LDC 3 Blog Term 1 Week 5- 2024

Nina marni to all children and family.

Welcome to our weekly Blog !!

This week we continued with learning intension 1 as we observe children still taking interest in this area.

To challenge children’s construction skill, discover their own interest ,abilities and limitations and explore their ideas ,creativity ,imagination and STEM Experiences

Why :

  • Educators observed and reflected on children’s interest about construction.
  • STEM education in early childhood allows children to begin to learn and retain a knowledge base that they can build on as they get older. 
  • ‘Loose Parts Play’ develop a sense of independence as children have the freedom to explore different materials autonomously.
  • Loose parts Play encouraging language development as children communicate their ideas and knowledge with their peers, educators and parents.
  • It builds a creative thinking, problem-solving, curiosity and abstract thinking skills as children explore the materials and discover new ways of playing with them.
  • It enhances fine motor skills as children pick up, hold and manipulate loose parts materials in multiple ways.
  • Construction play helps children to collaborating, sharing and belonging as children interact with each other’s to complete the task.
  • Block play Increases gross motor skills as children move and transfer their creations and use them in further imaginative play.

Learning Intention 2: To support children to recognise and regulate their emotional states 

  • We believe that each child will react differently in similar situations.
  • Supporting children to understand and manage their own feelings, thoughts and behaviour.
  • It is important that a responsive approach to individual child is provided rather than expecting or directing behaviour.
  • To support children to understand and manage their own feelings, thoughts and behaviour.
  • To support children in building a strong sense of well-being.
  • To remain accessible to others at time of distress, confusion and frustration.
  • A strong sense of wellbeing provides children with confidence and optimism which maximise their learning potential. 
  • To encourage the development of children’s innate exploratory drive, a sense of agency and a desire to interact with others. 
  • Supporting children to develop the capacity to understand, self-regulate and manage their emotions in ways that reflect the feelings and needs of others.

This week we talked about emotions and it helps children feel happier and cope better with hard situations .
