IM NOT SURE HOW TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION does it mean like building sandcastles etc......?
SUPPORT THE CHILDREN IN IDENTIFYING ASPECTS OF THE 'AREA OF INTEREST'' WHAT AREAS OF PLAY MAY BE SUITABLE AND WHAT RESOURCES (PHYSICAL AND HUMAN0 THEY REQUIRE?
OBSERVATION THAT IDENTIFIED THE AREA IF INTEREST?

hi thank u for ya replys sorry the late reply back the modele numba is CHCIC301D any help would be so much appreciated and i have tried to work on one question at a time but dnt understand sum of what they are asking me like im not sure how to word my answer

HI there
I think that you could mention that they are no longer parallel playing (if this is the case - usually by 4 it is) and are involved in play that involves others, that they are showing respect for other childrens ideas and appreciating differences.
As for how learning around this interest could be extended through play - perhaps using items to pour and measure the sand - cups/jugs etc, this is learning through play.
Resources could be the measuring implements, or providing cars & see if they build roads etc.
Safety - clean sand, syringes,sharp sticks etc - you could say sandpit raked regularly/cleaned regularly/topped up or whatever the case may be.
Caregivers role could be a facilitator, rather than taking over the play.
Hope this helps
Cathiek
