One corner is our reading and quiet corner we have placed big cushions sofa chair and a bookcase with some additional books put onto the chair so this becomes a soft and cosy area for the children and so they realise that they can help themselves to the resources we also place some of the puppets and soft toys such as teddies on the cushions, this then enables the area to be inviting for the children. We also have a craft station where there are scissors, glue, colouring pencils, Sellotape and craft boxes so they can make projects on their own or with their peers. We always consider the impact of a colour that then reflects on a child’s emotions, research has shown that the colour yellow is recognised faster than any other colour, this colour also evokes spontaneity, and is joyful, optimistic, warm and signifies communication as well as being bright and happy. We need to make sure the room has a variety of different and stimulating toys, and that there is enough space for all the children to move around comfortably and have access around the room/rooms indoors and outdoors in the play area. The room should always be well lit and everything visible so the children and young people can see properly and communicate with each other…

Every other week we go to the library and have the librarian read to us. For the child with special needs I will have pencil holders and give extra time to complete their projects.…
As I have experienced during my practicum hours, routine is one of the teacher best friends. In order to time manage effectively, the teacher has to implement a well organized routine that children can predict. Transitions, guidance and behavior management go hand to hand. As a teacher I will explained to the children our daily routine, what is expected from them, and what are going to be the activities of the day. In special occasions when the normal routine changed, I will notify them as well. Transitions are, also very important. They help children predict what is next during the day and prevent negative behaviors. I will set song, 8, 5, 3 minutes warnings to switch activities and verbal instructions. Guidance must be in place at all times…
To conclude, transitions play an important role in children’s lives and can be stressful which can subsequently have an impact on a child’s well-being. For that reason, transition cannot be ignored but should be effectively planned and organised so that individual children’s social and emotional needs of transition will not have a negative effect of their welfare. The importance of transition objects has problems for a child’s transition into and out of the EYFS. This furthermore raises the issue of respecting the objects bought by children from home when they come to the nursery. However, early years teachers should understand that in order to effectively accommodate young children they need to make sure that they offer an environment where…
