In what Piaget (1962) aptly described as sensorimotor practice play, infants and toddlers experiment with bodily sensation and motor movements, and with objects and people. By 6 months of age, infants have developed simple but consistent action schemes through trial and error and much practice. Infants use action schemes, such as pushing and grasping, to make interesting things happen. An infant will push a ball and make it roll in order to experience the sensation and pleasure of movement.

As children master new motor abilities, simple schemes are coordinated to create more complex play sequences. Older infants will push a ball, crawl after it, and retrieve it. When infants of 9 months are given an array of objects, they apply the same limited actions to all objects and see how they react. By pushing various objects, an infant learns that a ball rolls away, a bile spins, and a rattle makes noise. At about 12 months, objects bring forth more specific and differentiated actions. At this age, children will throw or kick a ball, but will shake rattles.

In a toddler's second year, there is growing awareness of the functions of objects in the social world. The toddler puts a cup on a saucer and a spoon in her mouth. During the last half of this year, toddlers begin to represent their world symbolically as they transform and invent objects and roles. They may stir an imaginary drink and offer it to someone (Bergen, 1988). Adults initiate and support such play. They may push a baby on a swing or cheer its first awkward steps. Children's responses regulate the adult's actions. If the swing is pushed too high, a child's cries will guide the adult toward a gentler approach. In interactions with adults such as peekaboo, children learn to take turns, act with others, and engage others in play.

FOI publication scheme initiative

Posted by DidaN

Every public authority subject to the Freedom of Information Act 2000 is required to adopt and maintain a publication scheme. A publication scheme is a commitment to routinely and proactively provide information to the public.

Please click here for details of the ICO's proposed new model publication scheme.

Public authorities may develop their own ‘bespoke’ publication schemes, or adopt what is known as a model scheme. Model schemes are available for various sectors and exist where a large number of authorities operate the same or similar functions. You can see a list of existing model schemes and find out more about bespoke schemes.

The ICO is currently working with public authorities to develop new model publication schemes under the umbrella of the Development and Maintenance Initiative (DMI).

One of the key changes to publication schemes for all sectors is the extension of the deadline for reapproval until June – December 2008. This has commenced with immediate effect.

In addition to improving and expanding schemes, the initiative is an opportunity for authorities to collaborate with the ICO to feedback on the effectiveness of schemes.

Singing

Posted by DidaN

Singing is the act of producing musical sounds with the voice, which is often contrasted with speech. Contrary to common thought, air is not expelled with the diaphragm, but is inhaled using the diaphragm and exhaled or expelled, using the abdominal and lower pelvic muscles, as with ordinary breathing. The pitch is altered with the vocal cords. With the lips closed, this is called humming. A piece of music with a singing part, either a cappella (without accompaniment) or accompanied, is called a song; someone who sings is called a singer. Nearly anyone who can speak can sing, since in many respects singing is merely a form of sustained speech. It can be informal and just for pleasure, for example, singing in the shower; or it can be very formal, such as singing done professionally as a performance or in a recording studio. Singing at a high amateur or professional level usually requires a great deal of regular practice, and/or instruction. Top-quality singers will have instruction and training from coaches throughout their career.
