Hi , need to pick someones brain. We have had a challenging bunch this year , very immature , not ready till now for anything except free flow play and one to one focus activities with key workers.

Hi all, Just wanted to know how you all do observations on the children when they are doing a focused activity with you. We find it hard to do both. Do you have a simple tick list. Trying to do the activity with the children and write obs on them is difficult. Such as they can use scissors etc. Any suggestions. Thank you Dorinda
