Reflective Journal
Today was an excursion to the Queen Victoria Markets, which was part of the Inquiry
topic for the prep classroom- farm to table. This excursion was part of a number of
lessons, beginning with children discussing farms and what they believe comes from a
farm, a visit to Collingwood Childrens farm, elaborating on what they already knew,
adding what they had learned and then a trip to the Queen Victoria Markets to find
the types of food we eat.
I was part of the preparation and planning of the market trip. Throughout this
preparation, I was able to see what processes and the duty of care needed to be
undertaken whilst participating in an excursion. This included the participation/
permission notes, what you need to state on these and any questions teachers need to
ask parents. First-aid, allergies and anaphylaxis is also crucial whilst participating in
an excursion, noting that we had 1 child who was anaphylactic and therefore
observing the processes needed to be undertaken, including ensuring his epipen was
packed and carried by the leader of his group. I was able to be accountable for one
small group; this included constantly ensuring these children were by my side and
taking responsibility for them throughout the travel by tram to the Queen Victoria
Markets and back to the school, whilst also taking care of them throughout the
visit through the market.
