I am quiet happy doing my observations now (another one has finally gotten their head around linking to EYFS & next steps:D - well most of the time:laughing: ).
BUT - I am a little confused as to what type of ob I should be doing sometimes. That probably makes no sense so will try & explain better.
This month I have already done 2 detailed written up observations. Both times I have done full ones as mindee had done something for either the 1st time (wow moment) or the 2nd ob was because she had finally grasped something that we had been working on.
Now today we have been talking about our bodies - where is your head? Where is your eyes? etc & again she is now able to show me the majority of body parts I ask her about.
Now I could go on & write this as another full observation, which I don't mind, but am concerned that I am maybe going to end up with to many full on observations.
I have a page in her folder that has post it note on, when I have noted just little things, but I do tend to write a more detailed ob instead.
How do you actually write your obs - am I on the right track or should I maybe try & simplify it ??
