Introduction: Aim, Objectives and Rational
I am currently doing a Fetac Level 5 Childcare Award and I am hoping to achieve the major award and continue doing Future Education and Training and get a part time job.
My aim is what I am hoping to achieve from this assignment to choose a play activity and how I am going to plan it, evaluate a developmentally appropriate and enjoyable play activity for a group of children in my work place.
My objectives are to research a range of play activity and then consult with my workplace supervisor as to their suitability. In consultation with my work place supervisor, help me to choose one suitable play activity for me to plan, carry out and evaluate. I will research and outline the anticipated developmental benefits of the activity to the children in the crèche. I will show how my activity fits in with the themes, aim and learning goals of Aistear.
The reason I chosen this activity – Picture Frame because I had found out from my supervisor that they would love this creative activity and is will help and encourage the children to be an independent and productive citizen in society. Creativity in a child’s life is important. Montessori creativity helps the child discover to cradle themselves as according Maria Montessori, she believes that it is a means of self-expression, self-exploration, and self –discovery is important in developing and forming their being.
