At the start of December the teacher asked me to design a display which embodied the spirit of the Nativity Story. The display was to be situated on the board above the pegs where the children hang their coats. It was to be put here so that it can be instantly noticed by parents/carers, the children and all visitors to the classroom.

I drew up a display in rough to show to the teacher to give her an idea of how the display would look. She approved and I began to start it.

I gathered the paper, glue, pencils, felt tips and templates that the children and I would be using for our Nativity display from the small store room in the classroom. I then fetched the backing paper and border from the large stock room in the hall.

The children and I began to cut out templates of Mary and Baby Jesus and they coloured them in. I backed the display board with gold paper and put a purple border around it, making sure that the staples held both of these securely. I arranged the templates on the display using staples again to secure them.

The teacher, myself and the pupils were all pleased with the display and how it looked. It was agreed it would stay there until we returned from the school holidays.

At the start of December the teacher asked me to create a display which showed the Nativity Story. The display was aimed at parents as well as pupils and staff in school. In the Teaching Assistant Handbook Level 2 2nd Edition by Louise Burnham on page 13 it says “The school should provide pupils with an environment that is positive and reflects the needs of all pupils. There should be a variety of stimulating areas within classrooms and around the school, and displays reflect the work of all pupils, not just those that do the best work”.

The display was to be situated on the board inside the classroom above the pegs where the children hang there coats for optimum impact and accessibility.

I did a rough design first and showed

    Our school policy for displays is quite dated and maybe updated soon. It describes why we have displays in school and how this impacts on the children. There is a section on organising and actively involving children in the displayed work. We have no rules on backing or mounting. It is left to whoever is doing the display to pick and choose their colours and mounts. We are asked to take care as to how we secure items on the display (we don’t like drawing pins) and to keep in the restraints of finance. Different class are allocated different areas of the school for their displays. We can put up wall displays, table top and shelve displays. We can make mobiles to display work.…

    In the school display policy it should include the aim and objectives for the display. It is there to stimulate learning environment. It helps a child to gain new information and also to build their learning skills. The displays must be kept in good condition and also where possible trimmed and mounted. Staple guns and sharp pins should be kept out of reach of children and also removed properly when taking down old posters.

Heading, titles, letters and information must be written clearly for children to read. Display areas must be kept tidy and clean to prevent accidents. Display areas can be in the corridors, the classroom and outside the principal’s office. Staff must take pictures and record evidence for their reference. Staff have responsibility to ensure that the posters are kept in good condition and also to use health and safety procedures while putting up displays.

    In my class room I have to make sure that crayons, papers, construction materials, paints, markers, pencils, glitters and some more materials are ready and available for children in our daily activities. I have musical instruments like, xylophones, drums, guitars and CD to play and to sing along with and I have a place where they can arrange their own band. Children loves to play dress up, some pretend to be a Mom and Dad and some pretend to be a fire man so I also have a dramatic area set in my class room so they can explore in their own play spaces. I believe that it is important for them to have many means of expressing their activities. And I posted some of their finish activity on the wall to make them feel proud of what they have…

    When I started my work placement at my setting I was working with my members of staff and manager who told me how to monitor children when they eat and which child cannot eat certain food because of their religion or culture. Before I started to give out the food for the children I had to read the food policies and procedures to know how to serve the food and drink for the children. At my placement I learnt how to monitor the children when they ate and how much they ate, and also about their allergies. I had to monitor how much the children drink and I had to make sure that they drink enough water or milk.…

    Rather than using PowerPoint, create your visual aids by hand using poster board. You must use a minimum of 5 poster boards (1 for each content requirement). Poster board should be 24”x36” or larger. Text and images should be large enough to be easily read from the back of the classroom. There are no limits to how you create your visual aids, so feel free to use markers, colored pencils, cut outs from magazines, or computer generated items. Other than that, the same requirements apply as with option 1. It is strongly recommended that you design each visual aid in advance, and use pencil before permanent marker on the actual poster board.…
