Need Clarification on EYLF Learning Outcomes for Activity Planning

I'm currently working on my Diploma assignment and I'm a bit confused about how to accurately link activities to the EYLF Learning Outcomes. For example, if I'm planning a sensory play activity with coloured rice and scoops, would that best relate to Outcome 4 (Children are confident and involved learners) or Outcome 3 (Children have a strong sense of wellbeing)?

I understand that many activities can relate to multiple outcomes, but how do I justify which one is the most relevant in my reflection or documentation?

You’re right that activities often link to multiple outcomes. In this case, coloured rice play supports both, but Outcome 4 is likely the strongest fit — it encourages exploration, problem-solving, and fine motor skills. In your reflection, justify it by focusing on how the child engages, experiments, and persists with the materials. Outcome 3 could be a secondary link if you observe relaxation or emotional regulation during the play.
