Scenario: Anshul's Tower - Linking Outcomes For His Learning
Posted: Wed Feb 11, 2015 3:12 pm
Hi everyone,
I really need a help with this case study
Anshul's Tower
Anshul, Adian and Jake (3 years 5 months) spent the morning and part of the afternoon working on their construction. As usual Anshul went straight to the blocks on arrival and started to work on his structure. It seems that Anshul always has a plan in mind and can't wait to get started!
Anshul was joined by Aidan and then Jake. Anshul quietly details what he is building to his peers. While Anshul continues to work on his plan he is happy to slow the other children to add their own ideas.
He asks questions and listens carefully as the other children explain their ideas. Occasionally he gives positive feedback. "that's good Aidan".
"I can make these cylinders balance", Anshul tells Aidan. It's interesting to see that Anshul has placed the larger cylinder on the smaller cylinder.
Anshul continually stands back to lol at his structure from different perspective. He looks carefully at the base of his structure and tells Jake that "the bottom part has to be flat".
When the boys had finished their construction the educator smiled and complimented their efforts "wow boys you've worked well together to build this fantastic tower". She also suggested to Anshul that he may like to attempt to draw his construction. Anshul draws on his experience in construction, his prior knowledge and concept development to create elaborate and sound structures. The educator later adds photos of his structure to Anshul's personal co construction log
book. Anshul is able to dictate what he wants the educator to write in the log book.
Questions :
1. The Early Years Learning Framework Learning Outcome 4: children are confident and involved learners, is demonstrated when
Anshul........
2. The Early Years Kearning Franrwork Learning Outcome 5: children are effective communicators, is demonstrated when Anshl.......
3. How has the educator demonstrated interest and enjoyment in Anshul's tower play?
4. Suggest one question that the educator could ask Anshul about his structure or construction techniques to promote and his cognitive learning?
Thanks guys
