Should I be bringing in a note book and writing things down?

[mizz c]

i have just started my placement and i wanted to know should i be bringing in a note book and writing things down about the children like, if the child was crying i would go and find out y and then write down what i did to help?

I tend to take a notepad with me, especially with my work with a one to one. I try to cover what I did , how I did it and how I would change and improve upon. Hope this helps!

NO get stuck into your work. ask to be included in everything, then reflect later. you cant get stuck in with a pen in your hand. if you need some reminders a post it note and a pen in your pocket at the most.

hi i tend to make notes at lunchtime as this is when we have time to chat with each other staff /students etc so this is when i make notes to look at when i get home and see if i can cover any work in my folder and also can use theses notes to reflect as well
