CHCECE003 - Scenario: Project To Improve Outdoor Environment

[lellymon]

hi can any body help please im a little stuck on the following

Case Study 6
Sparked by some comments that the children had made earlier in the year about their outdoor environment being ‘boring’ and that there was ‘nothing to do’, you had a critical look at the service’s outdoor play area and decided that the children were right. Everything was artificial and plastic. So, in consultation with the children and families, you embark on a project to improve your outdoor environment. Once finished, your play area will have a ‘fairy garden’ complete with bridge, a wooden jetty and boat, as well as a dry river bed for the children to play in. A week after your environment ‘makeover’ is finished, a few families (who gave no input in the planning phase), approach you to express concern about how dangerous they feel the new features are, and that they would like you to remove them before a serious accident occurs.

2. Identify five information resources that relate to risk taking, natural environments and active physical play that you could share with families within the service to justify the changes you have made. In your answer, include the full title of each information resource, and/or website including the web address to clearly identify the resources you would direct the parent to.

**i thought that i could provide the NQS Area 3 but not sure if im on the right track and i cant think of any other resources can anybody help please

Try googling the following terms for more information:

risk taking outdoors early years
natural environments early childhood
active physical play in early childhood

You should be able to find some information using the key phrases in Google.

Hope this helps,

Hi,
This might be a silly question but did you have to draw up a plan to support your answer or just give the table in?
