TASK 6
Learning Environment Plans
Indoor Learning Environment
Indoor learning environment plan would include hands on activities,
1. Hands on activity plan- building mud pies where every child would be sitting on their own seat and moulding clay would be given, which they could mould into pies or anything else.
2. Building blocks – Chairs and seats would be set aside and the middle area of childcare would be used. Blocks would be distributed in a group of 2 kids and a square box would be allocated to every group.
Outdoor Learning Environment
1. Nature area/environment plan– This outdoor plan would be performed in the garden where a territory would be marked. Kids would have to collect different type of leaves, rocks, bark or seeds within the territory.
2. Social area/plan- Picnic table with benches would be there, where chairs would be situated away from noise and play. Existing tables would be used as picnic tables.
Written explanation
You will need to include a written explanation of your reason/intention for each of the two (2) plans/sketches and the resources that will be used (maximum 400 words).
Explanation for Indoor Learning Environment
Hands on activity would help the kids to inculcate their imagination and creativity in building mud pies. It would also inculcate their motor skills and hand eye coordination. Likewise, building blocks would generate interest of kids such as, Jasmeet towards learning in indoor environment in a more efficient and creative environment.
Explanation for Outdoor Learning Environment
Nature area plan would not only allow kids to be physically functional but also it will allow them to be aware towards environment and develop connection with nature surrounding them. Likewise, the social area plan would help the kids, which faced issues in socializing such as Ashray and sometimes Jasmeet too.

General objective of the experience
Taking a consistent chore could be considered as a huge responsibility for the targeted age group. By taking care of the environment, children would be able to develop the sense of care, self-esteem as well as help to develop independence and confidence among them.
Resources to be used
· Garden and the plants in pots
· Watering kettle
· Water buckets or tanks
Evaluation/reflections
This would allow kids like Jasmeet for behaviour correction and also helped to reduce the resilience as well as autonomy rather, both of these behavioural issues shifted towards autonomy and positive self-esteem. Likewise, Ashray was able to develop the sense of responsibility as well as confidence, which he lagged.
Follow up experiences
More such activities such as sweeping the floor, arranging the toys after playing and other duties could be assigned to children in order to help them develop the above discussed aspects.

General objective of the experience
This learning experience would require kids to first write about their role model or any other famous personality, which they admire. Later they will have to speak up why they like them, which would help to express their thoughts, feelings as well as judgements about others. Further, this would also help them to develop confidence and public speaking skills.

Evaluation/reflections
This activity allowed children to identify their thoughts and then express them with others. Further, it allowed Jasmeet to understand that every kid have their own choice and can not agree with him every time. Likewise, it allowed Ashray to eradicate the public speaking fear and helped Nova to enhance her confidence at stage.
Follow up experiences
More such activities are required to be arranged at childcare and this time in the outdoor environment. Future activities could also involve parents and this would further enhance children’s psychological development.
