Child A has varied needs and I have planned as shown in the assignment how best to meet his needs.

Introduction The child observed goes to a mainstream primary school is six years old and started year one in September 2005. I have done a series of four observations all carried out during different activities and play settings. To respect confidentiality I have referred to the child as child A. I have found out that Child A has varied needs and have planned as shown in the assignment how best to meet his needs. Task 2 - A description of the needs of the pupil I have come to recognise that Child A needs a lot of adult support. Bruner emphasises the importance of the adult in supporting or 'scaffolding' children's thinking and learning. The Teaching Assistant offers support to the child until they are ready to stand-alone. Bruner also emphasises the adult 'skills' of recognising where and when this support is needed and when it should be removed. Looking at the observations (please see Appendix A & D) child A goes off task quite easily during adult planned lessons such as Literacy and Numeracy. This could be due to the possibility that he finds these particular subjects difficult. As you can see from the observations Child A lacks concentration and interest throughout the lessons and he finds it difficult to sit still for long periods of time, he is either fiddling with a chair, rocking or annoying another child who is sat near him. According to Tassoni rocking

Developing effective communication in health and social care settings. Examples of one-to-one and group communication.

MAHRIA IQBAL UNIT 1 P5 DEVELOPING EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION IN HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE One-to-one communication- Reading a book with a service user My task was to work with Nicky who was one of the service user's who actually had slight hearing problem. I had to listen to him and work out what level of ability in reading he is at. This task ensured each person communicating has each other's attention in a given moment. I felt that this one-to-one task with Nicky would make him feel special and cared for as it is a mean of saying to him that I am making time for him and he will have my undivided attention. Even though Nicky was a good reader overall as he tried his best at reading with me, but every time he made a mistake or pronounced a word wrong I would say "No Nicky that's wrong" he felt that it was me who was wrong and could not read properly so he just totally ignored that it may have been that he didn't not hear the right answer clearly or just felt embarrassed that he was making mistakes during the task. This task may have been overwhelming for him due to him not having a one to one attention before or he may have felt isolated through a lack of opportunity to communicate with the other care workers. This task had taken place in a room with many other service users who were doing a variety of different activities. I placed my chairs right opposite to him so it would

THE TRUTH ON AUTHORITATIVE PARENTING STLYE

Authoritative Parenting Style THE TRUTH ON AUTHORITATIVE PARENTING STLYE General Benefits of the Authoritative Parenting Student ID 80001023 Southern Cross International College Path Education Group (Malaysia) Authoritative Parenting Style 2 General Benefits of the Authoritative Parenting Each day more than three-quarters of a million adults around the world experience the joys and heartaches, the challenges and rewards, of becoming new parents. Despite the fact that most people become parents, and everyone who ever lived has had parents, parenting remains a somewhat mystifying subject about which almost everyone has opinions of which few people agree. But the continuing task of parents in each generation is to prepare children of the next generation for the physical, economic, and psychosocial situations in which our children must survive and thrive. Many factors influence the development of children, but parenting style and parenthood are the "final common pathway" to childhood oversight and care giving, development and stature, adjustment and success. The fit is neat because childhood is the phase of the life cycle when parent-provided experiences are believed to exert their most significant and salient influences: Not only is the sheer amount of interaction between parent and child greatest then, but childhood is the time when human beings are

Compare the use of fantasy in 'The Poor Relation's Story' and 'Superman and Paula Brown's New Snowsuit'.

Raymond Broderick Bower Park School English Coursework Wide Reading Compare the use of fantasy in 'The Poor Relation's Story' and 'Superman and Paula Brown's New Snowsuit'. "All night I dreamed of flying...These nightly adventures in space began when Superman started invading my dreams and teaching me how to fly. He use to come roaring by in his shining blue suit with his cape whistling in the wind...In the magic whirring of his cape I could hear the wings of a hundred sea gulls, the motors of a thousand planes". This is a quotation taken from one of the first paragraphs in 'Superman and Paula Brown's New Snowsuit'. By examining this quotation it is clear that the narrator is truly in depth with her fantasy. She fantasizes very affectionately towards her superhero Superman, in particular his ability to fly and to carry her away up into the sky and beyond into space, away from the real world, away from reality - clearly a young child's fantasy. "I really do not know in my castle, what loneliness is. Some of our children or grandchildren are always about it, and the young voices of my descendants are delightful - O how delightful! - to me to hear. My dearest and most devoted wife, ever faithful, ever loving, ever helpful and sustaining and consoling, is the priceless blessing of my house...". This quotation is from 'The Poor Relation's Story'.

Unit 1, Drama exploration of childhood

When I first saw the baby suit. The class had just previously had some discussions over the whole idea of childhood and what it means to certain types of people. We did the discussions in a number of ways. First of all we did this with the teacher explaining to us his views on the whole idea and the reality of it. He talked to us about 3 main things in a child's life; these were playing, no responsibilities and dependency on others around you. He just gave us those 3 ideas and told us to think to ourselves. I did this and it got me thinking. What I was thinking was which idea represented a child the most. Which ever one this was; I felt it would have to be included in future drama role plays, which I would eventually have to put together and the same idea would have to be put forward in countless group discussions. Following on to this, as a class we each were handed a piece of paper. The paper was for a little group exercise. The exercise involved each of us writing what we thought was the most important thing about childhood. Once done the teacher went round the whole class and asked everyone to say what they had written out loud. Mine was the idea which stuck with me the most which the teacher had previously said. This idea was Dependency on others. Several people had different ideas but it was interesting to know that they all revolved on the same 3 ideas we had discussed

Resubmission Unit 5 Unit 5 E1 The practitioners responsibility in a professional relationship is that they should be able to work as part of a team and provide a high quality care and education for children, you would do this by following legislations. By following all your settings principles, policies and procedures you would be promoting and encouraging the children's safety. You as a practitioner would always maintain a high level of safety by following the settings policies and procedures and be being aware of any emergency procedures. Also if you belive a child is being harmed you should always report it as the child may be being abused etc . "Policies in early years' settings are there to guide the actions which practitioners need to take to fulfil the vision and aims of the setting and to act as a point of reference against which decisions can be made." Early Years Update. Also for practitioners to be in proffessional relationship they should be able to keep confidentiality, effective communication and professionalism. The reason a practitioner should keep confidentiality about the children in the group or the parents, is because each child is different with different needs. If the practitioner went around talking about children to other parents, they would tell other parents that ,for example : her daughter cant do that while mine
