CHCECE016 - Floor plan, NQS, hygiene, emergency plan
Posted: Sat May 30, 2015 12:14 am
Hi everyone. I am doing my new unit and I have some questions I do not understand really well. Please help to correct/ explain them to me. Thanks a lot.
1) Provide a floor plan of the entire play area that shows the materials and equipment currently set up for children. For each of the areas on the floor plan, evaluate whether enough space has been allocated for the children to participate.
My answer:
I know that the room where I am working provides each child with at least 3.25 square metres of indoor space. But, I am not sure about each area. What does it mean? An example I can think of is the block area of the room. It is set up for 2 children. Does it mean the block area must offer at least 3.25 square metres for each child joining in it? In this example, i have 2 children, so the block area must provide at least 6.45 square metres. The room I am working accommodate 8 children and it has 5 areas. Each play area is designed to have 2 -3 children. If we have to provide each child at least 3.25 square metres for each area, it will be so .........
)I hope my explanation is not so difficult for you to understand, pls excuse my poor English)
2) Which National Quality Standard (NQS) element related to children making appropriate decisions regarding their participation?
My answer: Element 1.1.6: Each child’s agency is promoted, enabling them to make choices and decisions and to influence events and their world.
3) What part of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) or Framework for School Age Care links to this element?
My answer Outcome 1.2: Children develop their emerging autonomy, inter-dependence, resilience and sense of agency.
4) Create a fact sheet on hygiene practices for parents. The fact sheet should contain the following:
• Information from the publication Staying healthy (www.nhmrc.gov.au) and directions in how to access it. => Do I have to mention generally about the purpose of this publication?
• A suggested schedule for parents to wash their children’s toys and equipment at home. => I read the "Staying Healthy" and it mentions generally about what should be washed daily and weekly.
Do I need to talk more specifically such as when parents should wash dolls, puzzles, dress-up clothes etc.?
5) In the emergency management plan, locate the information on telephones. Do all educators have ready access to a phone or similar means of communication?
My answer: I do not have answer. I do not understand " locate information on telephones" and how should I answer "Do all educators have ready access to a phone or similar means of communication?". The office room is always opened and the phone is there for using. I am not so sure how I should answer the question.
6) Which telephone numbers are listed in the emergency management plan as key contacts? Explain how staff access these numbers if needed?
My answer: key contacts: "000" for fire, ambulance, police. What about "Explain how staff access these numbers if needed?". Don't we just call "000" by using a phone??
Sorry that i ask so many questions, but some of them are so confusing for me.
Thanking in advance for you help.
Have a nice weekend everyone.
