The Observation Story template is to use when observing a child. Once the observation has been documented, you will need to interpret the observation you have written. This means you basically have to make meaning of the child’s learning and understanding through what you have observed. The Observation Story template also enables Educators to plan and evaluate extension experiences which shows the planning cycle of observing, analysing, planning, implementing and reflecting.
This template includes:
- Child's Name
- Date

- Educator Story
