Pictures: Pictures are used alongside words to make communication more easier and understandable. In fact in my placement school, the reading scheme that is used starts the children off with ‘picture only’ books so the children are encouraged to talk about the pictures in the book and make their own story up and ask questions. Technology: Computer programmes (apps and games), interactive whiteboard, story tapes, cds are all ways of stimulating a child’s communication development.

In one part of the book it covers the areas of learning and one of the main ones out of five others is called Creative Development. In the EYFS booklet it says “Children’s creativity must be extended by the provision of support for their curiosity, exploration and play. They must be provided with opportunities to explore and share their thoughts, ideas and feelings, for example, through a variety of art, music, movement, dance, imaginative and role-okay activities, mathematics, and design and technology’ Statutory Framework 2.17.
Children learn by observing and imitating and so watching and being supported by adults who encourage and work creatively by being flexible in approach, solving problems and painting and drawing with them can help develop their creativity. Children’s environments and the practitioners who work with them should be receptive to new ideas and innovations and encourage them to explore and be creative. Creativity as a process – Some theories look at creativity as a process. They look at how new ideas develop. An early theory put forward by Graham Wallas was a five-stage model that focused on the unconscious mind: • Preparation – initial thoughts about a problem • Incubation – time spent thinking unconsciously about the problem • Intimation – being aware that an answer is within
Teachers and parents can provide flash cards with pictures or colors for the children to turn over and then try to remember where they had seen the matching card. There are also games such as concentration that can be bought at stores that are structured to improve memory skills within children in the early childhood stages of development. Children can also be asked to make an art project that would ask them to express how they feel and then will indicate how the children how the concept appears to them. By expressing themselves through art, this will also help them develop their language and vocabulary skills. Reading and hands-on activities will help teach the children to think more critically and logically.

Preschool Children Children between the ages of 3 and 5 are in the crucial stage for values formation as they begin to develop compassion and a sense of what is right and wrong. However, their abstract skills are undeveloped, and they respond best to concrete suggestions and activities such as gathering unused toys or buying new toys at holiday time for disadvantaged children.

Nurseries provide good education for children from age three upwards to the age of four when they move up a year into reception class. By providing enjoyable activities like painting and colouring, it educates the children, because it’s learning them through play.

Therefore, the purpose of assessment in support of planned curriculum is to help build on children’s strengths and weaknesses and aid in continued growth and learning. Furthermore, assessments illustrate that children have actually gained knowledge and skill from planned learning experiences. Even more, they exhibit the children’s ideas and attitudes towards their experiences. The teacher sent home picture cards for the children to continue working on rhyming at home and suggested several rhyming read aloud books for parents to read to their child at
module 5Child Growth & Development: Ages and Stages Module 1 Assessment Handout Diversity in the Classroom Children start developing their attitudes about others and themselves by the age of two. Providers and teachers can have a powerful positive influence on those attitudes. In your activities and classroom you should provide multicultural, non-stereotyping materials and activities that will: * Support each child’s sense of self and family * Teach children to accept and appreciate differences and similarities between people, and * Help children understand beliefs and customs different from their own. Not all materials produced for children are appropriate. Be especially careful with materials that are more than ten years old.
