Aims and Planning

For this visit, I planned to do some activities that are based on my FAR of play, at the end of my last visit I had asked Connor to think of or write down some fun playful activities that he likes to do so we can do them in this visit.

I’m guessing Connor will have chosen activities such as playing with cars, colouring and watching television. With this I can observe his fine and gross motor skills. I can also observe his listening skills once again and see if anything has changed, progressed or depleted in his development of any areas like any other visit. This visit will give me a chance to see Connor use more of his own opinions and more of his initiative hence intellectual development. This visit will also show me more about Connors independence as a young child. If Connor chooses to do some activities such as stacking building blocks then I can monitor and see how many bocks he can stack in a singular tower. If he chooses lego then I can see what he naturally decides to build and see how much of a creative instinct he has. Basically anything that he chooses to shows his imaginative thinking and creative thinking and even intellectual thinking because asking him to think of activities that he wants to do makes him think about all the different aspects of the activities he likes and why he will want to do them, making his mind work just by thinking of something fun to do.

Predictions and Expectations

I think that Connor will be developing well and that there won’t be much difference if any in his development from my last visit. I expect Connor will have chosen a variety of different activities to do with cars, trains, books, telly, colouring, puzzles and building blocks because in my other visits he has said how he likes them things a lot. I can ask him to make something or do something with the items he is playing with and show me what his favourite thing about that activity is and why he likes it which is sometimes the same thing. From general public comments I have heard that children 3years of age tend to have a short attention span but I have not experienced that as such with Connor yet. From Connors’ choice of activities I will be able to distinguish between his favourite and least favourite things to do, along side his opinions and views on those particular things. I have noticed and believe Connor is a bright young boy for his little age of three, he is confident in showing his opinions in different situations of activities so I think he will be fine in this sense.

Far Predictions

I think Connor will be okay with the questionnaire I had prepared and will answer all the questions well and without any fuss but with interest. I think Connors answers will be short but will make sense and would be expected of his age vocabulary. Depending on which ...
