Rationale
Part of your role as an Early Childhood Teacher is to plan and implement learning environments and experiences that support children's learning and development through play. These decisions must be underpinned by relevant early childhood research, theory and policy documents.
Task Description
This task requires students to reflect upon key issues presented in Modules 1-6 and design a play space and learning experience for children 0-5 years, supported by a written statement.
Task Instructions
1. You are to design an indoor and/or outdoor play space for an age group of your choice. You can choose from 3-5 years. Your design may be created using any computer program you wish, or it can be hand drawn. Consider the layout of and resources in your play space. Your design photo must be inserted into the template (word document) provided and it must be clearly labelled. Your play space design will need to demonstrate the knowledge and understanding you have gained throughout the unit. Your design choices must be supported by the theories, curriculum and policy documents, and unit content we have explored.

Task 2 I completed on the templete
2. Using the learning experience template provided, you are to plan a small group play-based learning experience for your chosen age group that could take place in your designed play space (approximately. 500 words). Your learning experience will need to demonstrate the knowledge and understanding you have gained throughout the unit. It must be underpinned by the theories, curriculum and policy documents, and unit content we have explored.
Task 3 :a written statement
Your play space design and your play-based learning experience must be supported by a written statement (1500 words), justifying your choices for the design and learning experience. You must make clear links to the Early Years Learning Framework (AGDE, 2022) and relevant early childhood theories, research and literature, including the unit textbook.
THIS IS THE WHY. Why have you made the decisions for your design and learning experience?
You may write two separate statements (one for design, one for template) OR you can write a large statement and include elements from both. You can organise your statement into paragraphs based on: 1) Theoretical ideas 2) EYLF outcomes 3) Module themes
