I worked in a reception class where I assisted the class teacher with various roles such as helping to conduct play, planning phonics lessons, reading in small groups and contributing to maths lessons by organising different ways to teach. I also worked with children individually to help with their development and meeting their individual needs.

I helped with planning lessons and working in small groups, making sure they understood the work and giving them extensions when needed. I also worked with an individual child as her reading mentor. I enhanced her learning by making educational tools such as phonics games, sentence games from the book she was reading to help with improvement.

Practitioner – Nursery February 2018 – May 2018
I worked in a nursery with children ranging from 6 months to 5 years old. I lead circle time sessions, planned activities with key persons and planned educational outdoor activities such as nature walks.

I also work with the children individually to help understand what stage they were at and help set goals and targets to help develop and improve learning.

Practitioner – Nursery June 2018 – September 2018
I worked closely with toddlers/pre-school and worked closely with two key persons in a team to help manage and teach the toddlers/pre-schoolers. I also conducted some extra-curricular activities such as sports school and took part in tapestry which has developed my understanding of childrens milestones and how to reach these.

I also helped the children with their homework, reading and spellings as well as taking them out to the local parks, playing boardgames and supporting their development.

We did many activities together such as ball games, cutting activities, playing outside, reading books and comprehension activities.
