It is with great pleasure and immense pride that I am writing an introduction to this, the first book printed by Bow nursery.
First of all, I would like to thank all the children for giving the nursery their amazing imaginary stories and drawings. I also wish to thank the parents who gave up their time and encouraged them to become delightful budding writers. Finally, I wish to express my appreciation to the staff, who sat with the children while they wrote up their stories. This wonderful toddler room children’s book is a collection of children’s stories and children’s observation with their picture. We understand that some toddlers are unable to provide a story and therefore we gathered their photos and placed a cation beside the photo. This was a community effort and is a marker on each child’s learning and development journey, and something which they can treasure when they are older. All the children involved in the creation of this book found it an exciting and inspirational experience. When they finally hold the book in their hands and see their work in print, they will feel proud of what they have achieved, and motivated to shine in their future learning and development.

Here I am using city wooden blocks to build a structure. I was able to pick one block at a time and gently stack them on top of each other. The structure looks like a tall house. I have been spending 20 minutes doing this activity and been fully engaged.
I am trying to sort out these teddy bear counters and match them into the right colour card. It is taking too much time as I have to sort them one by one and I have plenty of teddy bear counters in front of me.
I enjoy playing with blocks, here I am playing with wooden sensory blocks. I am stacking them on top of each other. I enjoy watching it drop and then I pick it up again and place it back.
I am using my palm in my hand to knead the play dough. I am using all my strength to push the dough. This is fun and the dough is so soft for me to knead.
I am painting a picture using a paint brush and some paint. I am making marks by moving by hand back and forth. Painting is fun because I come up with something different every day. It is like an adventure. Today was such an adventurer’s day to paint something new. I mixed up all the colours and came up with a unique colour. I don’t even know what to call it. But I was able to freely express and develop my creativity.
this builder’s tray has play foam and some wild animals inside. Oh this foam feels nice and soft. I am covering the animals with this foam and
Playingwith shavingfoamis a lovely sensoryplayactivity. It provides me an opportunity to make marks, develop my fine motor skills and build strength in their fingers and hands. I have covered all the wild animals with the play foam this is fun and engaging.
The teacher tells you that some animals live in water. I wonder how it must be. Today she put some frogs in the pond and they are sitting on the lily pads. I can see different variety of coloured frogs and they all come in different sizes too.

You are required to produce an assignment plan that will support you when writing an illustrated report for your unit 5 assignment.
You do not need to write the report for this unit – you only need to produce an assignment plan.
Your assignment plan needs to be as structured and detailed as possible so that you can use it when completing unit 5.
GUIDANCE
Using the timetable approach to assignment planning, you should firstly list all of the stages that you are going to need to complete for your unit 5 assignment, from reading the assignment brief to producing a first draft, through to producing your final draft and submitting it for marking.
You must review the unit 5 assignment brief and the relevant assessment criteria before producing your assignment plan. Your assignment plan must then include the structure and format of the unit 5 assignment, including any sections, headings and word count(s).
Where you include the first draft you need to break this down into the different sections you will need to write for an illustrated report following the recommended report format that is in section 1.1 of the study materials for the ‘Academic Writing Skills’ unit. Each section within the report format includes an indicative number of words; you should incorporate this information into your assignment plan.
You then need to allocate each of the stages a suitable time frame for completion. The submission date for your report is 10 days from today and the start date is today. Ensure that you use actual dates within your assignment plan and not ‘week 1’, ‘week 2’ etc.
Once you have done this, you should enter all of your stages and their allocated time frame for completion into a timetable or chart. Refer to the timetable provided in the Assessor Guidance for this assignment.
You can then review your timetable to ensure that your time scales are realistic and that you are going to be able to submit your assignment by the set deadline.
The timetable approach to assignment planning should include:-
• An outline of the content, format, structure and layout, including relevant word counts
• Deadline for the production of the first draft
• Allocated time for proofreading and amending
• Deadline for the production of the final draft
• Allocated time for final checking
• The submission date

Think piecesare short essays of no more than 400 – 500 words. Your think piece should have a distinct point of view. It should present this point of view clearly and consistently.
Your think piece must present this point of view clearly and consistently. It must deal in a clear and intelligent way with the course readings, class discussions and concepts.Tell me what you know. Start from what you know; Communicate your own insights through a discussion of the course’s readings. You can use examples, anecdotes and statistics to support your argument(s).
I cannot emphasize enough that inconsistent think pieces (essays with no clear organisation) fall short of my basic expectation.You will also lose points for copying or replicating responses from each other. You will lose all points if your assignment is plagiarised.Given that think pieces are short,they must be tight. Every word counts.I will penalise you if your essay is long and filled with empty verbiage.
Some of the factors that I use to evaluate a think piece include quality, depth, and complexity of the argument; the use of evidence to support the thesis; the clarity and elegance of the prose. Beyond such baseline expectations, I also judge a think piece by asking myself whether it is intellectually stimulating.
