Task-

This assessment item requires you to observe one child aged up to five years engaged in solitary or group play, with or without adult participation. These observations will be used to write two learning stories - one science-focused and one mathematics-focused. These two learning stories form the assessable component of this task.

Here are the steps you need to undertake in order to complete this task:

1. Select one child (aged up to five years) to focus on for this task, and carry out a series of observations of the child engaged in solitary or group play, with and/or without adult participation. These observations will need to be recorded by any means approved within the setting (e.g. photographs, video, running record). Three or more observations may be required, each no longer than 10-15 minutes. Before you observe children, you must gain permission from the parent and carer. An information sheet and consent form are provided on the Interact site. NOTE: The observations are not an assessable component of the task, and do not need to be submitted. They simply need to be undertaken in order to complete the assessable component (the learning stories).

2. Select two observations to develop into learning stories. One must be science-focused while the other must be mathematics-focused. You also need to think about the child's use of technology.

3. Write one learning story for each of the two selected observations. Each learning story should be no more than 1000 words. Your learning stories must be written in a way that you would share with early childhood colleagues; that is, they should be written in an academic manner, utilising appropriate literature. However, at the end of your learning story there are sections directed towards the parents/carers and the child (see points below), and these should be written in a more "friendly" manner. This will give you practice in writing learning stories for different audiences.

Each learning story must address the following points:

Describe the context, i.e. the child's age, where the observation took place, what activity the child was involved in, and who else took part (150 words).

Describe the scientific/mathematical processes evident in the child's play. You must refer to Bishop's mathematical activities in your mathematics story and the 5Es science model in your science story (250 words).

Identify the child's use of technology in their play, and describe how that technology supported their mathematical/scientific learning (100 words).

Describe how the physical and social environment has supported the child in their learning, using at least two references to support your ideas. This must include reflection on social constructivism and the role of any adults or peers involved in the play (200 words).

Identify which EYLF outcome/s the child is working towards and how this is evident. Also consider how you might extend the child to further develop the outcome/s (100 words).

Write a paragraph to the parents/carers explaining the mathematics/science their child appears to be exploring, and what they could do at home to build on this learning (100 words).

Write a paragraph to the child to provide feedback to them on their development as a mathematics/science learner (100 words).
