Infant
Completed: April 2018
RECEs: Nancy, Shannon, Melody and Kate
Objectives: To explore different items that we can see our reflection in and where the reflection comes from.
The educators observed the children’s sense of wonder as they explored the mirrors that were everywhere; on the walls, on the floor, in bins and in the hands of the infants. These new reflective toys were brought into the infant room in December 2017 when Santa came for a visit, and left the infant room with new reflective toys.
Based on our observations, the infants have some knowledge and awareness about reflection. They know they can see themselves in mirrors, the mirror balls and mirror pebbles, and that the reflection they see is themselves. When they move, their reflection moves in the mirror. They know that the person who is near them is who’s reflection they see.
