We have decided to use the image of an 'Adventurous child' along with the challenges of the educator being the risk involved with adventure

I have found some help full articles on 'the adventurous child' as well as the need for risky play. Here are the links :)

Health & physical learning: Making healthy choices

Children build a sense of wellbeing by:

• making choices about their own and others’ health and safety with increasing independence.

Suggestions for interacting

Teachers create interactions relevant to local settings or draw on

the following examples:

• draw children’s attention to and describe safe and unsafe

situations indoors and outdoors, and how to make appropriate

choices about their safety

• support children to make choices that maintain their own and

others’ safety in a range of situations

• develop and promote routines that maintain health and safety

in a range of situations

• use teachable moments to investigate safe and unsafe situations

and encourage children to identify strategies to reduce risks

• question and challenge children’s thinking as they investigate

and make choices related to their own and others’ personal

health or safety

• model strategies for children to use in unsafe situations and

prompt them to use these strategies, when needed

• organise visits to investigate health-related community

services and personnel

• use information technology, texts and roleplay to allow

children to engage with health and safety issues

• provide feedback and identify alternatives to help children

make healthy choices related to diet, hygiene and lifestyle

• introduce a range of healthy leisure and recreational

Keira and Nicole

we have decided to do a prezzi presentation to enchance our speech. It includes you tube, images, quotes taken from articles and aspects on both challenges and imagery of the child and the educator. This will go with a short role play to provide solutions for risk taking in education and how learning managers have to adhere to policies and procedures.

Well tuesday turned out great, we got a lot done and I think we are all thinking along the same lines. We have made massive progress and if we all research our chosen topics and then combine them tomorrow we will be ready to write up the written part of the assignment.

Wednesday and thursday breaks could be useful and hopefully we could stay back for an hour or so on these days and make some progress.

24/11 We organised what needs to go in each of the paragraphs for the rationale and who needs to do what part. I have also emailed you a copy of a word document that has references from a range of articles you might find useful to use. Can we please organise a day to catch up next week so we can put it all together and make sure it all fits together before we have to present it. Cheers


 * Ladies, it is nice to see that you are finally cooperating on this task with your first wiki entry on Tuesday. However, you have left your organisation very late. You must now all work together and meet to finalise the details of your presentation. Remember the presentation and written rationale must demonstrate equal contributions from each member of the group. This becomes self evident during your group presentation. Please remember to date and name your wiki comments. I will check in on your planning again soon. **
 * Good luck. We look forward to viewing your work. **

I haven't seen alot of evidence of communication on this site ladies. I hope that it has been happening in some other way! Group sharing and participation is essential in a group presentation. It becomes very obvious during the presentation. Kathy 30/11/11
