W e quietly feed some hungry birds, looked for the kangaroos.At the letterbox we talked to delivery man bringing appliances to neighbour, we brought home a dryer box for a new cubby.parent was delayed on collection so only brief chat at collection(parent had just driven back from New castle) .. |
| SO WHAT? Ask deeper questions to better understand what happened. | today child slept three hours so was catching up from physical weekend.only one child so focus on improving this child's sense of belonging . no feedback from family on this occasion.We read lots of stories including acting out mr McGee goes to sea a favourite and we sing old Mikamba had a farm .being responsive to child 's' energy level allows most activities to suit child 's temperament on the day. Each days activities are written on a chalk board next to sign in desk. Taking a flexible approach means the child is leading and not expected todo things too tired to complete. |
| WHAT NEXT? Consider what improvements to make and take action. | I will continue taking my direction from child as they can express what they are interested in.do not feel research will explain changeable nature of this child,'s temperament I .can leave my thoughts in diary or share with sibling who runs a not for profit preschool.
