Hi ive written this... does this cover what you mean?

We support Inclusive play in our sessions by ensuring we look at each child as an individual and ensuring every childs needs are met. We will always organise child led play but if we notice a child interested in something we will look to extend it further by planning around there interest using adult intiated play to get the best out of the child. For example we have a few children that have ADHD so sitting down may prove a tricky task to do, especially at carpet time so we need to adjust the activity and include something physical such as a passing the ball to our friend and saying our name. It is key to inclusive play that we follow the current framework of the EYFS so we ensure that we focus on our communication- it is Important to get the best out of each child and help with communicative/language/listening and especially listening skills. Children learn through playtime, storytelling, books, sign language, learning another language as they become older and even touch games eg on the computer. This is fundamental to each child and cannot be stressed enough for child development and fun too I hope in learning in interactive exercises.
Learning discipline and simple rules to respect children's viewpoints, behaviour observed and gently corrected. Most parents use ‘Naughty step" as the last resort, in our setting children are given time out and a behaviour form is filled out by the key worker and then given to the parent at the end of there session. Encouraging play...give and take, manners, good conduct and a friendly approach to working with each other in group work. Asking children for their opinion and not dismissing their ideas as rubbish but to give an explanation to what is probably right or wrong if necessary.
Everyone learns together without prejudice and everyone treated like a miniture adult!
To discourage bullying and to explain why it is wrong, to protect kids from abuse in any setting whether it be pre school or school and at home. Helplines in and out of school for kids to contact or parents if there is abuse/exploitation. Anti discrimination is encouraged with vigour!

Hi, you need to take care with your terminology and professional word choices and mention equal opportunity.

Use children rather than kids, a child's key person, and colleagues that are key workers, adult-led, child-initiated.

If you only have a few more criteria left before finishing your whole course and still have the CYPW book you'll find a little information on page 22 and under the word 'inclusion' in the index, also use what's written in the EYFS framework


Alternatively if you still have a few units left, you aren't attending face-face college sessions and your tutor or assessor isn't quick to reply when you message or phone them, and you now have the level 3 EYE handbook page 173 looks specifically at AC 5.1 Current Frameworks of inclusive practice

Quote:
Inclusive play means making sure that all children have equal opportunities to play and that no children are being excluded on account of things such as their gender, race, religion or disability. Inclusion to play is underpinned in law by, firstly children's right to play (UNCRC) and also by the early years foundation stage - if you work in England


You write about your setting's policy and procedures for children's behaviour and child protection where the criteria asks you to analyse playing & EYFS

Hope this helps xx

2. Create a plan using theoretical perspectives and philosophical approaches to play which support the developmental stage, needs and interests of children aged
0-1 year and 11 months
2-2years and 11 months
3-5 years.


*** I've written (not spell checked anything yet so just ignore any poor grammar! I also haven't finished it yet, but I thought of play doh for the 2-2 stage and gloup to created moulding textures, bringing in natural elements to improve fine motor skills for 3-5***

A.C. 2.1
I have created a plan using Steiner theoretical perspectibes and philosophical approaches to play which support the newborn to 5 years old stages through creative and sensory play.
Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925)
Like Montessori, Steiner has had less of an influence on mainstream schooling. Steiner believed in three stages of child hood.
* Stage 1, The will. This is between the ages of 0 to 7, he believed at this age the spirit infuses with the body. At this age the the child is a newcomer, finding their way and their reincarnated soul needs protection.
* Stage 2, The heart. This is between the ages of 7 to 14. Steiner believed that feeling were important at this age this is because of the rhythmic system of the beating heart, the chest and respiratory system.
* Stage 3, The head. This is from the age of 14 onwards. Steiner believed that this is the period of thinking,
Steiner’s ideas included.
* Children need a well-planned environment in order for them to develop in a rounded way.
* That a child’s diet is very important (Steiner himself was a vegetarian). He also believed that children need a good rest and that the balance of activity and rest needs to be balanced.
* A child’s temperament is extremely important. A child maybe calm (sanguine), easily angered (choleric), sluggish (phlegmatic) peevish (melancholic. Steiner believed that children often had a combination of temperament.
* He believed that when dealing with children as an adult to never go against the temperament of the child but to work with it.
* Steiner also believed like Froebel did that feeling part of a community is important for a child’s development. He believed that it is very important to form and maintain relationships with other people and for this reason a child should keep the same teacher for a number of years.
* The curriculum Steiner sets is very powerful for children with special educational needs who can integrate, it involves other children to actively help to look after them.

* When children are about to have circle time or sing a song, every child has to wait until the last child joins in the group. When learning a new song it is sung many times and the children that learn it quickly are encouraged to help the children that haven’t quite learnt the song yet.
* Steiner also believed that symbolic behaviour was important but in a different way to Froebel. For the first seven years special Steinerian fairytales were told to the child. He believed the children would absorb these stories. He gave the children dolls with no faces, wooden blocks that were irregular shapes, silk scarves for dressing up clothes, each room had a particular colour scheme. The community he developed for the children included, baking, gardening, modelling, singing and painting.
Although I don’t get involved in the planning side as a volounter if I was to plan an activity using steiner theoretical approach I would use sensory messy play such as jelly for the 0 – 1 year olds as at that age there enquisitive to the world around them through touch, smell and taste. As at this age regardless to if there sitting or not you can either sit them or lay them on there back as this will be able to be performed even with babies with disabilitys in a messy play environment with jelly or foam or paint etc.
