1. Choose one child aged between 4-7 years then:
a) Use the format to observe how this child approaches the task of cutting with scissors. You should complete four observations.(Template on next page)
b) Write a summary of what you have noticed about children’s cutting skills:
• Try to notice whether children:
- open/close their hands
- use a leading hand to hold & move paper
- isolate fingers so that ring & little finger do not move
- look at what they are doing - hand-eye co-ordination
- have stable wrist, elbow, shoulder
- are they cutting thumb up (not facing floor)
• How do children approach the task?
• Can you notice any planning skills being used
• Do children look to others for clues?
• Use dominant hand or swap hands?
• What are the common difficulties?
c) From your observations, outline four possible intentional teaching experiences to develop this child’s fine motor skills.
d) Plan 2 of the above experiences that focus on the use of scissors or fine motor skills to support later scissor use such as games with tweezers or tongs, tearing, fringing etc.
NOTE: Do not use stencils or activity sheets
e) Use the planning format to record:
- the skill - such as squeezing, finger isolation, stability, hand-eye coordination etc
- the task – such as fringing, snipping, picking up small items with tweezers etc.
- the resources you plan to use
f) Write an evaluation each of the 2 experiences and make any necessary adjustment to your plan.
g) At the conclusion of the two experiences suggest follow-up strategies

Today I noticed river tried to cut paper in circle shapes. She was feeling hard to cut the paper with scissor. She has stable wrist and shoulder. She said I want to make house today. she tried to cut the paper in house shape.
Date:
Today she was more confident and excited to cut paper in round face. She draw a face with pencil and said that funny face for my happy house. She didn’t look other kids for clues. She said I love to cut the corner of paper. I asked what you are trying to make. She said that’s my shady tree.

Summary of what you noticed
I noticed that river is so much confident in using scissor. She cut paper in round shape and said it s big volcano and a big warm fire coming out of it. She was moving paper now and even cut paper in zigzag shape and try to flower and said I show to my mummy. Now she can open and close scissor and tried to cut paper in shape such as triangle and square.
Four possible intentional teaching experiences:
1. I tried to teach her how to hold scissor because she tried to put the whole fingers on one side of scissor.
2. I will tried to give her shapes and asked her to cut the paper according to shape such as round, square and triangle.
3. I will give her tongs so she could learn opening and closing of scissor.
4. I will extend her interest by showing her example of cutting paper and so she can try the same and it will develop her encouragement.
