Physical- One way physical needs were met was through the access of water which created a plentiful source of low cost refreshment throughout the day. All children had a water bottle which was kept in the classroom. Children were given ready access to water throughout the day. Water provision: encouraged good health and wellbeing among the children, reduced tiredness, irritability and distraction from thirst, had a positive effect on children’s concentration throughout the day and raised awareness of the importance of adequate fluid intake and healthy eating as part of a healthy and active life.
Another way physical needs were met was through a healthy balanced school dinner catered around the needs of the children. They school dinners consisted of

This was a period of the school timetable dedicated to engaging children in physical activity. This was a compulsory part of the school curriculum. It assured parents that their children were receiving some form of organised exercise and it also allowed for children to inspired and gain a passion towards sports and exercise for the future. A minimum of 75 minutes a week was devoted to physical education (this was mandatory) during which children’s physical strengths were pushed to the limit to allow them to improve muscle control and co-ordination as well as strength and endurance.
In addition to this, physical needs were also met through maintenance of hygiene. The provision of school hygiene and sanitation ensured the rights of the children to acceptable hygiene practises, safe water supply, latrines and a healthy school environment in general. This had beneficial effects as a healthy environment facilitated a more effective learning and it allowed children to have an opportunity to gain life-long positive hygiene behaviours. Hygiene education and awareness also prevented children from contracting illnesses which could result in them missing vital school
Aparna after each session spent supporting with the children, Aparna reports to the teacher which includes information about how the children behaved whilst working. If Aparna have had to use any sanctions, Aparna informs to the teacher. , if children have behaved and participated well, or produced some good work, I also include the rewards I have given them e.g. stickers, showing their work to the head teacher and five minutes playing outside, similarly informing that child that she/he would have to go back to his classroom instead of joining in with the planned activity if continued to behave in a negative way.
Spaces must tolerate movement and noise generated by the child. Children, like adults, are influenced in how they feel and behave by the total environment and the physical setting in particular. Adults notice order and cleanliness; children notice small spaces to crawl into or materials to make something out of. A large open area may be an invitation to run if it is of the right scale and proportion; but it also can create sense of fear and loneliness if the proportions are beyond in relation to children. The physical setting acts as a deciding factor- it can support and encourage a child’s curiosity or it can make the experience of exploration much harder for those who are physically incompatible to keep up with the
Homework policy outlines the roles in which a parent involved with their children’s learning and supporting the child by providing appropriate resources, in which the child will need to complete their homework and making sure it is handed in on time. Attendance policy is for the parent to ensure that their child attends school regularly, unless they have an appointment or are unwell, in which you must inform the school as soon as possible. Authorised absences during term time are not automatically authorised. Home-school agreement has been a requirement since 1999 and is generally given to parents when their child starts school, it emphasises the role of the parents in supporting, how the school uses discipline and what is expected of the
The dramatic change in school nutrition standards sparked a need for a food model that matched and was easy for children to
Athletics are not only encouraged at the Devon school, they are also required. This is understood when Gene takes the job as an assistant which usually goes to disabled people. He said, “Jobs like mine were usually taken by boys with some physical disability, since everyone had to take part in sports and this was all the disabled boys could do” (69). This shows how important sports are to this school. A lot of this encouragement of sports comes from WWII which was in session during this time.
Considering that breakfast is one of most important meals of the day, this can affect a pupil mentally and they won’t. A way the school can help overcome this issue is by holding fundraising events to raise money for pupils that cannot afford school uniform, trips etc. Schools could also begin to provide free school meals for children of low income families so that their child can still have lunch at school without the added expensive cost. This means that they will be able to learn as normal and pay attention without being hungry and distracted during classes. To tackle the problem of a lack of breakfast due to costs, the school can hold breakfast clubs just before school starts in the morning, so that pupils can attend and have breakfast at
Maintaining personal hygiene is important for many reasons: personal, social, and health reasons. Keeping a good hygiene can prevent the development and spread of illness and infection. Poor hygiene can lead to poor health. Out in the streets, people can encounter many dangers. If a person gets hurt their wound can be infected if they are not clean.
There will be times during the day where a child might have non-routine physical needs. This could include: A runny nose due to a cold or allergies – a baby or young child will not be able to wipe their own nose so will require a practitioner to ensure that this physical care need is met. Wet or soiled clothes due to a toileting accident - a child should never be left in wet or soiled clothes, so a practitioner must will need to change the child’s clothes as soon as possible. Vomit Messy Eaters – Babies should be fed by an adult and Young children should be taught how to use Cutlery such as knives, forks and spoons. A practitioner should always assist young children in cutting their food as the children might find it difficult to eat
Explain how the ethos, mission, aims and values of a school may be reflected in working practices. The ethos, mission, aims and values of the school should be known very well before entering the school setting as it is part and parcel of the environment of the school and the daily practice of the staff and pupils there. All adults that work and are part of setting have the responsibility to model the standards of behaviour, with the children and amongst the colleagues. Good association and strong dealings between adults will encourage the good behaviour in children. All children as an individual should be respected within the school.
Dr. Frank L. Smoll states, “All children and youth need vigorous physical activity as part of their daily lives, and sports provide the benefits of exercise and the potential for acquiring a sense of accomplishment.” (Smoll 1/2).
Partnership working means that, all agencies and professionals work together to safeguard children. Each professional or agency will have a different role to play but each of them is all as important. Good communication between them all is vital and failing to do so could mean that a child who is suffering will be left unnoticed. Police, health visitors, GP, hospitals, child minders, nursery, school, after school clubs, leisure clubs, social workers, family, friends, neighbours and the local community are all responsible for safeguarding children before it reaches crisis point Question: Question 9 Answer: Children 's Social Care When a child has been harmed or abused the head teacher will be the first person to deal with it, she then has a
Throughout the semester, I have gained a better understanding of adapted physical education and sport programs. These programs provide children and adults with an opportunity to participate in sports they may not have thought were possible. The modifications to sport and exercise allows individuals with a range of disabilities to engage in activity. The disabilities can range from a mild learning disability to a permanent condition caused from a serious accident. While observing numerous individuals with disabilities, I was able to obtain a better understanding of the challenges that came with physical activity.
It is important that children are able to receive holistic care while in a play environment, both inside and outside. Some of the principles which would apply to both indoor and outdoor play include a child centred practice, ensuring the child 's welfare and safety, promoting a child 's rights, and enabling a child to reach their full potential. It is important that we provide a child centred practice, as it promotes a child 's learning and development through play. By having a child centred approach, we should support the children giving them guidance, but to allow the opportunities for them to learn independently, instead of taking over an activity and showing them. It encourages us as practitioners, to encourage children to explore and to make their own
One of the key to the successful teaching of physical education is the use of a broad range of approaches and methodologies. As it is acknowledged that schools, classes and teachers will vary, some methods will suit particular circumstances better than others, and the nature of the strands themselves necessitates the use of a variety of teaching methods. There is a need to examine the teaching methods which will best enhance the achievement of the objectives, taking factors such as the content and context of the lesson into account, as well as the needs of the learner. Teaching means sharing, guiding, changing behavior, impressing, disciplining, counseling, directing and inspiring. Good teaching is a process of producing end products of
Physical education would start in just about 1820 when schools focused on gymnastics, hygiene training and care and development of the human body. By the year 1950, over 400 institutes had introduced majors in physical education. Colleges were encouraged to focus on intramural sports particularly track, field and football. But now, in the 21st Century schools are starting to rethink if they should have it in their curriculum. In our era right now children are becoming more obese and overweight than ever due to all of the electronic distractions in today 's society.
