Interview Presentation

I have an interview at UWE on Wednesday, and have to give a presentation on one of the 5 outcomes of the Every Child Matters approach. I've chosen 'Be Healthy' and have already made my A3 poster but I also need to:

"Make reference to your experience of obvserving and working with children and teachers and suggest ways in which the Every Child Matters agenda is important to the primary classroom teacher"

I wondered if anyone could help me? As in, are any of you doing work experience in a primary school? How have teachers tried to incorporate the 'be healthy' aspect? Do they have to do PE lessons? Do they have to eat healthily? Any info would be much appreciated! I've done experiece in schools but as I'm still in sixth form, I don't have a lot of time to go in!

Thankyouu x

oo is your interview on the 3rd Feb?? If so.. I'll see you there I haven't started working on my presentation yet! I'm just waiting for my exams to be over and done with which is monday!! yay!

um well in the school that i do work experience in, they have a fuit and milk time every day and no matter what the weather is like, they will ALWAYS have a breaktime outside to keep their energy levels high even if it's freeezing!!

Ah no I've had mine now! It was the other day! I rang up my old primary school teacher and she gave me some good ideas so I used those So sadly, I won't be meeting you just yet!

lol ye I realised after I posted what I said that you've probably had yours already!! How'd your interview go? What sorts of questions do they ask? Sorry for the questions!!

What are you doing your presentation on? And good luck with it

thank you soo much!! I'm doing my presentation on Be Healthy.. you know there's 5 areas of the Be Healthy outcome (physically, mentally/emotionally, sexually, healthy lifestyles and choosing not to take illegal drugs) do you know if they all need to be related to just primary schools i.e. the age group that we'd be choosing for the course? because in the task for the presentation it says that we should mainly focus on how the outcome is related to primary education, but certain areas of the Be Healthy outcome are more related to secondary schools, such as the choosing not to take illegal drugs and being sexually healthy.. should i ignore these areas, or try to relate them to primary schools? because thats one thing I've been a bit confused about..!

Hmm I would say probably try and relate it to primary schools, and if you're doing work experience, then you could try to mention some of the things they're doing there to increase awareness about being healthy? Cos that's the one I chose to do as well, so I talked about what my local primary school are doing about being more healthy. Soo things like um they have 'fruit time' and their PE lessons are taken my professionals..stuff like that. So yeah, if you can, just speak to a primary teacher and ask them if the school is doing anything about being healthy And I didn't talk about all areas of the be healthy bit, I did about mental and physical mostly because they're the 2 that I thought linked better with primary schools
