At the start of December the teacher asked me to design a display which embodied the spirit of the Nativity Story. The display was to be situated on the board above the pegs where the children hang their coats. It was to be put here so that it can be instantly noticed by parents/carers, the children and all visitors to the classroom.

I drew up a display in rough to show to the teacher to give her an idea of how the display would look. She approved and I began to start it.

I gathered the paper, glue, pencils, felt tips and templates that the children and I would be using for our Nativity display from the small store room in the classroom. I then fetched the backing paper and border from the large stock room in the hall.

The children and I began to cut out templates of Mary and Baby Jesus and they coloured them in. I backed the display board with gold paper and put a purple border around it, making sure that the staples held both of these securely. I arranged the templates on the display using staples again to secure them.

The teacher, myself and the pupils were all pleased with the display and how it looked. It was agreed it would stay there until we returned from the school holidays.

At the start of December the teacher asked me to create a display which showed the Nativity Story. The display was aimed at parents as well as pupils and staff in school. In the Teaching Assistant Handbook Level 2 2nd Edition by Louise Burnham on page 13 it says “The school should provide pupils with an environment that is positive and reflects the needs of all pupils. There should be a variety of stimulating areas within classrooms and around the school, and displays reflect the work of all pupils, not just those that do the best work”.

The display was to be situated on the board inside the classroom above the pegs where the children hang there coats for optimum impact and accessibility.

I did a rough design first and showed

    In schools you will find display boards that are used for many different purposes. It's important to remember when you do a display that it has a clear purpose and the headings identify this so that anyone who sees the display find it appealing and are able to understand it. In schools displays are used to provide information for pupils, staff and parents. Generally you will find specific boards are set aside in the reception area of a school to give information to parents. Staff boards will be in the staff-room to display events in schools, important messages, whereabouts of staff and playground duties rota etc. In individual classrooms you will find that the pupils work is displayed or they are used as a learning resource with a particular purpose relating to a subject as a reference to enhance pupils learning with a constant reminder.…

    Our school policy for displays is quite dated and maybe updated soon. It describes why we have displays in school and how this impacts on the children. There is a section on organising and actively involving children in the displayed work. We have no rules on backing or mounting. It is left to whoever is doing the display to pick and choose their colours and mounts. We are asked to take care as to how we secure items on the display (we don’t like drawing pins) and to keep in the restraints of finance. Different class are allocated different areas of the school for their displays. We can put up wall displays, table top and shelve displays. We can make mobiles to display work.…

    In the school display policy it should include the aim and objectives for the display. It is there to stimulate learning environment. It helps a child to gain new information and also to build their learning skills. The displays must be kept in good condition and also where possible trimmed and mounted. Staple guns and sharp pins should be kept out of reach of children and also removed properly when taking down old posters. A person may use different materials to help their posters look better and more eye catching for the children. Posters should be mounted in different ways and in different varieties. Heading, titles, letters and information must be written clearly for children to read. Display areas must be kept tidy and clean to prevent accidents. Display areas can be in the corridors, the classroom and outside the principal’s office. Staff must take pictures and record evidence for their reference.

I have musical instruments like, xylophones, drums, guitars and CD to play and to sing along with and I have a place where they can arrange their own band.

    I work in a Jewish care home on EMI dementia nursing unit for the elderly. My clients suffer from dementia. They are in different stages of that illness, from mild to severe. Some of them are in end of live care. My clients come from different backgrounds then me and where raised in a very different way to how I was raised. It is important that I will remember this and respect their beliefs, as we all have personal beliefs and preferences based on our background and upbringing. I have been brought up in a catholic society where religious education was compulsory, however we still studied various other religions and were taught to respect all people and there beliefs. Prayers were a daily thing at the end of each assembly and whether or not I wanted to pay attention to the prayer time I had to respect the people that did. Religion may affect people in many different ways, mainly because we all come from different backgrounds and are taught differently. However, it is important to respect how people honor their religion. I am an catholic, however I still make time to talk to my clients about their religion and sometimes have prayer time with them, and when possible I take the clients to synagogue. I spend my time with them on Saturdays (in Jewish culture Sabbath is a day of rest) even though my own beliefs teach me something different, I know it makes the client happy so it makes me happy to do this. I know it is something that they feel so strongly about and it is amazing at how much I really now look forward to going to synagogue with them. It is part of the job that I do and parts of showing the clients that we care about what makes them happy and that we respect their beliefs even if ours are different.…

    When I started my work placement at my setting I was working with my members of staff and manager who told me how to monitor children when they eat and which child cannot eat certain food because of their religion or culture. Before I started to give out the food for the children I had to read the food policies and procedures to know how to serve the food and drink for the children. At my placement I learnt how to monitor the children when they ate and how much they ate, and also about their allergies. I had to monitor how much the children drink and I had to make sure that they drink enough water or milk.…
