Observation and analysisFocus Child’s/Children’s Name/s: Fanuel RajiDate: 15/10/2017What is the context? (Who is present, what are they doing, what happened prior to this etc. NOT MORE THAN 2-3 SENTENCES) I arrived at Fanuel’s home and found him playing his piano; his caretaker was guiding him in mastering of the simple rhythms. The parents were also present and were in the sitting room watching. Prior to this I had obtained the parents’ consent and scheduled the observation dateWhat did the child/children do? (Write a detailed observation, and/or include a photograph and/or a sample -e.g.writing or drawing - and how the child created the sample or what they were doing in the photograph). ONE OR TWO SHORT PARAGRAHSONLYI observed Fanuel paint one of the sketches in his drawing book alongside a son of their family friend that had visited while I was there. Fanuel took his friend and started showing him his nice paintings and invited him to paint the remaining part of the sketch. Fanuel really controlled the movement of his hands while drawing. He was also able to stand on one foot for about 15 seconds and was alternating his feet while coming downstairs as well as climbing up. While playing, he was very accurate while throwing the ball. Here also includedthe skills to care for self. For Fanuel, he was able to wash himself less the back regions and dressing up but needed help in fastening his buttons especially the small ones. He could comfortably take his meal on his own and after that brush his teeth. While performing these duties, I could see how he enjoyed doing them on his own. What learning/ development/dispositions/relationships/interactions did I observe? How does what is happening in this observation link to the Learning Outcomes in the Early Years Learning Framework? ONE to ONE AND A HALF , SHORT PARAGRAPHWith the help of the development checklist, I noted down the activities attempted and those mastered, with the aim of ascertaining the gross motor skills. To observe and learn the emotional and social development of Fanuel, I observed his tone of voice, facial expressions, and posture of the body. The first part I observed was how the child expressed his emotions, for instance when the caretaker wanted him to settle down and eat; he said that he wasn’t hungry and when the caretaker insisted, he frowned his face. Such a behavior showed that when his way is not obeyed, he becomes remorseful very first. Secondly, I observed Fanuel’s behavior with adults, other children, and visitors. Fanuel was comfortable associating with adults as long as there was the presence of an adult he is used to. He was also friendly to

other children older than him more so boys, for instance, a family friend came with their son and he gladly greeted him and started showing him his piano and paintings. This indicated that the child has self-esteem. The positive reaction of the Fanuel to the parents of the childand the child himself shows that Fanuel was cooperative and respectful. I also observed Fanuel while playing with the child of the family friend. I noticed that the most influential trait of the focus child was weak persistence, where he quickly gave up when he tried to arrange the stair patterns and was not working out. He is also egocentric because every time he wanted to lead the friend and could even grab the models to arrange them but when his friend threatened of withdrawing from the game, Fanuel could give up his position meaning he was also empathetic.What can I do to extend the child’s learning or development and/or to promote positive dispositions and/or build positive relationships and promote interactions? 3-5 SENTENCES- Organize trips for Fanuel to new places like parks, friends, and relatives so that he can continue to build the confidence. - Encourage him to never give up easily by always supporting him in whatever activities he engages in. -Foster the drawing and music skills by providing additional assignments and follow-up for the same. Advice his parents to take him to music classes on weekends. Planned learning experienceFocus Child’s/Other Children’s Name/s: Fanuel RajiDate: 15/10/2017What is the learning focus?
