AnonyMouse_4562 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Hi, Just wondering if others find the aspect: 'Being Creative - Responding to experiences, expressing and communicating ideas' difficult to judge which age and stage children are in, especially the 22-23month age and stage? I find the LLN bit not very helpful as when I read it I can think of times when my 14 month old has responded in the way it suggests and I don't think he's particularly advanced!! What sort of things do you look for? I think the next 2 stages are much easier to know what I'm looking for. Thanks, Green Hippo x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_5013 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 We have it broken down for children with special needs as the following : I show an interest in that what I see, hear, smell, touch and feel I use body language, gestures, facial expression or words to indicate my personal satisfaction or frustration I discuss what I am doing giving a reason I show an interest in displayed collections I talk about the effects of different tools on the dough I state what I am going to paint I state what I am going to build I state what I am going to draw Hope that helps.

AnonyMouse_4562 Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 Thanks, Aunt Sally, I like how you've broken it down. Do some of these statements refer to 30-50 months also as I think that some are a bit more than I would expect the children to be confident in as they start Nursery e.g. "talking about effects" or "indicating personal satisfaction or frustration"?.
