P1 Give reasons why play is important for children and young people “‘We think that a purpose of the child is to grow up because it does grow up. But its purpose is to play, to enjoy itself, to be a child.’ Herzen A. cited in Young Children Learning, David, T.” (Page 25, 40231D, CACHE Level 2 Certificate in Children’s Care, Learning and Development) Play holds a great importance in a child’s life. Through play a child learns lots of different things from a very early age. Every time they play they learn something new in life, be it educational or social while having fun. They learn to explore and take risks in their life.
3) Create and imitate movement in response to rhythm, clap to a rhythm. State Standard: Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Physical Education, Subchapter A. Elementary Section 2 Student Objective: At the end of this grade, the student is expected to strengthen hand and leg muscles, and develop skills such as clapping and singing rhymes in chorus. Lesson Description: The teacher should engage the students in activities to build hand and leg muscles that involve the additional technicality of a skill. Regular jumping and running improves muscle growth in the legs, and should be complemented with an additional skill such as jumping at a certain height, or jumping through a certain distance.
As they play the games on the LeapPad2, this strengthens the child’s hand to eye coordination as well as the child’s small muscles on their fingers, hands and wrists. 1. Which of Jean Piaget’s stages is this toy most appropriate for? Sensorimotor Preoperational X Concrete Operations X Formal Operations Explain why. The LeapPad2 is for children from ages 3 to 9.
In addition, students learn to work safely in group and individual movement settings. A major objective is to present activities that complement their natural inclination to view physical activity as challenging and enjoyable. (3) The focus for kindergarten students is on learning basic body control while moving in a variety of settings. Students become aware of strength, endurance and flexibility in different parts of their bodies and begin to learn ways to increase health-related fitness. (b) Knowledge and skills.
CYPOP 4 In this unit I am going to explain the importance of physical activity and the development of movement skills for children’s development, health and well-being. It is important to promote physical activity from a young age, even when children are babies we are encouraging physical activity for example rolling to crawling then walking, also babies fine motor skills like pointing or picking up a toy, because this will contribute to their overall health and well-being. Physical activities help reduce risks of children getting any diseases like diabetes later on in life. Other benefits of regular physical activity from a young age includes; * Muscle and bone strength * Reduces body fat and
In early childhood children have an abundance of energy that they have a hard time controlling. In this stage children run instead of walking. They jump and skip showing the exuberant amount of energy that they have. During early childhood gross and fine motor skills are starting to become refined. A child’s hand eye coordination improves and they develop the ability to do tasks such as jump rope, hit a ball and use things such as pencils and crayons with better control.
First impressions are important for parents and carers as well as the children and young people. As a playworker, you will need to develop a range of techniques and strategies for interacting with children and young people. Whatever techniques you use, you must ensure that the activities are appropriate for the age and stage of development of the children and young people. Each child and young person is very different and may need to be treated individually, sometimes one-to-one, for example if you have a shy child you may guide them towards a one-to-one activity. You may need to monitor the noise levels in that particular area, and you should observe occasionally throughout the session to ensure that the child is settling in.
It helps children to have positive experiences and develop important abilities like Collaboration- being happy to work together Concentration- focusing on what they are doing Communication and language- developing good communication through talking, listening and writing Developing good relationships- working together and making new friends Imagination- bringing ideas to life Physical activity- participating in activities that encourage movement Problem solving- being able to explore different solutions Outcome 1.3 Critically analyse how creativity and creative learning can support young children’s emotional, social, intellectual, communication and physical development. The key characteristics in creativity can support children’s development in a different ways. Emotionally they learn how to manage anger if they
CYP 3.4 3.3 Identify how young children can be supported to assess and manage risk In my setting we occasionally get out the indoor slide and climbing frame. The children that haven’t used it before are encouraged to have a go, some children already know what they feel safe doing and will climb and jump from the top rung, these children are given support and guidance when jumping such as “What do we need to make sure before we jump” and “what might happen if you jump whilst children are in front of you” this encourages them to think about the consequences of what they are about to do and encourages safety whilst enjoying their activity. Some children need encouragement for example; a child that is frightened to jump from the top rung is encouraged to step down a rung and asked “can you jump from there” and “how does that feel” they are supported to decide where on the rungs they feel safe to jump from praised for their efforts. The children, when coming down the slide, can exit to the left which is front of the children jumping, or, to the right which is a safe way back to the climbing frame. I have witnessed children forgetting which side to come off the slide and the child waiting to jump has assessed the situation independently and waited until the child has moved and the mat is clear before jumping, this shows me that guidance we have given in the past, when this equipment has been out, has been retained and used to manage their own risk.
The observer will either mimic or avoid the actions based on the consequences that the person who initially performed the action received. This can be a very useful tool in the development of child rearing. Through observational learning, children learn valuable life-skills at a very young age. Child rearing, otherwise known as parenting, is teaching and nurturing of a child from birth until adulthood. Children learn a lot during this time from watching others, especially their parents.
