Hi, I have some trouble with my obs. I know that we have to do child led obs but mine all seem to be obs from activities i have planned. I just can not seem to get my head around just letting the children play and taking obs from that. I do planning every week for the theme we are doing (i know you do not have to do this for under 3's but I feel that it helps me with ideas and structures my week better).
With child led obs do I just say for instance
Z took the 4 piece puzzle out of the puzzle box and managed to join it together???
Next steps, introduce puzzle with more pieces??
Is that how it works???
I have been doing this for 2 years now and I still can not get to grips with it.
Also, with next steps should I be looking in the EYFS guide for the next age range for ideas, i.e if C can do something in 22-36 months I should look at 30-50 months for the next thing he should be able to do and incorporate it into his interests?? I hope I am making sense here, i just feel like i am going round in circles half the time with no idea if what I am doing is right or wrong.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks :(
