Unit 6 assignment 1
Introduction
In work placement 1, I was at a Nursery in a pre-school room with children from the ages of
2-3 years. There were about 10 children in the preschool class.
In placement 2 I was in a primary school, in the reception year class so the ages where from
4-5 years of age, which had about 10-15 children.
In placement 3 I was at a residential care home, which held some residents with dementia
and some residents who are not able to look after themselves without a bit of help or a lot
of help. The resident’s ages here varied from 70 years of age to 105. When I started
placement there was 17 residents and now there is 15.

and valued, the staff had a sensory corner that she enjoyed interacting with. The particular
child helped me reflect on my own skills and attributes by certain situation where I was not
able to help due to lack of training, is when she had nosebleeds or she would use a ruler or
her finger nails to hurt herself due to her anxiety and I was not allowed to help her as I was
not allowed to be alone in the bathrooms without a member of staff. This made me feel
helpless as I was not able to quickly help her which could trigger outbursts. Although it was
good experience, as I got to develop my communication skills with children of different
needs, the lack of skills I had made me feel demotivated, this making the skills gap
increasingly obvious.
Developing professionalism
At my time at the primary school, I had an experience where a child called me by my first
name because they knew me outside of school, when she should have addressed me as
