Reflective Account And Practice
On Friday the 8th of April, I participated in windsurfing and paddleboarding on Lake Pupuke. I demonstrated Tolerance as my responsible behaviour.

This affected my physical safety because I didn't jump ahead of anyone or rush and I took my time so that I would be more safe and listened to the instructions despite that it was repeated many times. I also waited for those who weren't as confident and let them take their time and waited for them to be done so that everyone was safe and I knew that they would be safe. An example of this was waiting in line for windsurfing, this showed tolerance because I took my time and allowed those in front of me too take their time with the instructor and make sure they felt fully safe and knew what they were doing so that they were safe when they went out. I also didn't overtake those who were waiting in the line because everyone had a fair turn despite how long it was taking and followed to instructions even though they made us stand and wait for them.

I also felt safe because I had listened to the instructions whenever they said them. An example of this was during windsurfing and even though the instructors repeated the same thing over and over, I knew what to do and I allowed them to instruct me whilst windsurfing even if I thought I knew it well. Another example of how tolerance affected my emotional safety was during paddle board whilst I was on the double paddle board and working with the other person and knowing that we were because we were tolerating and working with each other. This looked like waiting for her to be ready, communicating well with each other and making sure she knew how to paddle well and we were working in time with each other so that we could actually get

    It is important that a balanced approach is taken in risk taking so that the children aren’t over protected. The children should be allowed to safely explore and make decisions about risks with the guidance of the staff within the setting. Children need to learn how to control risks for themselves, by learning what the safe boundaries are, by the staff showing the children how to recognise risks and dangers in the safest way possible.…

    Concerns about children’s safety and a fear that something awful may happen to them can prevent children from trying out new activities and learning new skills. To allow children to learn about safety, it is necessary to allow them to take risks. A child will not learn how to balance on a two – wheel bike unless he or she is given the opportunity. Carers must be careful not to over protect children as this may stop them being creative and adventurous. The skill is in monitoring safety without preventing children from tackling a new challenge. In this way confidence and self-belief develop. A child who is not allowed to tackle challenges will not learn to make judgement for his or herself.…

When a person travels to an adventure park, and making the decision to make a 134 meter leap off of a bridge, or take a ride in a hot air balloon, maybe a little sky diving, they are assuming that the operators are operating in compliance with all codes, regulations, manual guidelines, and maybe a little common sense and less greed.…

    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.…

    What is reflective practice? In short, it’s a practice that helps you become an active learner. Many of us, including myself, may be considered or interpreted as passive learners. Passive learning goes a bit like this: we read textbooks, we follow everything our instructor or teacher tells us (sometimes we tune out), we write exams and then…we forget what we learned. It’s common and though not everybody goes through this, historically, it happens more often than not. However, with active learning we engage in conversations with our classmates and teacher, we ask questions, we figure out answers, we contribute and learn and teach each other. And ultimately, we engage with ourselves (and seldom tune out as a result). Oxford dictionary defines reflection as “a serious thought or consideration…an idea about something, especially one that is written down and expressed”. Reflective practice facilitates coping. From a personal perspective it is different for each of us like writing personal journals or talking on the phone with family/friends. From a professional perspective this is usually mores structured like when we complete our weekly log after a clinical day and reflect on what occurred during our time on the unit and reflect on a single moment and how we felt about it.…

    Reflection is both a mental and physical process ,whereby you reflect back on an occasion that has already occurred. Donald Schön, an American educationalist, coined the term ‘reflective practice’. Derived from reflection, the practice can be undertaken in a multitude of forms, such as journalling, spoken and written reflection (Usher & Holmes, 2014). Schön proposed that there is capacity to reflect in-action, (whilst doing something) and on-action (after the action is undertaken). During the reflective cycle the practitioner begins by acknowledging the activities which make up their practice.…
