CHILD DEVELOPMENTHead of Department Mrs C Goodchild The course is designed to have a practical and investigative approach to work. Assessment One individual
task 30% The coursework is enhanced by visits to local infant schools and into the community to research information. Visiting mothers and babies and guest speakers are also very much part of the course and are very helpful with much valued practical and up to date knowledge. As part of their course the pupils take home one of our interactive babies overnight. Please see what they thought of the experience: When I took the baby home, I thought it was a good experience to see how looking after a baby would be. This was exciting, although in the night it was quite hard and challenging! Leah Looking after the baby girl for a night was tiring but it was good fun. It was hard getting up but I think everyone would answer to a cry of a baby! Sammy I looked forward to taking the baby home for a night, and thought it would be fun. But I wasn't so happy when it woke me up twice in the middle of the night! It was a good experience and made me realise it is not all easy being a parent and you have to be there 24:7. Laura
Taking home the baby was a good chance to get the feel of being a full time mother. It was difficult but quite exciting. Rio It made me think about what a real parent has to go through with a baby. Emily The baby girl was a really good experience. It was very hard work, but it made me think about how much work you have to do for a baby. I enjoyed it a lot though. Charlotte My experience of looking after the baby girl for a night was a good adventure and showed me what it would be like to have a baby of my own. Taking the baby home and taking care of him made me realise that you have to be ready and 100% sure that you want a baby as it s a really hard job! Neela
