the types of snacks available for children, encouraging healthy eating or meeting the amount of adults required to look after a set amount of children which is called ratios. There are 4 themes to the EYFS that settings must follow: * A Unique Child * Positive Relationships * Enabling Environments * Learning and Development | Equality act 2010 | The equality act is in settings to make every child feel equal and give them equal opportunities in life. It also means treating children fairly and not being disadvantages. Settings help with this by adapting activities to suit everybody’s needs and include those with a physical disability. There are systems in place to help children who do not speak English as their first language, settings could use sign language for those that may have a hearing impediment or use picture cards to make it easier to communicate.
Young children notice difference in others they notice the difference in the color of their skin, the difference in the size and shape of people, and the difference in the texture of hair. I agree in that widely held belief that children are too young to understand bias, because they do. Children are like a sponge and will soak up everything they hear and learn. Children begin to absorb both the positive attitudes and negative biases attached to these aspects of identity by family members and other significant adults in their lives (Linn, 2010). As parents, we should be careful of what we say and do around our children.
And in the following paragraphs I’m going to tell you some of my experiences on my first days in U.S. As soon as we came to U.S my mom told me that I have to start the school but she said “don’t worry the school is bilingual, they going to give you the classes in Spanish and they going to teach you English too” so I didn’t worry. When we get to the school the first person that we saw was the security lady and my mom ask her something in Spanish and she didn’t understand, so I get a little be nervous because I thought that if it was a bilingual school why she didn’t understand Spanish. Then we went to an office to subscribe me in the school, and was glad for me that was a least one person that speak Spanish. She said that a in the beginning I was going to take the regular classes in Spanish and two classes to learn English. So I thought that it wasn’t bad if I was going to take the classes in Spanish that means that the other students talk Spanish too.
E5 – Children’s Individual needs It is important to value and respect children in the setting, when meeting the children’s needs there are three to understand which are diversity, inclusion and differentiation. First useful term is diversity which is about understanding the child’s background, religion, race, disability and etc. In placement they are a few polish children some that can’t seem to speak much English and can be treated differently, myself and other practitioners value and respect them by learning to speak some polish words to try and communicate with them, also at the setting they brought remembrance day and polish independence day together for the polish religion as well as ours. You can also value the children’s needs having adults around them listening and giving interest to them. “You can value children by listening properly to them and acknowledging their efforts, ideas and interests” (Tassoni P, 2007, p.8).
So for example if all the children in the class knew different shapes from each other, so the front table knew the shapes square and circle, the back table knew all 2D shapes then the middle knew five shapes. Then instead of getting taught the same, there would be slightly different activities for the different tables so then it can develop all the children’s skills at their level It is very important to value and respect children because parents and families are the first educators towards children so their parents should give a good example of behaviour as when they are young they intend to learn things at a early age so this will allow them to grow up to be adults who value and respect other people's individuality and feelings. You don’t want the children to feel not good enough, not respected and unsecure. This will affect the relationship towards the parents but also they will think its right to treat someone without respect and could cause issues with
Multicultural Theme Unit Children are mindful of differences in color, language, gender, and physical ability at a very young age. Various research studies about the process of identity and attitude development determine that children learn by observing the differences and similarities among people and by taking in the spoken and unspoken messages about those differences. The biases and negative stereotypes about different aspects of human diversity established in our society undercut all children's healthy development and ill-equip them to interact effectively with many people in the world. Subsequently, anti-bias curriculum seeks to foster the development of every child's fullest potential by actively addressing issues of diversity and fairness in the classroom. Certain curriculum goals of anti-bias curriculum are to foster each child's: *building of a well-informed, confident self-identity; *comfortable, empathic interaction with people from diverse backgrounds; *critical thinking about bias; * capability to stand up for themselves and for others in the face of unfairness.
However, she began having difficulties in her third grade. The is a reason for that she explains, “In the early 1990s, Nogales provided bilingual education — teaching English learners in both their native language and English — but only through the first two grades.“ Miriam also added that the teacher was the reason her daughter facing difficulties, the teacher did not speak Spanish and only taught in English and wasn’t interested in helping. Flores also mentioned that her daughter is very quite child even though the teacher said that her daughter talks a lot. She explained that her daughter talked a lot because she kept asking her classmate’s questions because she didn’t understand. This issue resulted in Miriam joining other Spanish-speaking Nogales families in 1992 in filing a federal suit to improve educational opportunity for non-English speakers.
The girl identifies cup number three correctly then is asked which cup would have “pinky” chosen? She responds “pinky” also picks cup number three.

When he handed it to me she sent the hostess over to help me as if I inconvenienced her. When the hostess came I told her that I was not deaf at all and that I was doing research for a paper for my sign language class. The Hostess almost fell over laughing.

The woman was Spanish and spoke very little English. The woman’s partner was English and informed us that he spoke fairly good Spanish and that he would be able to translate. I asked the woman if she would like a bath for pain relief and she agreed. Whilst the woman was in the bath, her husband went to his car to get the woman’s bags and the woman and I were left alone. The woman must have thought I was going to leave her as she grabbed my arm and looked very worried.
