Conversation with peers Scroll to learning area

Observe several scenarios throughout the day that occur during play with two 2 year olds at an outdoor, EY setting. Observe how conflict arises and negotiation is needed.

Good for looking at:

• Social and emotional development
• Conflict and negotiation
• Self regulation
• Friendships
• Communication
• Speech and language development

Notice

• What cues can you see that show what the children are interested in? (Look out for non-verbal and body language as well as spoken language)
• How are the children learning?
• Which areas of development, engagement and characteristics of learning can you observe?
• How do the environment and materials support the children’s learning?
