07 Professional Practice-In this reflection I showed how I used Demyan's language to describe to him things he didn't understand in English so as to make him settle in toddler room. This facilitated a sense of welcome for Demyan. Early childhood education and programmes should be inclusive even for children who come from a non English speaking background. Therefore by involving Demyan in the programmes especially mat times allowed him to be involved and learn English through action songs. By using visual cues and gestures alongside words in action songs assisted Demyan to acquire English as a second language.

27 Professional Leadership- By having an environment that facilitated Demyan's learning and also the mat times supported this diversity. Demyan attended Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Mondays were my mat time days so I would use more action songs to facilitate his involvement in mat time.
