So glad I'm not the only one! Well I emailed my tutor and she doesn't seem to j understand what I'm asking! So I've gone ahead and done an observation of their general behaviour - not the activity. If it's wrong I'll be fuming. Because I'll have 4 observations of 2 children that are all wrong.
The thing that makes me think that it doesn't need to be of the activity though now, apart from the text book, is that some types of observation method wouldnt fit it anyway. For example I'm doing a checklist on one child.
It just seems a bit daft as like you say so many in a short time. I'm there twice a week (I'm a nanny) and trying to fit all this in! The writing up of each observation and then trying to find a new activity when the child will hardly have learnt anything in one week! It's not a long time period!
My other question is we have to do the 4 observations in 6 week - does it have to literally be 6 weeks like miss one week out? Or would it matter if it was 5?
