Hi, it does link with cyp3.1, 3.2 and EYMP 5 for the way children's language develops, to support cypop 1 and help re-organise understanding it might be helpful to visit them again. The optional units help to embed the learning that's been gathered through the core units. xx
Current research highlights how learning takes place in different ways:
Children learn by copying others - A.Bandura, the importanc of modelling.
Children learn through their own experiences - hands-on / first hand and through the repetition of those experiences - experiential learning, schema
The importance of early experiences - the variety and the sensory focus of good early experiences supports the need for practitioners to plan ahead using child led interests - as it would be hoped that these will provide opportunities for children to participate, support and expand their learning.

---------------------
Pre-conceptual - eggs and sperm are fragile meaning that there are factors that may impact on their 'health - the parent's to be lifestyle eg. if advise to reduce smoking, recreational drugs, alcohol would be given, parents age and what that might mean, if a recommendation to take folic acid supplements prior to conception is acted on.
Moment of conception - as an egg is fertilised by the sperm/gamete, 23 chromosomes from the father are shared with 23 chromosomes of the mother providing the baby/foetus with 46 chromosomes. It is this moment that the genetic down syndrome can occur providing the baby/foetus with an additional 1 chromosome, an extra copy of trisomy-21.
