Analysis: The Early Years: Developing Practice
Ethical Statement
Title of course: The early years: Developing practice
I am undertaking an E100 course with the Open University that involves the study of children, operating at, 0-7 year old age range. All children names have been excluded to protect their identity and their parents have given permission for their activities to be used in my assignments. The setting manager has given permission for me to follow this course. The settings anonymity will be safeguarded and kept under confidentiality.
Part 1: Analysis of two video sequences:
‘Lark children’s centre’ (study topic 4)
‘Bilingualism’ (study topic 6)
I have chosen the lark’s children centre because in the (E 100 DVD 1 Lark children centre, 09:20-12:33, …show more content…

Within the clip it shows how the assistant uses picture books to develop the children thinking telling them in English and in their own language and that is the same technique we use in our setting. In part (2:50-3:13) Serinda, one of the assistant says it’s important to teach children in their mother tongue because it keeps their culture going.
Within my setting we have Caribbean, German, Fijians, Africans and English, and as it shows in the clip the children communicate better in their own tongue. So when the key persons communicate to them in their language you get a lot more from them and it shows that you respect their cultures, and that we have an inclusive practice and we follow the EYFS (DCSF 00261- 2008) , that talks about equality and …show more content…
Ideas like: (CS3)
● Carrying out home visits before the children starts, so that they feel safe and relax when they start, and getting to know their families and cultures.
● Acquiring more bilingual books and videos.
● Getting wider ranges of multicultural equipment’s.
●Engaging the children in more outdoor nature activities.
●Getting cameras, Dictaphones, tape recorder, answering machine, laptops, and programmes on washing machine. (PS3)
These can help children to explore the uses of ICT
Children learn best in an environment that is secure and caring in order to develop their skills and to achieve positive learning. We create this environment by carrying out risk assessments, working in partnership with parents, and it is (cited in the EYFS on page 19 that practitioners have to do this to comply with the requirements which will help the children to meet their learning goals), (DCSF,2008a) . So you support children’s learning by creating this
