AnonyMouse_30128 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 There are no statements for this age group....i would be looking at gross motor skills or emergent mark making Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_18910 Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 Thank you Finleysmaid I'm a reception teacher, I did a some internal moderation with our nursery. A lot of our children had been judged as being at 16-26 on entry in September. I thought that this was too low for the majority of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_18910 Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 On entry for nursery. 17/22 we recorded at 16-26 mths for writing. I just thought it a little odd to have so many children at that stage. I'm not in that class so It's tricky to say without know the children. so I was looking for a little help.

I'm not in that class so It's tricky to say without know the children. so I was looking for a little help. i would expect a proportion to be at 22-36 months as this is their chronological age...most of my 2 and a half year olds would be mark making and using large hand and arm movements (in action songs/physical/ribbon dancing etc!) perhaps the feeder setting is looking for use of pencils/drawing tools only? this would be inappropriate for this age group IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_18910 Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 Thank you so much for your advice, I was of the same opinion as you. I think you're right regarding the nursery expectation. I've been in reception for so long now that I wasn't 100% confident that I was right. Thank you Finleysmaid. Have a great weekend. Thank you and have a lovely weekend. x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_67152 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Totally agree with Finleysmaid - sorting with fine motor pincer grip, pegging, mark making with fingers in wet/dry media, threading - ooh I could go on and on and on but don't want to bore you!! I had an interesting conversation with my sister in law who was asking my advice regarding getting my nephew (just 2) to start to write. When I spoke to her about the sort of things he liked to do and suggested a few things her response was but you haven't even mentioned a pencil - which kind of says it all really!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_3307 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Going into a nursery class children are typically term after 3rd birthday so really I would pitch 30 - 50 as a typical stage of development given the majority would be 36+ months and could be even 40+months if a september 3 and starting in Jan. Sometimes giving meaning to marks as they draw and paint and ascribes meanings to marks that they see in different places is what I would typically expect if they have had a rich experience prior to starting in Nursery. If the nursery is saying 16 - 26 they are in effect saying the cildren are possibly developmentally a year behind where they would typically be. Are they really operating in a similar way to 2 yr olds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19802 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 A bit of creative scribble? Making marks in different media? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
