Write an Observation Post

An Observation is a type of post with additional fields to include a title, observation date and times, as well as an evaluation and 'where to next'.

The purpose of writing an Observation is to build a better understanding of children's skills, interests, and abilities with a specific focus on their actions/behaviour (e.g. "At 10 am, Johnny picked up the pencil with his left hand, held the paper down with his right hand and begun to fill in the outline of the picture.")
