The activity is an outdoor activity
involving a few kids and three instructors.
The activity is about just moving soil from
one place to another. The instructors are
digging up the earth. All the kids have their
buckets or carrier to move the dirt. The
activity seems like familiar to the girl
sucking on to the pacifier, no doubt, but
properly doing the activity using proper
apparatus is unfamiliar to the kid. So the
little girl is very nicely coping with the
change under the close observation of the
instructors. As the girl clearly don’t possess
the strength to dig up an ample amount of
soil, she is being helped with their
instructors (Youtube, 2013). The
instructors are digging up the earth, and kid
is moving them. Furthermore, the kid is so
much interested that she is approaching the
instructor who is digging the soil to repeat
the task of moving the earth.

The kid involved in the activity seem like
enjoying the activity, and she is very much
playful about the task as she is moving the
soil with the little green carrier she have at
hand. Also, few other kids involved in the
activity are holding a digging apparatus
with the carriers, although they are not
digging up soil that much. The instructors
are doing the digging up. Also, they are
distributing the earth, so the girl have to
trust the instructors and be playful with
their instructors. The energy of the girl also
energized the instructors. They, too, seem
to be having fun (McInnes & Elpidoforou,
2018).
So when the girl is moving the soil, she is
figuring out different ways to put the earth
to use appropriately. While doing, she have
to find a proper workable way that will let
her use the whole soil in their carriers.
Furthermore, the instructors are helping the
girl too to show her what they should do.
While finding the proper way, she is
getting stuck. When the kid is getting
stuck, they are using a range of activities to
Expressing an idea or a feeling
In a range of ways eg. Oral language,
gesture, music, art, writing etc.

The kid seem to be very much happy while
doing the activity. Also, the level of
concentration is showing on her face. Even
the instructors are enjoying the outdoor
event. The gesture of the kid are showing
that she is very much interested in the
activity. Through the activity, the girl is
communicating with other kids and
instructors at the same time. Like the girl
who is approaching the instructor with her
carrier to take soil, she is corresponding to
the instructor very well (Longley & Gilken,
2019).
The activity is also helping the kid to self-
evaluate. The girl is learning about helping
others from the instructors. Furthermore,
by concentrating on what is happening
around her, the kid also learning about
contributing to the program. The
instructors are learning about taking
responsibility for the kids. The instructors
are so good at their duty; the kid do feel
totally safe with the outdoor activity.
