Information Sharing
This information will be disseminated via:
 E-mail  Written note  Noticeboard  Other:
Provide a copy of the information given to your fellow educators.
This is to inform all the educator that we need your valuable feedback and suggestions wherever or
whatever needed in the assessment of outdoor play space:
 Outdoor play allows the children to develop self-confidence and self-esteems.
 Children develops awareness about their limits, and boundaries and challenges in their play.
 Children will be able to try new activities and develop new cognitivism.
 Outdoor playing will strengthen gross motor movement skills.
Outdoor playing is also important for the growth of the children. Fresh air, space and time are
essential for children social and emotional well-being. However, children will get exposed to the dirt
and dust, and always be at risk of cuts and bruises and there will be always lack in safety structure.
As discussed above, these are my assessment.
