During week 20 I was working every lunchtime as a lunchtime supervisor staff in a primary school in East London. My positions changed from supervising the playground/outer space to supervising the lunch hall.

Rose, 2009, suggested that lunchtime supervisors can actively support the 5 Every Child Matters (HM Treasury, 2003) outcomes to help children to:
-       “be healthy
-       Stay safe
-       Enjoy and achieve
-       Make a positive contribution
-       Achieve economic wellbeing” (Rose, 2009: 9).

BE HEALTHY! 1808361 https://padlet.com/1808361/1808361blogpost16/wish/2119406364 I've encouraged students to make healthy choices whilst helping in the lunch hall. I have provided some students with healthy recommendations and to try new food. I have also monitored what was being eaten looking out for trends when I started to grow familiarity over the week's course.]]> 2022-03-29 13:55:21 UTC https://padlet.com/1808361/1808361blogpost16/wish/2119406364 2. STAY SAFE! 1808361 https://padlet.com/1808361/1808361blogpost16/wish/2119407319 To enable a safe environment, it was very important to organise the lunch hall. I set expectations for all students and lining up in a single file was very important. With cooperation, there was maximum safety and respect in the canteen. This was achieved by great communication on my behalf. ]]> 2022-03-29 13:55:51 UTC https://padlet.com/1808361/1808361blogpost16/wish/2119407319 3. ENJOY & ACHIEVE! 1808361 https://padlet.com/1808361/1808361blogpost16/wish/2119408251 Making positive contributions with positive relations has helped me to encourage children to be pleasant, think carefully and take responsibility. I've achieved this by praising students, verbal praise worked very well with primary school children. I've observed that they were adapting their behaviour and seeking praise.]]> 2022-03-29 13:56:19 UTC https://padlet.com/1808361/1808361blogpost16/wish/2119408251 4.MAKE A POSITIVE CONTRIBUTION! 1808361 https://padlet.com/1808361/1808361blogpost16/wish/2119409123 I have achieved this by stimulating inclusion in the lunch hall and playground. Typically, girls would always approach me about their friendship dilemmas. I encouraged fair solutions to their friendship issues and aimed to speak to different children to observe their feelings. I've developed my listening skills massively during my playground duty. ]]> 2022-03-29 13:56:43 UTC https://padlet.com/1808361/1808361blogpost16/wish/2119409123 5. ACHIEVE ECONOMIC WELLBEING! 1808361 https://padlet.com/1808361/1808361blogpost16/wish/2119409943 To achieve economic well-being, I was required to support all children from all backgrounds. I've encouraged leadership, teamwork, independence, and critical thinking skills during their play.
