Part 1:

This week as been busy but wonderful. I really enjoyed my week, I had some extra curricular activities and I balance it well with my studies. I planned very well and made sure that I got to everything on time. 

Part 2:

I once again became aware of the fact what huge responsibility rests on the shoulders of an teacher. That you always, always need to make the learners your first priority and ensure that they get the most out of their learning experience. I really enjoyed this study unit and learned a lot.

Part 3:

I think it could possibly be neglected due to the fact that the teachers and appointed personal might be afraid to approach assessment with such young learners. The learners are at a delicate age and considering the fact that one can quite easily make the learners feel insecure or brake their spirit if it is not approached in the correct way. Young learners tend to not take losing or feeling like their work is not good enough very well. Which is totally understandable, but I think assessment needs to be approached in a way that they learners understand it is not personal. One can not always be the best and we assess because we want to do better and keep doing better. Another reason is also that the teachers/personal might not be educated enough to feel as if they can assess the children in the correct way. They might feel they do not have an adequate amount of knowledge to do an assessment.

I think it is very important to address this in the correct way, to discuss this with all the educators present and really get a good idea of what everyone's feelings are around the topic. The most important thing to keep in mind with matter like this, is that the children should be our first priority. We need to ensure that they receive the absolute best out of their learning experience and this includes being assess in order to better their skills etc.
