Rolling, pulling, squeezing, pushing and squishing too much clay on the table.

Rolling clay shows how Sophia is interested in learning.

This shows she is alert

Scooping the clay from the tin with a scooper often.

This shows Sophia is aware of what she is doing.

Crying when Nicholas takes away her clay tin

This means that she is alert and focused as she knows the tin belongs to her

Tasting clay with her mouth

This means Sophia is curious. She want to know better by tasting.

Part Two – Reflection

The developmental information learnt about Sophia is as follows. First lesson is that the rolling and squeezing of the clay enhances muscle development of both the hands and fingers. The second lesson is that clay class enhances creativity. This was observed when Sophia tried to mold different shapes that she didn’t even understand. Creativity begins that way; when someone is not sure but she hopes for good results in the end (Mamatov, 2019). Another lesson is that clay class promotes hand and eye coordination. This was observed when Sophia tried to cry after Nicholas took her tin and scooper away. It means that Sophia was keen and alert. She knew that those tools were for her to use. Clay class also builds attention among children. Sophia was attentive to what she was doing with her clay. This developmental information can be used to create learning goals for the child in the following ways. First way is through identifying level of knowledge the child can have. This can help set goals for her learning. Last way is through repeat and repeat. The information obtained not only focuses on Sophia, but the whole class.
