Part 1
Key elements of one child’s learning
I have followed the ethical guideline and obtained the child's permission through age appropriate conversation, as it states in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC 1989) in Study Topic 5 (p.117) 'This is an international agreement protecting children's rights'.Which means that children are to be treated as an individual person and not to be ignored. I have also obtained permission from parents through the ethical guideline which detailed the reasons why observation was being carried out and what will be involved. And the child or the parents involved will be able to withdraw from the activities and observation at any time. I will change the name of the learner to maintain confidentiality, protect identity and anonymity. I will observe Sara over the course of 5 days and the focus of my observation will be learning development in the area of personal, social and motional development and, communication and language. I will be using the early Years Foundation Stage (DfES EYFS 2007) curriculum which states 'provides the frame work and guidance for practitioners' to achieve the 6 area of learning and development outcome.

This showed me Laila understood word formation. By
