Learning & Development: Schemas - part 4 - Observing ... Leon

One boy's schemas are observed by Daryl Ormond, a family worker at Pen Green Nursery, Corby.

I first met Leon on a home visit in August 2008, when he was almost three years old and about to join the nursery. His parents, Kinga and Szymon, had moved to England from Poland in 2004 and Kinga, at that time, was offering language support in the Pen Green nursery.

Kinga told me that Leon loved to play with cars, blocks and trains, enjoyed sand and water play and was interested in watching the moving parts of machinery, in particular looking at the printing machinery at his Grandma's office and using real tools to help his Daddy. I wondered if Leon could have an interest in a rotation schema.
