Literacy And Numeracy Learning Outcome 1                Claire Wright

Introduction

I have chosen to do the doctors for my assignment as it has plenty of opportunities for early pretend writing and mark-making, which the activity is partly designed to encourage. Also the doctors is a place where children go if they are ill and to get regular jabs. Even if the child is not ill they might go with their parents if they are ill. I’m going to set up a doctor’s role-play for two age groups of 2 and half and five year olds.   I want to plan and promote the development of children’s literacy skills by getting the children to pretend their dolly is ill.

I will try and persuade them to get involved as possible by getting them to make appointments and giving them opportunities to develop and promote their reading, comprehension and writing skills. The activity sheets I have prepared try to promote these among other things such as learning colours. These activity sheets will be in the doctor’s waiting room so the children won’t get bored and can be doing something they will enjoy and learn from.

I will need two desks, one for a reception desk and one for a doctor’s desk, these are normally found in a school setting anyway so that will not be problem to obtain.  Tables will be also needed for the waiting room. I also need some doctors’ equipment such as thermometers, stethoscopes and x-ray machines. These can be bought at Early Years centres fairly cheaply or maybe able to borrow some old equipment off the local doctor. Paper will be needed to use as an appointment book and for activity sheets. Health posters can be obtained from the local doctors and health centres to decorate the walls in the waiting room and doctors room.
