Two year old Khloe enjoys spending time outdoors at the nursery exploring her physical skills. She has a hearing impairment and has recently had cochlea implants put in both ears.

Notice

• What cues can you see that show what Khloe is interested in? (Look out for non-verbal, gestures and body language)
• How is Khloe learning? Which areas of development, engagement and characteristics of learning can you observe?
• In what ways does the adult support Khloe’s communication?
• How does the environment support Khloe’s learning?

Reflect

What are your thoughts about:

• The value of this type of physical play for Khloe?
• Khloe’s level of development?
• How Khloe was trying to communicate?
• The role of the adult in this interaction – how did she support Khloe?

Respond

What would you do to:

• Support Khloe’s communication development?
• Encourage other children to join Khloe’s game?
• Extend Khloe’s learning – e.g. encouraging the two girls to continue playing together?

What next:

• Can all of the children in your setting access the outdoors and have space to develop their physical skills fully?
• Could you help children to understand other children’s specific needs with communication?
