D1- Creative play
Junk modelling is a good activity to encourage children’s play: this helps with their creative skills. In junk modelling, you provide children with recycled items like boxes and tubes, the children can use these materials to build something, for example a child at my placement build a train made out of a box and milk tops. The children can also build things like a rocket, bus, house, car, to build something; the children are using their imagination.

Having the ability to model random shapes and materials into 3D objects give children a boost in their self confidence, and a sense of achievement, and they will feel proud with what they have made. The children will …show more content…
need to visualise the end result and make the transition from rubbish to a model using a fine and large motor skills. The children will learn to share while doing this activity. This type of activity would be done with from the age of four years. Junk modelling is also an early learning about recycling.
D3-
This activity would be set up on a large table, with various materials, such as milk tops, boxes, paper, card, yoghurt pots, tubes, and various recyclable things. These would be spread out on the table, with the equipment they will need, like glue and scissors, also there would be some pictures of models that have already been made, to give the children some ideas of what to make.
D4-
When setting things up for the activity, you have to make sure there are no sharp edges on the objects, you have to have someone to supervise children while on the table, to make sure that there are no spillages and that they are using scissors correctly.
D6-
Junk modelling provides children choice because the children have a range of materials, and colours, and different props like boxes and toilet roll tubes. Junk modelling allows children to use their imagination to create something out of junk.
D7-
Junk modelling would have to be adapted to support children’s needs, like if a child has a hearing impairment, or are deaf, you could provide a picture chart, that explains what they child will be doing in that certain activity, or you could have a sign language specialist that will sign to the child explaining what the activity is. If a child is in a wheel chair, you would make sure the table is accessible for the child to work on, and have someone to assist the child to help them.
C1-
In junk modelling a child could use the materials and props to make a train, bus, tram, house etc. A child can build many things out of junk, using their imagination of what it might look like, before building the chosen idea. Children are learning how to use their imagination to build something, and they will be learning about what they have made.
Physical play.
D1-
Chase games and hide and seek are good games to play when encouraging physical play, by doing this, the children will be exercising as well as having fun. The children can also twist the rules of some of the games, and make it their own, by doing this they are making it more enjoyable. More children will participate in physical play by playing chase games.
D2-
The purpose of physical play is to keep children active, fit and healthy. Physical play gives children a break from their working environment. Children learn many physical skills, e.g. fine manipulative skills are learned through playing will small equipment, and balance, coordination, and gross motor movements are learnt through vigorous play. Develop awareness of space, develops muscles, stamina and coordination of their movements.
D3-
This activity doesn’t really need to be set up, but if you wanted to get the children to play a certain game it might need some equipment setting out. You could set out several objects the children could use to make up a game, thing like sponge balls and bean bags.
D4-
It is important that the school gates are shut properly, and are locked so that the children can’t get out. Also it is important that the staff know about medical problems like asthma, so that they can keep an eye on the certain children. It is important to check the area for broken glass, broken toys that they children could hurt themselves on.
D6-
By playing chase games and hide and seek, will provide for children’s choice, because the children can make up games of their own, or add to the games that are being played. The children will e using their imagination to make up a game of their own, and might use props in the game to make it more interesting.
D7- physical activity might need some adaptations, one might be if a child has learning difficulties, you could explain the game in simpler words to help the child understand, or you could print out plaques will symbols and pictures as instructions. If a child was deaf, you could have a sign language specialist to sign to the child. Investigative play.
D1-
Mini beasts are good activities to do with children, because the children will be recognising wildlife and animals, and will be identifying the characteristics of the animal or mini beast.
D2-
Investigative play helps children to investigate and explore new materials and how to play with them. Investigative play is also creative because children should be free to explore and they may also be expressing themselves. Investigative play is another way of saying that the child is looking around and is being interested in what is in the playground, the insects, birds, or the games that the children are involved in and want to play.
D3-
You could set out the activity by having a table in the playground with some magnifying glasses, trowels, buckets, plastic mini beasts of the animals they might find outside in the playground, you could also put disposable cameras on the table, for the children to use, to take pictures of what they find, this will make the children attracted to the table and gets them interested in investigating the insects, to see what they can find.
D4-
It is important to make sure the gate is locked, so the children can’t get out, and that the children are supervised while doing this activity. It is important to make sure that the plastic bugs aren’t too small incase a child puts it in their mouth and chokes on it, and to check all equipment before letting children use it, make sure that there are no sharp edges, or if they are broken.
D6-
This provides for children’s choice because they can choose what area of the playground to look for mini beasts, or they can investigate the plastic bugs to see what the real ones may look like, and identify what the bugs are called.
D7-
This can be adapted for children who are deaf, by having someone to sign to them telling them what they are doing, or they could have a plaque with pictures to help them understand what they are doing, also if a child is in a wheel chair, it is important to make sure there is someone to assist the child, to pick things up for them, and to help them investigate the bugs.
D5-
When creating a play activity it is important to get down and look at it from a child’s point of view, and to see if it is attractive. While children are playing, the practitioner will be asking them question like what are you making/ doing. The practitioner will also interact with the children, get involved, and listen to the children, also deals with unwanted behaviour. The practitioner will also make sure that there are no sharp objects or anything that can harm the children.
D6- Meaning of spontaneous play.
The term spontaneous is used to describe play, activities and learning that are unplanned. If an adult was reading a story when it suddenly started to hail, the children are fascinated by the sound of the hail stones, and the adult decides to take the children outside so that they can touch and feel them, and encourage the children to touch them, to realise they are little balls of
ice.
D8-
Anti-bias practice is used when working with children. This means that adults in the setting do everything they can to make sure that all children are treated fairly and equally. The aim is to give every child opportunities to do well. Discrimination may come into this. It is important to include children in all the activities, or to adjust it so that all children can do the activity.
B1-
It is important to allow time for children to have some choosing time, for example letting children have the opportunities to do things independently/for themselves. Also you should extend their thinking by asking questions, and letting them mix up play materials, for example letting children use the building blocks, dolls furniture and people to play with. By letting children choose what they want tot do, gives children confidence and independence.
A1-
It is important for children to have plenty of opportunities to choose what they want to play with and to decide how they want to play. The role of the practitioner is to act as a facilitator- that is someone who helps children to ply rather than directs ( tells them what to do). How to encourage children to direct their own play depends on their situation and their age.
A*-
It is important that children choose their own play, because if you tell a child what to do, they are not being independent, and the child might not like what you ask them to do, and the child might feel patronised if they are being told what to do. There might be some issues when allowing children to choose, for example a child might be disabled and can’t do something by themselves, and struggles to choose something to do, because he needs enough room for a wheel chair, and be able to reach, also if a child has autism or behavioural issues might have difficulty choosing, and may get frustrated, when you see a child getting frustrated over something, it is a good idea to go over to the child, ask them what is wrong, and help them, and it is vital that children’s self esteem isn’t damaged while choosing time, praise children for good behaviour.
