Time: 8:00 am

During the morning drop off time I spoke with Andre's mom. I asked her if she is not in hurry, I'd like to ask her some questions about Andre and she said, "she is not in rush, we can talk". I asked her about Andre's favourite toys to play with at home and his other interests. She told me Andre like to play with Cars. He would spend a lot of time rolling the cars back and forth while lying down on the ground. She told me Andre also likes to read books and enjoys looking at the pictures in books. She said he usually repeats the words when they read books together. I then asked her about Andre's social interactions at home apart from his parents and grandparents. She told me Andre do not have any siblings or cousins to involve in social interaction. He plays by himself with his toys at home. Andre sometimes visits local park with his grandparents.

Time: 2:00 pm

I decided to discuss the information I gathered from Andre's mom with the Room Leader. I spoke with the room leader about my conversation with Andre's mom. I told her I asked few questions to Andre's mother about how he is at home and what are his interests and what does he enjoy playing with. I told the room leader I got to know what Andre is like at home, but I was curious to find out about his interactions with his peers and educators at day care as well as his interests. what does he enjoy most. I also asked the room leader if she thinks that Andre needs any developmental support. According to the room leader, Andre likewise spends the most of his indoor time at day care in the transport area. She mentioned that although he usually plays by himself, but he can follow instructions during transitions such as putting away his belonging. She also mentioned that Andre mostly watches or observe other children playing or engaging in activity. However, if a child or Educator approaches or encourages him to join, he often refuses to do so. According to the room leader Andre has strong relationships with his educators. He would call his educators name and likes to hold hands and sit with them. The room leader told me that Andre needs support with his language development and self-regulation skills. She said that on occasions when Andre is upset or wants to play with a specific toy but is unable to, he can throw things onto the floor, such as if he has his piglet with him, he will throw piglet on floor in an act of anger and starts crying. She also said that Andre needs support with his social skills because does not play along any children or engages in any group activities. He prefers to spend time with his educators or play by himself.

After the drop off Andre got upset and started crying. One of the educator comforts him and Andre asks the educator to pick him up. He repeatedly says, "Cuddle, Cuddle". The educator picks him up and Andre stops crying while resting on to the educator's shoulder. After a while Educator asks Ander if he would like to read books? Andre says, "yes". Andre sits next to educator on floor and read books together.

Educator asks Andre to come for nappy change Andre puts aways his book and walks toward the toilet for his nappy change. Educator asks Andre, "Did you do Poo"? Andre says, "No Poo, No Poo". Educator asks Andre, "would you like to sit on the toilet? Andre nodded his head". After sitting on the toilet Andre washed his hands and kept talking in mandarin.

But the educator asks him to pack away his piglet in his locker. Andre does not want to pack away his piglet. The educator explains to Andre that it is morning teatime no toys on the table. But Andre still refuses to pack away his toy. Andre throws himself on the ground and started crying.

After the morning tea it was time for outdoor free play. The educators call all the children to get ready to go outside. The educator begins to sing the poem "Head shoulder knees and toes" and Andre repeats the poem after the educator. The educator then asks children, "Do you have hat on your head? If you don't, please go and get your hat and then educator asks if you don't have shoes on, please go and get your shoes too". Andre runs to his locker to grab his hat and shoes to go outside. Andre wants to bring his piglet outside, but the educator asks him to put the piglet in is locker. Andre does not want to put piglet in his locker. The educator tells Andre that he doesn't need his piglet outside, piglet is for sleep time, and we have many toys outside which he can play with. Andre refuses to pack away his piglet.

The educator then takes him inside the pre-school room, where Andre has spotted a tiny green car. He picks up the car asks to go out again. Andre takes the car to the sandpit and starts digging a hole in the sand using a shovel. He hides the green car in the hole and covers it with sand. He then did the digging again and found the hidden car and he said, "found the car" and starts laughing. Andre continues to do so for few minutes and then a child came in and took the shovel from Andre. Andre started crying and seek support from his educator. The educator asks Andre, "why is he crying"?
