Hi a very warm welcome to the site, happy you made it in ok xx
For these you need to think about your workplace and the range of different resources (which are toys, books & other equipment) it has for the children to use and the different type of activities that happen in your setting.
This explanation is from
page 150 of the level 2 EYE course book:
Resources- The quality of resources is essential - they need to be age-and-stage appropriate.
- In group settings, there also has to be enough so that several children can do the same thing.
- Children need to be able to see several possibilities. Where children spend many hours in a setting, resources will need to be refreshed (changed).
The activity suggestions below are just that, if you aren't familiar with them then please consider using another idea that you know happens in your setting as you'll have many more experiences to write about.
