Observations is about watching children's actions, expressions, gestures and behaviour and listening to them talk and interact. It is the responsibility of all practitioners to not important information about all the childrens learning as it is presented. All children have different relationships with different adults and through observation, each adult will bring an individual perspective to the assessment process for a particular child.

It is important that observations are made because it’s helpful when it comes to us understanding more about the child, how they prefer to play, how they learn for example; remembering things, and how they interact with others. All of these things are a part of the child’s development and by observing them you get to see how they are progressing based on the early year’s foundation stages guidelines. ]]> 2016-10-05 08:25:03 UTC https://padlet.com/helen_clarke2/obsv35w4sad5/wish/128405962 https://padlet.com/helen_clarke2/obsv35w4sad5/wish/128406238 you can learn about patterns in their behaviour]]> 2016-10-05 08:26:35 UTC https://padlet.com/helen_clarke2/obsv35w4sad5/wish/128406238 how they respond to interaction, how their skills are developing, learn about their friendship groups or what interests them, to make sure they are reaching targets and goals and their behaviour patterns https://padlet.com/helen_clarke2/obsv35w4sad5/wish/128406241 http://www.nurseryworld.co.uk/nursery-world/news/1102493/observing-children]]> 2016-10-05 08:26:36 UTC https://padlet.com/helen_clarke2/obsv35w4sad5/wish/128406241 https://padlet.com/helen_clarke2/obsv35w4sad5/wish/128406894 you can discover their interests through observation]]> 2016-10-05 08:29:20 UTC https://padlet.com/helen_clarke2/obsv35w4sad5/wish/128406894 https://padlet.com/helen_clarke2/obsv35w4sad5/wish/128406986 By observing children, you can discover a different side to them. I.e. with covert observation you can discover their personality when they are comfortable in the surroundings, and with direct observation you are getting involved with the individuals. These are both ways of recording development, and also seeing their likes and interests first hand.

•They have to be reliable and accurate and should be based primarily on the practitioner’s knowledge of the child, gained by observation and interaction in a range of daily activities and events.
•A well-thought-through pedagogy must be in place so that the provision enables each child to demonstrate their learning and development fully.
•Practitioners should be looking for evidence of ‘embedded learning’ – this is identified by assessing what a child can do consistently and independently in a range of everyday situations.
•An effective assessment should present a holistic view of a child’s learning and development.
•Accurate assessments need to include contributions from a range of perspectives including the child (whenever possible), their parents and other relevant adults.

It is an essential part of the assessment and planning cycle and a strong basis for reflection. Observation requires carefully monitoring children's actions, expressions, gestures and behaviours, and listening to their talk and interactions. Sometimes it may include joining in with their play or conversations and sometimes asking and responding to questions. https://padlet.com/helen_clarke2/obsv35w4sad5/wish/128408278 http://www.nurseryworld.co.uk/nursery-world/news/1102493/observing-children]]> 2016-10-05 08:35:45 UTC https://padlet.com/helen_clarke2/obsv35w4sad5/wish/128408278 https://padlet.com/helen_clarke2/obsv35w4sad5/wish/128408762 Observing a child in early years is also important because an individual can track their Physical, Intellectual, Emotional and Social development so individuals can make sure they’re on track with their development.

Observing children in early years is important because when listening and watching them you find out how they’re developing, they learn through play. It’s important because parents or practitioners know what stage of development they are at, resources such as toys and equipment which can help them learn new skills and new knowledge.

Observing children is also important as children have different talents and abilities. You can also see what their interests are and what they choose to do and what resources they like to use this is also a learning curve for the parents as they begin to understand their likes and dislikes.
