Provide a rationale for your design
I. To support my design we need to create an atmosphere that is welcoming, inviting and engaging. Where they can develop their skills and interests and become independent and confident learners. The environment will create a happy, safe and feeling comfort in a place where all different type of age of children belongs. In my design I have created a lot of activities for the children that includes the following...
II. Having a large open space where can children to play together and having time out for them self and running around without getting hurt. There are Tables, chairs, shelves and mats where all the activities go. For guideless to support the children I have used mats where the children can spot their favourite activities and there are able to focus and concentrate. Materials can be used for the children: pencils, coloured pencils, crayons, paints, chalks… can be used for colouring books, puzzles and educational book-toys and other materials.
III. Safety: Children having access to furniture and materials and equipment suitable for the educational program. Enough toys for each child to play with. Furniture and equipment are safe, clean and well maintained. Educators should follow the rules before staring the programs for the children. Having safe shelving and storage areas from which children can access equipment for their ages. having a safe environment where all the children and safe.
IV. Children using a range of natural, recycled and simple homemade materials to support their learning. Children need to interact and explore with their surroundings, to make meaning and knowledge through their experiences, social interactions and negotiations with others. An environment that is safe, attractive and comfortable will allow the children to engage in the experiences that are offered.
V. Vygotsky: problem-solving and self-help skills. This allows the child to learn and experience things on their own and problem solving such as riding a bike or reading a book. that when the educator comes in and helps the child to understand and learn them the right way. That will make the child feel supported and encourage the child to learn more.
VI. Paper Play Dough: EYLF Outcomes: 1: Developing knowledge and self-confidence through new skill development, manipulating Play-Dough and utensils. 2: sharing materials and experiences 3: fine motor skills through Play-Dough. 4: Developing creativity, imagination, enthusiasm, confidence and persistence through creating with Play-Dough.
