Unit 5- Reflective Account

Unit 5- The principles underpinning the role of the practician working with boorren Introduction During my third placement, I worked at a babys agency and nipperrens centre. I was based in a baby dwell with children aged 0-2 years old. Although I was based in the baby agency I often helped off in the 2-3 dwell if it was busy and I was needed. In the baby room there were always three direct 3 qualified early years practitioners. This was the same in the 2-3 room plus a support practitioner. all told the children in the baby and 2-3 room had an soul learning plans this helped the children achieve the best they could egress of their time in the riding horse. All the planning in the setting was based on each single(a) childs individual needs and was age appropriate. All the children withal had key workers. The key workers carried out observations and were in charge of all the write up work involving the children in their group. Task 1- Give workouts of moorings in which you have worked as part of the aggroup P5. 1 Give examples of EACH situation in which you have worked as part of the teamAn example of a way I have worked as part of a team is helping out in the 2-3 room when the room was busy and the setting was short of staff. a nonher(prenominal) example of a way I worked as part of a team was by helping the practitioners obey parents wishes. An example of this was ensuring the babies didnt sleep for longer than their parents had said. For example there were twins who were 11 months old who attended the setting 8am till 4pm and were only allowed to sleep for an hour while in the setting. I worked as part of a team to ensure the setting was safe for the children at all measure.For example if the moxie pit or the body of water supply tray was out, the setting make it my responsibility to scotch up any spilt sand or mop up and spilt water to prevent an accident. A nonher way I worked as part of a team in the setting was to ensure at meal gen eration one of the children didnt consume any of the foods he was sensitised too. P5. 2 pull how you carried out the instruction manual abandoned to you in a creditworthy way I carried out instruction manual in a trustworthy way by helping out when I was needed in one of the other rooms.For example when it was quite in the baby room and the 2-3 room needed my help. I was asked by one of the practitioners to help her with the childrens lunches because she didnt feel comfortable doing the lunches on her own. I carried out instructions in a responsible way by listening to the instructions given by the practitioner and did what was asked of me. Another way I carried out instructions given to me by the practitioners in the setting in a responsible way was learning each childrens care bend which was asked of me so I knew how long each child was allowed to sleep for.If I was told to put a child to sleep, once asleep I was told to prove this information on the sleep chart. Because I put this child to sleep, I was then responsible to ensure this child didnt go all all over their limit. For example, if a child could only sleep for an hour, once the hour was over I then woke up the child. I carried out instructions given to me in a responsible way by sweeping up spilt sand or mopping up any spilt water right on when i was asked to by the practitioners. This was extremely important when maintaining any of the settings policies on health and safety.I carried out instructions given to me by the practitioners in the setting in a responsible way by sitting next to the child at snack or meal times ensuring the child did not eat any of the foods the child was allergic to. This was sometimes difficult because the child was allergic to many kinds of food. These included tomatoes, cucumber, brown bread and apples. P5. 3 Describe how you provided feedback to team members about a task in which you have been mired When feeding or helping the children eat their lunch, I p rovided feedback to the practitioners in the setting on how the child ate their lunch.For example, I provided feedback to the practitioners on what exactly the child ate, how much of the lunch the child ate, how long they took to eat it and whether or not the child fed themselves or needed help feeding themselves. I had learnt it was important for practitioners to build strong relationships with parents and I understood it was important I gave the correct feedback to the appropriate practitioners because the information was then forwarded to the childs parents when they came to put in their child. P5. 4 Reflect on each situation and identify where you could birth improvements and act on advice given to youReflecting back on each situation where I had worked as part of a team I would commence headway some improvements on the way I acted on advice given to me. For example, when a child in the setting had slept for as long as they should, in future instead of waking them up and lea ving them, I would dumbfound with the child in till the child was properly awake. Ways I was told to do this was by sitting by the child and reading them a story, singing a song with them, distracting them with a toy or obviously just talking to them in till the child got up to play.I would to a fault make improvements when ensuring the room was safe for all the children, I would do this by in future instead of waiting for one on the practitioners to key me sweep up spilt sand or mop up and spilt water I would do it as soon as I saying the hazards to prevent any accidents in the setting. Another improvement i would make in future would be if snack or meal times included any of the foods children were allergic to I would make sure the foods were not accessible to the children.For example if the children were having vegetables for snack, the vegetables are usually left in the mediate of the table and the children then choose which vegetables they wont by selection them and putti ng them in their bowl. This was where I had to be careful and watch the children carefully. In future I would not leave the tray in the middle of the table, id fragmentise up the tray and go round the children asking what they wanted, this way would have made it allot easier to ensure the child didnt eat and foods he was allergic to.Similar article How Different Types of Transitions Can Affect Children
