Hi, thinking about the activity you did with the children:
1. cognitive development: what learning do you think they got from the activity? sharing, turn taking, cooperating in a group, numbers, colour names?
2. what sort of experience was the activity, was it positive and the children enjoyed it by staying to complete the activity, were they happy, smiling, talking and taking part? or maybe it was not a very positive experience eg. children came to the activity, watched what was happening and then left.
3. what language did you use with the children to help them understand the activity - open ended questions that develop communication skills usually start with the words how, what, where, why, tell me. What specific words were used that linked to the activity eg. jigsaw, puzzle, words about the Jigsaw's pictures, fit, turn, same, different. and what language di the children use during the activity - did they talk to you, each other, no one?
4. what problem solving happened in the activity? was it jigsaws where children learnt to pick up a shape, match it to an identical place on the jigsaw board and then fit it in correctly? Was it junk modelling activity and children problem solved by joining pieces together so they didn't fall apart?
Hope this helps a little xx
