Activities Activity 1A Estim ated Time 60 Minutes Objec tive To provide you with an opportunity to explain how an aspect of children’s learning can be supported through the learning environment and materials, identify how the environment and materials of your current workplace support learning and development and how this might be improved, and summarise and provide examples of how to promote sustained shared thinking 1. Choose an aspect of children’s learning and explain how you can provide a learning environment and materials to support this. Answer: Children aspects of learning include social and emotional development, physical development, intellectual development, and spiritual development. Among them I am choosing social and emotional development. To support children emotional and social development, the learning centre or place should be belonging, welcoming, comfortable, and safe. The environment must be caring, relax and children should consider as a second home. It is educators and centre management responsibility to ensure that children feel secure and belonging in their centre. To ensure such environment, educators or centre management should have the variety of resources which encourage children to work together, directly which will help children on understanding of who they are and how they can contribute to the world. For examples, request children to create group picture, ask them to play together in task, encourage their innovative skills etc. 2. Think about your current workplace. In what ways do the environment and materials support children’s learning and development? Are there areas that could be improved? Answer: As answered in previous question, indoor activities as asking children to work together in group task in classroom, encouraging them to be innovative, creative etc support their learning and social development. Outdoor activities as climbing, jumping, running, cycling, digging muds or sand are the materials which support children physical development and learning. Building blocks, toy cars, painting, colouring, with these activities children can engage on touching, smelling, tasting, or listening. Discussing, reading experimenting, constructing etc are the material in the centre helps support the intellectual development of children. 3. What is shared thinking? Summarise in less than 25 words. Give three examples of the ways that you can promote opportunities for sustained shared thinking. Answer: Share thinking refers to continually finding a shared interest to explore more which can be either between educators and children or between children. Three examples of the ways that we can promote opportunities for sustained shared thinking are:  Adulting modelling/sharing own experience  Asking open-ended questions  Showing genuine interest.

A child’s learning environment and the materials within it should reflect the diverse world that we live in. Provide four ways to do this. Answer: Four ways to show that children learning environment and material within the centre reflects the diverse world that we live in are:  Sing a wide range of song in the classroom with children,  A range of foods from all around the world,  Celebrating the festivals or holidays which are recognise worldwide.  Selection or artwork that show world diversity. 3.

Activity 1C Estim ated Time 30 Minutes Objec tive To provide you with an opportunity to respond to a range of workplace scenarios, identifying how to implement modifications to the learning environment Answer the following questions in reference to your own workplace. 1. A child that uses a wheelchair will be joining your service. How is the environment already suitable? What modifications will need to be made? Answer: When children use the wheelchair, that means they need the additional requirement. In this case, looking towards the services, the service centre does have only ground floor which is good to get access to anywhere even for people who use the wheelchair. In the services, there is separate the toilet facilities for those people who need additional support. The tables, in the classroom, kitchen is of the appropriate height which is required that children who use wheelchair. Outdoor game layout will be rearranged so that they can be involved in group while performing task. But the modification needs to be done in the bookshelves because bookshelves got in high position with variety of book. In this case, assistance will be supplied when needed for those children who need additional needs. In this way, available resources will be accessible by everyone. 2. A child about to join your service has minor attention issues. In what ways is your environment suitable for them? Are there any modifications that will need to be made? Answer: That will be the more challenging task if any children in the centre has the attention issues because it is related to the psychological or emotional development. In this case, educator must develop such environment where their good behaviours are getting noticed and made a positive comment of it. Neglect the misbehaviour for children but not the children. Support them and try to encourage them on doing right things rather than scolding, punishing them while they are misbehaving. 3. One of the children using your service has developed a keen interest in boats. How can you modify your environment to expand on this interest? Answer: If child in our service has developed a keen interest in boats, then we can modify our resources, materials, and activities accordingly because centre priority is to focus on learning through play. We can introduce various resources relate to boat as constructing boats games, amine videos on boats and its parts, how to ride the boat etc into the centre. And make those resources, material accessible to all the children either interested or not interested.
