Hi Lauren ,

I am glad you liked the extract. I can empathise with your experiences with your son. My youngest also was ‘different’ from my first 2 children and other kids we knew and it was incredibly hard work at times especially when he was little. I found other parents views and attitudes to be at times quite judgemental ( including some of my own family members!) so I do know first hand how hard it can be for parents of children with ANY kind of additional need – maybe thats why I’m so passionate about early childhood development!

Me again !

I have attached an overview of 3 more change projects that were completed in 2018/19. This document is for reference only and was written with the permission of the trainees.
One looks at improving maths across the provision , one looks at ways of improving a focus group of children’s literacy skills and the third looks at ways of using technology within the setting.

I hope you find this helpful
Nicky

Hi Zoe,

No the interim tasks do not need an additional annotation to them and yes do print off the tasks that you have uploaded to the forum – you could always add any reflections to these to show your broader knowledge based on sharing practice from either the forum or the CPLD days too!

Brilliant ladies – yes the whole point of the Mosiac approach was to capture children’s ‘ voices’ in as many ways as possible’ ( not just form what the children were literally saying).

One way that the researchers achieved this was by getting the children to take them on a tour of the settings and tell them what they liked / didn’t like( they recorded this) , another way was through giving the children cameras and asking them to take photos of areas of the setting that they did / din’t like.

You may want to think of other ways that children ‘tell’ us their likes / dislikes – facial expressions, emotional reactions, children’s drawings, story telling , playing with puppets , are they accessing all the areas of the environment etc etc!!

[NIckyb]

Good to know – thanks Nicky!

[NIckyb]
