I did an observation where my 3yr old mindee used a watering can to make water go down a gutter and into a small baby bath, she then watered some plants.

So far I've got:

PSED- Talked about looking after plants and that they need water
CLL-L said the plants were thirsty
PSR&N- L helped to set up the guttering
KUW- How plants grow, water always goes downhill because of gravity
PD- Lifting and carrying watering cans, carefully tipping the water out (gross motor control)
CD- Creating a structure (the guttering)

Is this enough or am I missing some other things? :)

Not ignoring you - I just do my linking differently... Looks fine to me though!!!! Out of interest what are your next steps going to be?

Thanks! I'm thinking of rolling balls down the guttering or toy cars, moving the guttering around so that it waters the plants instead of using the watering cans.
Suppose it sounds a bit daft :rolleyes:

Sounds great - make sure you write down your ideas for next steps, you could perhaps say why = e,g using cars to count, balls for colour recognition and so on?

sounds like lots of fun!
linking like that is much simpler than my version ,feel another change coming on!
like the others have said maybe just add a next step - like adding food colouring to the water so she can see it running more easily , or adding in balls etc , or using guttering with the play sand.
Are you all ready for tomorrow? Good Luck , you'll be great!!

i know what you mean. i went to bed than got up at 130am and did another couple of hours paperwork! - then got up again at 530! there were still things i would like to have got done , but then there always will be!! Have a glass or 2 bfore bed tonight so you'll sleep properly and be all refreshed for tomorrow! At least its almost over - you've been waiting ages with it hanging over you!
