Collecting and Observing Children's Behaviour, Learning and Play

Collating information
Provide an example of where you have collected and documented observations of children behaviour, learning and play preferences, for at least three different children
What I have got so far-
unsure-
Does this mean that you obverse three children of doing something like sharing with another child, interacting with another child and make a observation of what you have seen and heard?

Yes, I think you're on the right track! You also need to observe the behaviour of a child...

Hope this helps,

In the question its asks about "children behaviour"... so you would probably need to include an observation on a child's behaviour...

Would this mean you ask a child to pack up the trains and the child gets upset so they start throwing the trains around the room?

Would that be a observation on child 1
Then child 2 could be about sharing a book with another child
Child 3 could be about a child taking another toy off another child?

For behaviour it could be anything... A child not listening, a child interrupting when others a talking, a child pushing. For learning and play preferences it means a child choosing what to do during play. For example: a child in the sandpit chooses to play with the trucks rather than the buckets and spades, or a child getting a book off the bookshelf for the educator to read...

So does that mean you chose one child not listening
Child 2 playing in the sandpit with a bucket not a shovel
Child 3 pushing another child
And what else do I need to add in this question so I don't really understand it that well

Yes, you just need an example of observations on a child displaying a type of behaviour and then 2 children play preferences...

So does this mean for a child 1-
Child 1- A child not listening
At group time all of the children sat on the mat and the teacher was reading the cat in the hat book and a child was playing with the blocks near by and didn't listen to the story at group time.
Then could you just pick a photo under this to back it up?
Child 2- The child walked over to the sandpit and collected a bucket out of the tub and used his hand to full up the bucket instead of using a shovel
Then would you just put a photo under then to back it up
Child 3- A child walked over to the book shelf and collect a book off the shelf and said to the teacher can you read this so the teacher sat on the couch with the child and read the book
and then just put a photo on under this to back it up?

They are very simple observations. You may need to add more details to them.

For example - for the child not listening: "the teacher called Jack to come and listen to the story, no I dont want to I'm playing here - Jack said. You can play with that after the story - the teacher replied. I don't like that it too long - Jack commented..."

Hope this helps,
