As it links to an observation I'm doing

It's about putting stuff in to bags/containers

posting, rolling, sorting, stacking, that kind of thing?

"Trajectories - vertical, horizontal and oblique, throwing, jumping, dropping, a fascination with the beginning and end of lines.
Connecting - a child with a connection schema is interested in joining things together
Rotational - going round and round
Transporting - a child may move objects or collections of objects from one place to another, perhaps using a pram, bag or truck.
Enveloping and containing ? covering things up and putting things inside.
Transformation ? mixing paint, show an interest in melting jelly or ice, dressing up.
Scattering ? emptying baskets, tipping out toys like bricks, use arms and legs to scatter, oats, pasta, rice etc. Wipe objects or toys from tables and surfaces.
Tina Bruce describes three levels of schema:
§ sensorimotor (senses and movement)
§ symbolic representation (pretend)
§ functional dependency (exploring cause and effect).

any use?

Yea - but isn't there one about transporting and was it encapsulating?

Or am I off on one

I think encapsulating sounds better!
