Entry 1 –
Video one –
‘Lilu smiles when she is out the front of her kindy, she opens the gate door with on her own by using her feet to lean up and he hands and arms to unlock and open the gate.’
‘Lilu walks into her kindy room with her father and joins a group of children, talks and says ‘we can all be our friends’ Lilu and the other children laugh and hug each other.’
‘Lilu observes the other children, starts to jump with excitement, turns to her parents and smile’.
Video two –
‘Lilu is waiting at the fence to say goodbye to her father, Lilu’s face is pressed against the fence – her father walks past the fence, Lilu leans against the fence and asks ‘one more kiss?’ whilst smiling. Lilu asks her father ‘dad you going to pick me up, um, um, more early then last time? Her father replies ‘yep at 4.30’. Lilu repeats and says ‘4.30’
Interpretation, including developmental skills, concepts and dispositions/links to theory –
• Lilu’s gross and fine motor skills are well developed when she uses the strength in her legs and feet to lean up to the gate and also uses her pincer grip to unlock the gate and her palmer grasp to hold on and push the gate open. (Physical domain)
• Lily shows dispositions of confidence and engagement with other children. (Social and Emotional domain)
• Lilu shows great communication skills whilst talking to other children and her father. Lilu is demonstrating improvement with her grammar and English skills and how words and sentences should sound ‘we can all be our friends’. (Communication domain)
• Lilu demonstrates understanding of separation, when her father drops her off at kindy. The conversations said between her and her father demonstrate that Lilu understands that her family will consistently return at the end of each day – that the relationships that Lilu has created with her family provides her with the confidence and the ability to create relationships in kindy with other children and educators and she expresses/understands her feelings when saying goodbye. (Emotional domain) John Bowlby, attachment theory.
