Importance of planning activities???
 

Hi! I'd really appreciate any help on these questions, i cant find any info anywhere and I just need a point in the right direction to get me started:frown:
The questions are:

Explain the importance of involving the individual child in planning activities, play opportunities and education programmes to meet their needs and interests.

Explain the role of the practitioner when supporting extended learning and explain the role of the practitioner when promoting physical activity.

Explain how play opportunities and education programmes can be implemented through, adult led, child initiated and physical play activities.

Explain how planning and implementing activities, play opportunities and educational programmes can support group learning and socialisation.

Any help is really appreciated, Thank you!!:smile::smile:

Hello :)

When I read this I took it to mean....

- It's important to involve the child in planning to incorporate their interests. If they need to work on PSED skills, such as playing in a group, and you plan a fantastic activity outside, den building and roleplaying, but the child you're planning for doesn't like being outside, then the entire exercise is pointless. Instead you're better off planning a small world activity that the child will engage in and feel comfortable talking and working on PSED skills. So you need to meet their needs and interests in a way that is going to appeal to them and encourage them to take part.

- A lot of children love physical activities, but some don't. However, there are so many benefits to being outdoors for children, practitioners need to promote this. This could be done via games such as 'What's the time Mr Wolf' that doesn't require too much physical exertion, but still gives the benefits of being outdoors.

Then just look at how you get education into play, so planned activities which are adult led, and encouraging child led activities which adults then bring the EYFS learning goals into.

And how does planning support group learning and socialisation? They're working on the same themes, all trying to achieve the same things, and all working towards a goal, supports teamwork and socialisation.

1.7 explain how planning and implementing activities, play opportunities and educational programmes can support group learning and socialisation

Can anyone answer this question please
