Report: Outdoor and Nature Play, Child's Environmental Settings

This report provides an analysis of a child's experience in an outdoor and nature play setting, specifically focusing on the environmental context and its impact on the child's learning. The report details the child's observations of the Yarra River, including the presence of eels, trees, and rubbish, highlighting the child's concern for the river's condition and the impact of human activities. It explores how the child learns about the environment, gaining an understanding of nature's resources and the harm caused by human actions. The report references supporting literature to emphasize the importance of environmental awareness and the child's development within the kindergarten program, including the child's understanding of the environment and the need to preserve it. It also includes links to relevant images and supporting research to illustrate the concepts discussed.

OUTDOOR AND NATURE PLAY

Learning through the environment (evidence + literature support)
The child have learnt from the environment that the nature is providing the human with
the plenty of the resources and the materials to have a beautiful life. The nature provides
the humans with the various items of the survival like foods, fisheries, water, oxygen, etc.
that are necessary for the living the life (Mao, & et.al., (2020). The child came to know
that the nature is getting harm from the activities of the humans as they are spreading the
harmful substances in the water bodies creating the harmful conditions for the marine
lives. Water bodies are being spoiled of the human spills in them and people are going for
fishing in the rivers and harming those areas that are demolishing the marine lives in the
water bodies. The river Yarra is having a beautiful surrounding that is providing with the
proper place for the nature site and to have pleasure time in those areas.
Learning in the environment (evidence + literature support)
The got to learn about the positive facts from the surroundings they got in, during the
kindergarten program. The child B got to know about the surroundings and this helped
him in supporting the pursuit of its knowledge by inspiring child in how to work in for
preserving the surroundings from the different problems that the nature faces because of
the humans and how the lives in the environment are getting affected by it. At the
kindergarten program, the child came to learn about the nature and what are the good
things present in the environment. From that, child also came to know about that how the
nature is being destroyed by the human by spreading there spills in the surroundings
(,Papadopoulos, (2019). The child can learn that the in the river Yarra there are lots of
human spills can be founded, for that the child wants that the river must be preserved so
that it can become a good water source for the wurandjeri people and a better place of
living for the fishes and eels. The child founds that the ducks living in the river are living
happily, but they face some problem from the human spills in the river.

Learning for the environment - EforS (evidence + literature support)
According to the (Kaur, & et.al., (2019), this is stated that the above study is related to the well-
being of the child as by following the frame work of the early year learning frame work made the
child learn the things that are related to the successful future of the child by knowing that how to
prevent the causes that are causing harms to the environment and made the child learn about the
things that are essential for the human survival.
As per the view of (Liu, & et.al., (2020), this study shows that the things that have
been made to learn them are not like appropriate as of now and this program made the child learn
the things that are not like for them as of now in the kindergarten.
