book
6) Then I will get photos of her family and ask TC who the people are in the pictures
For this I will need a ball, TC’S Barbie car, toy bricks, paper and pencils/crayons, TC’S favourite book, Princess stories and some photos of her family.

The OBSERVATION
When I opened the gate into the front garden, TC and her sister were already there. TC was very shy, TC hid her face in her sister and didn’t want to say hello. TC forgot I was there and carried on play
