Cluster 1 - CASE STUDIES 2

Case Study Three This scenario involves Sparkling Stars Childcare Centre. Trang is working as an assistant educator in the Sparkling Stars Early Childhood Education and Care Centre observing a group of children in the outdoor play area and notices that four of the boys are running around screaming. She monitors their behaviour for any unsafe activity but besides being very noisy their behaviour is safe. After a few minutes of doing this, the boys start pushing each other. Trang quickly tries to intervene but unfortunately, Simon pushes Isaac too hard and he falls, tripping over the step rail surrounding the sandpit. You rush over and notice Isaac, holding his left arm and huffing and puffing strangely but appears to be unhurt, the next thing Trang hears is Isaac screaming as he realises there is blood on his fingers. Trang approaches Isaac to inspect his arm. She notices that he has an abrasion that is approximately 2 centimetres and a cut that is about half a centimetre.
