1. Describe how the different kinds of play you have planned stimulate and aid learning.
Provide specific descriptions of the play and how it stimulates the children and aids their
learning.
There are different kinds of play such as physical play, social play, constructive play, and
fantasy play. I have planned different kinds of play which stimulated and aided learning. I
would like to describe about the play in the kitchen. The children pretend to cook, clean,
and save the world. This helps them in nurturing the imagination and improves the sense of
adventure. This kind of play stimulates the children and aids their learning. This will help
them to learn essential skills such as sharing, caring, working with others. This helps them
to concentrate.

how these play activities are appropriate for the children under your care.

children with additional support needs as outlined in their personalised support plan.
There are different kinds of play which I selected. These are exploratory play,
manipulative play, constructive play, dramatic play, physically active plays, language-
based plays, music, and movement plays and creative plays. The toys, materials and some
resources which are provided are the important parts of the play. There are many safe toys
and equipment which can be bought from different sources like shops and educational
supplies. At the centre, there are some children who were not mentally stable, the time I
was doing my placements. These children needed some special care to support their
activities. I implemented some strategies which helped the children who required special
care. These strategies are making them feel secure and letting them know that the educator
is there to help them.
