Need to explain
a)Your program is flexible, vibrant and supports children’s learning and uniqueness in
positive ways.
I have chosen the program playing with the mechanical tools which is flexible because it
help the children in increasing the creativity of the children. The program increase the manual
dexterity which and also increase the coordination of the hand and eye which support the
children I developing their life long skill. The uniqueness which the children learn through this
activity are the learning of the science by exploring the natural phenomenon. The watering of the
plant program is also very unique program because it learn the children how to care and love the
plants. The watering of the plants increases the empathy in the children which increase their
emotional support and helpful in the development of the cognitive skill (Göl-Güven,, 2022).
b)Your program provides opportunities to follow up on high interest activities
The program playing with the mechanical tool provides the different opportunities to the
children by increasing their mobility of skill. The mobility of skill help the children in strengthen
their physical power (Lamrani and et.al., 2018). The playing with the machine increase the
learning opportunities of the children regarding the safety acquire the life skill. The mechanical
5

tool playing activity also increase the confidence level and cooperation level of the children
which is very important in their growth in the future. Watering of the plant activity is also very
important for the children because it learn the children about the nature and the science and by
watering the plant the child can also understand the importance of the planting, mulching and the
cooking. The playing with the mechanical tools help the children in providing the opportunities
by increasing the high up interest by development of the foster creative growth (Gauvain, 2022).
The playing with the mechanical tool sharpen the memory of the children as well as also
strengthen their physical mobility of the hand. The watering of the plant also increase the
opportunities to follow the high interest activity because it increase the love of the children to the
nature which make them children healthy. The watering of the plant enhance the environmental
stewards in the children.
c)Your environments are age appropriate and set up incorporating the interests and
abilities of the children
The program of the playing with the mechanical tool has set up in the hall which has the
proper space and proper lightening and having the airy environments which create the positive
and healthy environment for the children activity. The hall is appropriate for the children having
the age of 3 years because children needs more comfortable in the care centre rather than other
place. The hall has proper facilities like the availability of water, lightening and the fan. The hall
has accessed all the proper material which can be used in the activity program. The hall is
decorated in very attractive way which has increased the interest of the children in the activity
because they want to spent more time in the activity room (Loh, 2022).
The garden has selected for the watering the plant which is appropriate place for the
children because the garden has monitored by the educator properly before the activity. The
selected garden has more bushy grass and situated under the tree which is shady area. The garden
area are not in the too hot place so it help the children in increasing their activity. The garden has
also near proximity to the bathroom it is the appropriate place for the watering. The mug which
has provided to the children have the different colour and the shape which attract the children
towards the watering of the plants.
d)Materials and resources are natural and familiar to the children
The equipments, toys and the materials which has provided to the children are made up of
plastic which is easily accessible to the children and prevent the children from the harm. The
6

child are very small in this activity so the plastic are appropriate for the children because they are
familiar with the plastic toys since their childhood (Quiñones, 2022). The materials which has
used in the watering plants are also made of plastic and of small size which help the children in
carrying the water in easy way.
e)You have provided opportunities for children to modify their indoor/outdoor
environment.
I have provide the proper opportunities to the children by providing the proper resource
to the children. I have provide the cardboard to the children for making the cars and different
toys by using the cardboard. The indoor environment has modified by painting the different
kinds of picture of toys and tools on the wall which increase the interest of the children in
playing with the mechanical tools (Verriest, 2018). For watering the plant activity I have
provided the different shape of the mugs to the children, reward program by giving the chocolate
to the children who will water the more plant.
f.You have supported children’s efforts, and encouraged them to persist with a
developmentally specific activity/task they found particularly difficult to master.
While watering the plants some children's are struggling to handle the water container so the
educator supported them with that or provided them with the water pipes. The educator teaches
them in between the activity about the surrounding and the importance of saving the water. The
educator also supported the children's with the mechanical tools and encouraged them to take
support from other and have interaction with the other children also and perform the activities in
group (Chapman, 2022) . The educator make sure that all the creative idea and the question of
the children must be encouraged and solved so as to develop their knowledge and skills.
g. Consulted with the children about the experiences and the materials that they might
need to be available to them.
The educator was encouraging the experience of the children and also asking them some
question. The educator is also noticing the children's behaviour and the their interest in the
engagement. The educator is noticing the needs of the children's. The educator also supported in
performing the activities (Sollars, 2020) . The educator asked the children about the difficulties
they are facing and then tried to resolve that. Some children are struggling with the water
container so the educator facilitated them with water pipes. The educator also help the children in
handling the mechanical tools which the children are not able to hold.

h. Routines such as mealtimes must be considered in your program. How do you maximise
these routines and ensure they are valuable learning experiences?
The meal time has developed in between the activity in both indoor and the outdoor program
because it increase the energy of the children. The children has provided the biscuit, cup cake,
milk and juice during the meal time which is healthy and the light food and not increase the
dizziness in the children after taking the meal (Ornstein, 2018). The meal time and meal
provided by me are very helpful in increasing the learning experience of the children.
i. Ensure your reflective journal includes:
How you created possibilities for peer scaffolding
The educator asked one children of the group to dig the plants with the plastic spade and another
children to water the plants (Larrea Muela, Miranda and Barandiaran, 2019) . The educator had
given few mechanical tool so that children share their tools to each other.
How you organised routines and supported learning through play
The activity is planned in such a way that the children have the enough time to enjoy and have
their meal. The educator managing the activity without any conflict and teaching children's to
share the things.
How you created opportunities for learning through play intentional teaching
The educator is asking question in between the activity and encouraging this collaborative
nature. By watering the plants the educator (Damania, 2020).
How you supported play experiences initiated by children
The children are provided with the enough time to perform the activities and encouraging their
efforts. The educator also get involved in the activities to help the children's.
How you encouraged children to gain skills and perseverance; and
The children are encouraged for performing the activity and various methods are also suggested
to perform the activity so that the children's are well connected with the activity and enjoy it. The
educator is praising the efforts made by the children during the activity (Sakr, 2019) .
How you gave children access to resources and material.
A volunteer was assigned who guide and provide the materials to the children. The volunteer
make it sure that the children have not to wait too much to get the access. Some materials are
kept at the height where the children can easily reach (Bourke, O’Neill and Loveridge, 2018) .
8

The water pipes and the water container are kept rotating between the children so that each one
get the experience. The drinking water is served to children time to time and before the meal
time coordinated hand washing is done so that the children do not have to wait to much and
avoid the chaos.
