learning and development. Answer in 50- 100 words.
Child development define the change which is occur as a child grows and transform into the
relation which is being physically healthy, mentally alert, emotionally sound, social connected
with the number of people and create interaction. As per the case study with scenario, this is well
analysed that the Bill is used to create emotional relationship with the nanny in order to this Bill
wants to create cake for nanny because Bill is emotionally connected and found socially with the
nanny. Moreover, the development and learning of the Bill is based on the dynamic process
which is enhanced by creating the reflection of love and emotional factor which is based on the
complex interplay between a child biological characteristics and the environment. Moreover, the
national quality services and National health services use to follow various guideline which
enable the conditions that show the shaping of the other future growth on the basis of patterns
have a various similarity. In this, the major implications for the children are experience which is
reflect the adequate behaviour for the growth. As per the analysis, it is analysed that will have

example symbol used to create cake for Nanny because Bill is usually connected with Nanny on
the basis of emotional factors and with psychological approaches. As per this, on the basis of
above scenario and understanding the child development is basically based on the mental alert
and emotional factors and will the development and learning be also accumulated with these
parameters.
Link the above analysis to the Elements in Approved Learning framework.
Learning frameworks are usually include principles practices and various learning outcomes
which is usually helpful to guide educational leaders and educator in the curriculum decision-
making and assist them in planning. Moreover, there are also play a vital role in order to deliver
and evaluate the quality program in the early childhood setting. With this, Bill is used to prepare
cake for the nanny then it is well determined that Bill also know the favourite things of the nanny
in order to create the cake. As per this, Bill is usually used chocolate and strawberries in order to
get attention that Nanny likes chocolate and strawberries. Moreover, they also decide some of the
creations by putting the candles in the corner to make the cake more beautiful this all aspects are
extended and show how the development which is based on the emotional and psychological
factors are formulated in the Bill case.

Give two examples of the experiences you could use to extend Bill’s learning and development.
As per this, there are various research on the basis of developmental biology and neurosciences
which provides various aspects of area for the development of children. Over the development of
a children is based on the cognitive and educational psychology which is usually create a greater
contribution in order to create the understanding for the development of child. Similarly, there
are various skills and concept are used to achieve by children in their early age. Moreover, there

them: their special gifts and special needs. This is the theme that is evident in James T. Greenman book, Caring
Spaces, Learning Spaces. The EYLF also has ‘Learning Environments’ as one of the eight pedagogical practices
that promote children’s learning Conduct research and develop ideas for indoor or outdoor environment which
supports the following aspects of children’ learning.
Aspects of
Children’s Learning:
Ideas’ that support this aspect: You can include the following - Photos
and web links of the activities/experienced you have researched.
Children need an
environment rich in
experience
It is defined as the children mean and environment which is rich in
experience are usually beckoning world that invite the child. As per this,

Age Group: Pres school kids (2-3 years)
Description of the activity
or experience:
Balls are essential toys. 1 Babies naturally gravitate toward rolling
objects. The constant movement of a ball will captivate your child.
Children can feel in control of something other than their own
movements when they play with balls.
Reason for the activity or experience: You can introduce them to my infant as soon as possible because they
develop motor skills and educate tiny ones with their surroundings.
Developmental domains: Toddlers will love exploring the capabilities of a ball as well as the
many consequences of bouncing, rolling, tossing, and kicking it. 2 As
your child progresses from autonomous and parallel play to
collaborative play, which is critical in the development of social skills

such as learning to share, obey rules, and negotiate, a ball will remain
an exciting object.
Materials and resources: Balls, professionals, child development authoritative
EYLF Outcome: Develops brain functioning
Play area set-up Ball activity at this age aids in the development of grasping abilities,
eye-hand coordination, tracking, finger muscles, and the capacity to
transfer items from one hand to the other. Infants and toddlers learn
about the qualities of balls cognitively: They bounce, roll down hills,
and are both easy to maneuver and tough to stop. When children play
with balls, they develop a sense of repeating rhythms such as
bouncing, gripping, and squeezing. Just keep in mind that balls for
newborns and toddlers must pass the choke-tube exam.
Steps to take to ensure the
learning environment is engaging
Request that the youngsters sit in a circle. Explain that the goal of the
game is for them to hit a beach ball to each other for as long as
possible without it touching the ground. Add a few challenges when
they get the hang of the game: No one can hit the ball twice in a row,
and kids can only hit the ball with the body part you call out (knees,
heads, and so on).
Steps to take to empower children’s
disposition
Collect clean cans or plastic bottles, and label each one with a bright
color. Assist the kids in stacking the cans, then roll, throw, or kick a
huge ball at them. Have experience-chart paper and matching color
markers on hand to assist youngsters with graphing the colors and
quantity of cans they knock down according on the approach they
choose.

Age Group: 3-4 years
Description of the activity
or experience:
Play is important for children's and youth's development since it
benefits their cognitive, physical, social, and emotional well-being.
Play is also a great way for parents to spend quality time with their
children. Despite the benefits of play for both children and parents,
some children's free play time has been significantly restricted. A
rushed lifestyle, changes in family structure, and increasing focus to
academics and enrichment programs at the expense of recess or free
child-centered play are all factors addressed in this paper.
Reason for the activity or experience: Play interactions show youngsters that their parents are paying
attention to them and aid in the development of long-term
relationships.
Developmental domains: Activity for children is increased and they can learn to develop
relationship
Materials and resources: Tutor, play objects
EYLF Outcome: Appropriate, affective relationships with caring and consistent
caregivers as they relate to children through play play a crucial role in
children's developmental trajectory. 4 When parents watch their
children play or participate in child-directed play, they have a rare
opportunity to experience the world through the eyes of their kid as
he or she navigates a world ideally tailored to his or her needs.

Play area set-up The leader selects two children to play the role of "it."
• Each child who is "it" has a bean bag or foam ball, which they must
use to tag the other children by touching them with the bean bag or
ball.
• All youngsters must hop on one foot to travel around the activity
area.

• When a child is tagged, the bean bag/foam ball is delivered to them,
and they are now "it."
• The leader utilizes cones to create a "safe zone" in one corner of the
activity area.
Steps to take to ensure the
learning environment is engaging
• Children can go to the safe zone for a 10-second break before
returning to the game.
• The leader should define the maximum number of children who can
be in the safe zone at any given time (e.g., just four).
At any given time, only one person is allowed in the safe zone.)
Steps to take to empower children’s
disposition
When a youngster begins to connect with people while playing,
however there is little interaction at this time. A youngster may be
engaged in an activity that is connected to the children around him,
yet he may not be interacting with them. For instance, children may
be playing on the same piece of playground equipment but doing
distinct activities such as climbing, swinging, and so on.
