14) if we have a child at within the setting who has communication difficulties as English may not be thier first language we can contact an outside agency to get futher support. we can work closely with the parents and learn some of the child's first language key words. we need to remember to speak slowly and clearly and face the child when speaking making full use of facial expression. we can also use picture images and have pictures up around the setting explaining the routine. (in my old setting we made 'flash cards' made up and stuck them on a cupboard board of the daily routine- hang coat up, play time etc, and once we did one thing child's key worker will go with child to take last pic down and talk about whats happening next- he had austim) we can also provide more one to one support for the child.
16) we support maths in the nursery by doing counting each morning. counting the number of boys and girls, identifying which there is more of and also include sorting by encouraging children to identify what group they are in by the colours they are wearing. we also have number jigsaws and also dominos to encourage matching, we have sorting bears where the children are encourage to sort the colours and sizes of the bears and count each group. this is important as maths and counting, sorting and matching will help a child for when they are ready to begin school and again is an important basis to learning. (would also say this area covers no 17 as well)

children are given daily opportunities with outdoor recreation daily to develop their physical skills. also each week planned PE lessons are provided where pupils learn to use different equipment such as ropes, balance beams, bats and balls. this is a regular lesson within the school and is important for the pupils as not only does it help them to release pent up energy and frustrations through the physical play and also helps them to develop confidence as they achieve |
