Teaching (16)- I noted that the children had developed interest in a crane and I explained to them how it works. Mostly I was thrilled with the way they would find a strategic position to be able to see and also how they thought that I could lift them so as to clearly see. I demonstrated that I can be flexible and respond to the needs of the children thus successfully engaging them so as to guide them in their learning.

Professional knowledge (5)- Instead of going to look for snails and slugs I used a book to help the child recap on what he had learnt the previous day.

Professional knowledge (6)- I chose books, life- like toys and pictures to extend the children's interest in insects and bugs.

Professional knowledge (4)- I set objectives for the toddlers to be able to identify snails, slugs in our garden.At the end of this learning activity, the toddlers were able to name the slugs and snails and identify them even in books.

Professional Relationships (20)- Contributing to the life of the learning centre.

I contributed actively, positively and constructively to this parent event and social occasion by taking my time to talk to the parents and getting to know the families of the children I teach and serving them tea.

Professional Relationships (21)- I am developing professionally in that I am constantly reflecting on my practice and seeking ways to improve myself and demonstrating growing knowledge on appropriate learning opportunities for the child.
