1.3– When planning a work activity I always take into account the children’s learning needs and levels, for example you could have a child in your group which lacks concentration and needs a more practical approach in order to show interest and for the task to be successful. For example:…
One child is assessed for a specific time, events are recorded using pre set categories.…
For my egg drop project I used marshmallow fluff. I took a little of fluff out and put the egg in. Then I put some more fluff on top of it and compressed it in. When we got assigned the project the first thing I thought of was marshmallow fluff. I wanted something that would hold the egg so it wouldn’t move and break. I also taped the lid with duct tape so the lid wouldn’t fly off or break. The marshmallow fluff is super sticky and thick so I thought it would be perfect to hold the egg in place.…
For each experience, indicate the age group, list of intended goals, materials and processes / teaching strategies. For each activity, discuss why it is developmentally appropriate for that age group.…
Mrs. Soglin used many delivery methods in this lesson to help students grasp the information she was teaching. She had a friendly environment where the students were comfortable in giving a response. I observed many children engaging in…
Delivering learning activities to a class, group or individual can often involve explaining the activity/Learning objective to them and if necessary, breaking down instructions one step at a time so that the children/young people are able to understand what they are expected to achieve. We would need to ensure they have the correct resources available for the activity, adapting the resources where required for learners with special educational needs. They may also need general help and support throughout the activity and we would be expected to provide this, whilst also checking the progress they are making throughout an activity. We would need to be aware of all the resources they would need during a planned class/activity and make sure they are available for the children/young people to use.…
For each experience, indicate the age group (3s, 4s, or 5s) and list the intended goals, materials and processes/teaching strategies. For each activity, discuss why it is developmentally appropriate for that age group.…
Children do not learn in the same way as each other ‘they each have their own preferred ways of learning’ (E100, Study Topic 3, p.64). There are many theories relating to how children learn and develop, some coming from Government frameworks but many originate from an individual’s own ideas or beliefs. One of which being Rudolph Steiner, ‘whose principles emphasise the importance of unstructured play and the role of the teacher, who ‘works’ at activities as a model for children (E100, Study Topic 3, p.56)’, this type of unstructured play is evident in the video in that the outside area offered a free play environment where the children can chose to part take in any activity of their choice, either the role play area or the playground. The adult ‘worked’ at the activity when she joined the table offering support and extending the children’s learning through asking questions that required the children to engage further in conversation, developing their communication skills.…

The first video I chose to watch was one I have seen before, A Pep Talk from Kid President to You. This video gets me inspired every time I watch it. This little boy uses powerful words and phrases in his video, and honestly he speaks the truth, and that is how I relate to him. He speaks from what he knows, and others feel his age. He wants teachers to engage them into learning, or as he puts it “stop being boring”. This video is a great video to use when you need a little bit on inspiration! The next video I chose to watch was Motivating Kids to Read. This video was very clear, and gave several great points. His first point was lead by example. This point was eye opening as most people forget that children learn from us and use our actions as an example. I also liked the point he made about encouraging children to read after watching the movie. I feel this is a very solid foundation to get children familiar with the plot, and that will encourage them to keep flipping the pages to that book.…
The Small Group Activity is an individualized plan for a specific child. It is suited for the child’s strengths and weaknesses. It required thinking in all aspects. It needed deep reflection to assess and evaluate what the child’s strengths and weakness were. We had to be able to make meaningful judgements with our experienced and knowledge of child development. We then had to synthesize all this information into creating the activities. These activities can also be shared with families to give them an idea of what is done in the classroom to promote their child’s development. I will continue to make individualize plans to create curriculum better suited to the developmental levels…
Sherwood Anderson’s “The Egg” is a work that, viewed through the eyes of Freud, would have the theory of the tripartite psyche. The main character’s view of his father and mother inter play perfectly with Oedipal references. The character’s view of life in general is affected by his early childhood recollections and experiences, and Freud would have a heyday if this patient were on his couch. Ironically, the egg in the story relates to failures and destruction rather than the new life it should represent.…
