Assessment 1 –LEARNING EXPERIENCE PLAN

Child’s name/s Age/s Date and Time: Bec Wild - SCU Student at Willunga Preschool
Maple (FC) and anyone else who would like 4 and 5 years Monday 20th May
to join in - Blue Group 2021
Aim/objective: To build relationships with children and engage them in discussions about the Kimochi’s characters and feelings. Maple really likes the Kimochi’s characters and I
would like her to start to build a trusting relationship with me.
Rationale: Teachers have mentioned that Maple [FC] enjoys someone reading books to her and the ECW Student Jo has found that Maple connected with her in this way. They are
encouraging her to use the Kimochi’s to help build respectful relationships with other children at Kindy as she has struggled to do that so far.

Setting and timing : Morning or afternoon playtime. Timing is flexible.

Assessment & Reflection on practice

Record what happened:
Maple asked Jo (Student) to read her a book, Jo was busy with another child so I offered to read the book to Maple. She was hesitant but said that would be okay. A few other
children joined us on the couch (near the folders/pictures) and I asked Maple to select a book. She chose the book about Bug, I read it and then asked Maple some questions.

I asked Maple if she likes Lovely Dove - she said no.

She chose to take Clover home.
She thinks she is most like Bug.

Shel likes playing inside and having educators read books to her.
Told me that she likes Where’s Wally books.
She is interested in a treasure hunt.
I asked her who her friends are she said Nixon and Indigo (which are the children who were standing next to her).

She said when she is not at kindy she likes playing with Mum and Dad and friends, she couldn’t name any friends.
She goes to child care in Willunga - she said she likes playing with friends but couldn’t say what she plays.
TV Shows: Bluey, fruit bats, easter, used to watch an ipad but it is not there anymore
Likes dressing up: Batman, Elsa, dancing to elsa, sandpit, swing, climbing, lego building
