Recap & Connect

On Wednesday we looked at your assignment 3 brief. For this section you need add a small explanation of the context of the environment, to help the observer understand the environment. (The observation will be completed indoors, child A is engaging in activity with a small group of 5 children)

Learning Objectives

By the end of the session, all learners will be able to:

Recieve their Assignment 1 mock exam grades and understand the reasoning for the marking criteria. 

Engage in activities where learners will assess two different types of assignment 1 examples to determine key similarities and differences within. 

Whole Class Mindmap

As a class we will mind map together on the white board... 

Strategies an EYP would use to effectively support a child during an activity. 

IMPORTANT

DO NOT SELF PLAGIARIZE. 

I don't see why you have decided to do that because the information in two plans should link to the context of the activity not generic information. 

From an examiners perspective, I would Give an 'ungraded'.

Feedback 

What went well

• You got through a hard exam so well done. 
• Some of you had good structure. 
• Nearly all of you had clear subheading's in your activity plans
• Some of you referred to the children Safia & Noah in your plans. 
• We had some good links to ideas of the type of activities. 

Areas for improvement

• You must clearly label each activity (Activity 1 - Communication & language)
• Introduction: Needs to clearly introduce the concept of yoru activity, including age ranges and how many children. It would be good practice to mention the children that are in the case study.
• Links to Curriculum need to be clearly written and age relevant.
• You must always link back to the children in the case study.
• Adaption - need to have personal support for the children in the case study.
• For H&S: You need more detail this was very brief for most of you & not relevant to the activity. Some of the explanations were very very generic.
• Be clear how you will work in partnership to support the context of your activity, not generic information. 
• Theory links were ok, you need to be more specific .
• Equality, diversity and inclusion needs to be in your plans you can embed this within the adaptions bit. There is more too this than just supporting religions. You need to ensure children feel valued. 
• You need information about observations and next steps but in context of the activity.
