Te more texture experiences the child encounters the greater their perceptual learning. Allow the child to explore by touching safe things. Some thorns are sharp and prickly; a teddy is soſt and cuddly. Help language development by verbalising the texture the child is experiencing.
1.1.4 Windows and ventilation Fresh air is important in a room. It ensures a pleasant environment to work and play in.
Ventilation Doors and windows must be placed in such a way that there is good ventilation without draughts. Te room must receive fresh air but not wind.
Definition Ventilation is the flow of air in circulation.
Windows that open horizontally on an axis are safe and effective. Ten you can control the air movement. Tey do not project past the wall where the windows can hurt people walking by. Windows must be placed low enough so that the child can see outside.
1.1.5 Temperature Regulation
Correct temperature How to regulate temperature. Te importance of correct temperature.
Te temperature in the room should remain at 20 °C – 22 °C. If the temperature changes a lot, the child will feel uncomfortable. In winter, heaters can be used to warm up the area. Make sure the heater type will not cause burns, e.g. panel type.
1.1.6 Lighting and electrical fixtures/appliances
Lighting should be used effectively. Natural lighting is more effective, but sometimes the room is situated in a dark areas or during wintertime it tends to be dark in the room. Fluorescent lights are more suitable for lighting up a dark room. Make sure there are enough light areas like the playroom and routine area. Te area where children play with manipulative toys or where the educarer reads/tells stories should also have enough light. Tere should be sufficient light and a good distribution of light. Te amount of light depends on the brightness outside and the size of the windows and the position of the room. Main windows facing north will have good light if the window is protected by sufficient overhang, south – facing rooms will be cold and cheerless in winter.
Te choice of colour in the room will determine whether there will be a glare or reflection too. White or pale colours reflect light, while dark colours absorb light. Care should be taken when planting trees as they can block out light when they grow larger.
Lighting and electric fixtures with specific reference to safety measures Electric wall plugs should be out of children’s reach or sealed with a safety guard or furniture.
If a heater or any other electrical appliances are being used in the room, they should be out of a child’s reach. Avoid using any of these appliances close to the children. Adults must monitor the use of electrical cords and appliances. If you use an appliance, be sure that the cord will not trip someone.
