For my college course, I have to attend 4 different placements over the course of 2 years on a Monday and Tuesday. I have to spend a minimum of 5 months at each placement.

The Close Nursery (Banbury) – This is my first placement. I was faced with a variety of different roles to look after the children. (September 2014 – February 2015)
• I had to set up the table for snack time
• I had to do observations on the children and then plan for their next step activities
• I had to help with cleaning at the end of the day
• I had to help to organise the children when getting ready to go outside and counting them when they came back in to make sure that everyone was there

Poland (Warsaw) – I went to Poland on a college trip and worked in a nursery over there with ages 2-4 and 6-8. (8th March – 11th March 2015)
• I had to go into a class of 2-4 year old’s on my first day in the nursery, it was very challenging as I didn’t understand the language and very few of the children and staff understood English
• I learnt a new skill whilst I was over there, it was how to deal with a child that had a language barrier to me – it was very challenging at first but I managed to pull through and help the children in any way which I could – I taught some of them a few words in English whilst I was there too
• Myself and another individual on my course had to carry out an activity with the 2-4 year old’s – it had to be an English activity where we taught the children names of the fruits in English through playing games

The Harriers School (Banbury) – This is my second placement that I am currently still in. (February 2015 – present)
• I have to be organised and a good role model for all of the children at my placement, I have to help them with the lessons such as English and Maths
• A regular thing that I do when I’m there is do reading with the children, I take out a few individuals or sometimes a group and I sit and read with them and help them with any words they may struggle with
• I have to make sure that I am organised as I have to fill out paperwork when a child is injured, etc. I make sure that I know where everything is to be able to carry out lessons, etc.
