Preparation for Early Years Teacher!

Hello!!

Welcome to my blog :)

The main reason that I have set this up is to monitor and show my development as an Early Years Practitioner to an Early Years Teacher. I thought a blog would be a solid way to show the parents, my employers and myself how I have developed my skills and passion within the Early Years Sector.

This blog, will be a great visual tool, that I can use to showcase my ideas and activities for the children within my setting. By showing these ideas, and explaining them, this will provide a great awareness for the Parents within my setting, to show that as a trainee EYT, I care immensely about their children's learning, development and to provide a stimulating environment for their children to develop as young individuals, to learn the necessary skills they need for school.

I start my EYT training on September 6th 2013 at the University of Brighton. At the moment, during the summer break I am preparing for my studies by doing some light reading of publications such as: The Effective Provision of Pre-school Education (EPPE Report), Birth to Three Matters and Early Years Devevelopment. As I read through each of these I will blog a review and links for those who are interested in reading such publications.

I am also starting to develop some new projects and ideas for the children involving sensory play, so when these come to a close I will post photos and descriptions for the parents to see what kind of activities their children will be involved in.

Each week, when the Playgroup is in session, I will be giving a brief over view of planning, and what activities the children were involved in each week. When I go on training I will blog about my experiences, what I have learnt and what I will develop within the setting to enhance learning.

Many thanks for reading :)
