Work experience in a nursery review
Zeynep 12 2
Unit 6
Work experience review week 1
On the first two days of my work experience I was quite new to things and had to explore around for me to know where things were in order for me to adapt into the environment. I didn’t really do much on the first day apart from get to know all the children and staff. However during one point in the morning I helped the room leader with carrying some snacks for the children from the kitchen. Every morning that whole week I helped out with feeding the children that needed to in the morning, lunch and afternoon. My personal achievements that whole week was remembering most of the children’s name as I tried hard to not forget any and I started to have a good relationship with some of the children and they listened to what I told them to do which showed me I was doing the right thing. After the first day my main duties began to become regular, I had to prepare activities, sing with the children during circle time and clean up the creative room after it was being used. I was mainly in the creative room rather than the main room, the children got separated to go into different rooms as having them all in one room was difficult to control them. In the creative room they would do creative activities for example painting or gluing things down. The first 2 days I was in the main room where the children had to practice literacy maths or play games.
Every morning I use to help the team leader lay things on each table for example pens and paper or counting blocks. After the children had their lunch then we would have circle time where the children sat around in a circle and had to sing songs. I mostly had a child on my lap every day, I tried to get the shy kids to join in and would sit next to them so they don’t feel alone or not involved. Every day in the first week in the afternoon from 3-5pm the children had to rehearse for their Christmas concert which was going to take place next week on a Friday. Me and staff members
