Reflection about placement

Reflecting upon placement - I've enjoyed being in a learning environment that consists of 0-5 years old. I feel that planning experiences for children of all ages allows for learning to be formed through all ages, children are learning off each other and its great to engage in. I enjoy children being together in an environment that offers for creativity, exploration and imagination. The environment is filled with great experiences that have been planned to cater for all ages, and to be displayed as an environment that allows for independent learning. Children are able to freely move from different experiences at their own pace. I feel that this placement has been an enjoyable experience as it gives opportunity to engage with the children as well as the parents who are essential part of children's lives. 

I've enjoyed creating experiences at placement that cater for arts and allow for further exploration through natural materials. I've emmensly enjoyed utisiling materials that are of natural materials such as leaves, rocks, water, sand etc. I've learnt that the simple experiences can offer a huge amount of enhanced learning where children appreciate and engage in their learning. I've encountered many children develop through many problems they have had for example independently playing without their loved ones which has been great to witness as it shows that children are young capable learners. Overall I've had a great experience at placement and have enjoyed getting to know the children and look forward to seeing the children again
