The Child Study data I have gathered comes from the observation I have completed at Mission Bell Elementary School. Mission Bell Elementary School is a local school in Riverside. In the P.M preschool class there are 24 students, one teacher, and one assistant. The child I decided to observe is names Zoe. Zoe is 4 years and 10 months old. I immediately was drawn to Zoe because she had such a big personality, was very social, and smart.

While observing her I had to pay close attention to her biosocial development, motor skills, cognitive skills, communication skills,

A two year assessment is carried out between the ages of two and three. Parents/carers/guardians are provided with a short written summary of the child’s development in the prime areas. Within the progress

1.1. When assessing development some factors need to be taken into account one of these is confidentiality, this means that you will need permission from a child’s parents/carers before doing observations, also when information is wrote down about a child is important that it is kept in a safe place were only the relevant people can access it. Also making sure that information about a child is only shared with parents/carers or colleagues and professionals that have the right to know.

The child may not want to be assessed at

The teacher starts the activity by explaining to the children what they are going to do, and the instructions for the activity. She tells them that they are going to make puffy paint with shaving cream, glue, and food coloring. She says the instructions for the activity are the following. 1) Only four children doing the activity at a time. 2) Everyone needs to wear a smock. 3) You can paint whatever you want, but try not to mix the paint brushes in with different colors. 4) You do not have to paint if you do not want to.
