Four observations I have carried out in my setting in the preschool room are on four children aged between 4-5
*My first observation was on a child called Molly. Molly was asked what does a builder do and she said they build houses and use screws.
*my second observation was on a child named Christopher. Christopher built a motorbike out of mega duplo blocks and said he is going to ride it.
*my third observation was on a child named Kyra. Kyra was sitting down doing her father's day card and as she was writing the letter 'D', she said D is for daddy
*my fourth observation was on a child named Veikko. Veikko was in the back garden and had said to his peer ''I have petrol''. when asked what was the petrol for, Veikko replied: '' for the car to make it go''.
