The document discusses early childhood education and care schemas which are ways children make sense of their world. It lists several schemas including transporting, positioning, orientation, dynamic movement, containment, and ordering. Schemas help young children understand concepts like movement, space, and relationships through play, exploration, and everyday experiences.

Editor's Notes
- #2 Photos from Microsoft Online, Education Image Gallery and Education Media Online through JISC.
- #3 Children transfer objects from one place to another often using trundle trolleys, buggies and buckets.
- #7 Child focuses on the position of things or themselves- Above, below, beside
- #11 Child sees things from a different perspective-Upside down/from inside a box/tent or tunnel/ from above/from below.
- #15 Child uses DAB when making patterns with blobs of colour/ patterns on clothes /splashes of colour
- #19 Children are interested in climbing up/stepping down and lying flat. This schema may also be exhibited in graphically in drawings and other art work.
- #23 Child is fascinated with things that move through the air- balls, beanbags, planes, gliders etc. Diagonality-usually explored later. slides, chutes, slopes, ramps, zigzags, roof, triangles.
- #27 Children put objects inside and outside of containers e.g. buttons in boxes, pennies in buckets.
- #28 What might they put inside this box?
- #29 What other objects might go in a bucket?
- #31 Child builds enclosures with Stickle bricks, lines and pencils and often ‘encloses’ objects therein e.g. farm animals, cars. Drawings may have a perimeter line.
- #32 Building / surrounding with bricks
- #35 Child wraps up items. Sometimes she may even wrap up herself! May use material, clothes, paper and in drawing may cover painting in a ‘wash.’
- #39 a) Semi-circularity-uses these shapes in pictures- happy smile, rainbows, umbrellas and may attempt some letters of the alphabet b) Core radials-central shape with extensions e.g. spiders, sun, fingers.
- #43 Child is fascinated by things that turn-washing machine, wheels, whisks and may make things that turn using junk materials .e.g. windmills
- #48 Materials are joined together by gluing, taping, tying etc. Opposite if this is Separation where child disconnects parts of objects.
