- Think And Challenge
- You want to provide an outdoor learning experience in a local woodland area for a the under 3’s in your setting.
- What health and safety issues will you need to consider?
- How will the ages of the children and the stages of their development impact on what activities you will do with them?
- How will the weather impact on what you decide to do for your activities?
- How will you record what the children have done?
- How could you work with the parents to increase learning and enjoyment and potentially allow parents to be able to continue the learning at home?
- It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the responses you have to the above scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague or friend and ask them to tell you whether they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your assessor.
