Xi Huan: did a scanvenger hunt with the young ones - where we played spot the "item" together.

# data[].attributes.body
The children made use of tree barks, pebbles and shells for their creations. The activity allowed them to express their creativity and imagination (e.g., "I make a house for the panda."). It also reinforces their concept of lines and shapes, and is a good opportunity for them to practice sharing with one another.

Creating Purposeful Play Beyond Classroom_ Loose Parts Nature Activity

# data[].attributes.body
Children were given rubber toys as their loose parts and a shape template of their choice to trace around. They were also given the freedom to use the toys to create something they liked, beyond just tracing around the shape.

The children truly enjoyed themselves through this activity, and it was fascinating to see the different ideas that they have. Some of them even requested a certain toy that they wished to use for the activity.

Through this activity, I have learned that we should not restrict children when it comes to creativity. We should encourage them and even prompt them further, and allow them to come up with different ideas.

The children explored different loose parts materials such as wood pieces, rings, and sticks. They arranged and combined them to form their own unique designs.

The children truly enjoyed the activity, and it was amazing to see their ideas grow when given the freedom to create what they wanted.

Through this activity, I learned the importance of letting children explore their imagination and encouraging them to keep creating rather than being satisfied with their first attempt. Many started simply by creating a face with eyes, a nose, and a mouth. But as they explored further, they began adding more thoughtful details such as ears, hair, and cheeks.

Suhailah -Loose Parts Nature Activity

# data[].attributes.body
Infants developed fine motor skills, sensory awareness, and creative expression by picking up and exploring various leaves. They also built on their language and literacy skills by engaging with repetitive descriptive words as they listened to the educator describe the colors and textures of the leaves using words such as 'rough,' 'smooth,' and 'soft.'

A variety of leaves in different shapes, sizes, and textures were provided for the infants to explore. These were placed in shallow trays or plates on the floor, making them easily accessible and allowing the infants to choose freely. Before starting the main activity, infants were given ample time to explore the textures of the paper materials. Throughout the experience, educators asked simple, open-ended questions such as, 'Do you like the texture of this leaf?' to encourage interaction and response. The activity concluded with the infants pasting dry leaves onto DIY frames, supporting their fine motor development and allowing for individual creative expression.

This is my reflection. Tan Bee Ling

# data[].attributes.body
1. Yes, purposeful play was evident in today's activity. We made use of the materials that can be found in the natural environment even though it was conducted indoors. The scavenger hunt was evident as it required us to head outdoors to find the materials on the checklist.

2. I will try the loose parts activity with my class children. As they are of younger age group, most of the natural materials used might not be suitable for them to use. The loose parts activity can be tweaked to use suitable materials instead.

What can be done if children are unwilling to participate in the outdoor learning activity? Or if they are uninterested in heading outdoors? Any tips to manage this situation?

1. it is evident as we got to explore the garden during the scavenger hunt and use natural materials to make an object

2. will try out the scavenger hunt as my class enjoys exploring about plants and animals outside, good way to record down the things they found

3. will encourage children to use the natural items found around them in the outdoor environment for the activity

# data[].attributes.body
It did included purposely play as we had to walk around and find for the specific leaf. By walking around and finding the items, it is intentional for the child to be on the look out for the targeted items.

I’ll let the children complete in the loose part activity as I find it interesting and that it will allow them to be innovative in it.

我觉得今天的活动有融入到户外玩耍 因为可以促进老师与幼儿的沟通 让我们学习到如何带领幼儿进入去户外活动从而促进幼儿的技能与探索！

我会选择loose parts 来作为我的户外活动 给幼儿与同伴足够的时间来一起进行讨论并设计

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, children see and touch different types of objects, plants and learn about the environment around them .

I would like to try the plant scavenger hunt with my infants class. But will modify to suit their age.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that purposeful play is evident as the children will get to spend time outside doing the activity involving nature. I will choose the loose part activity to try out with my class. I will get the children to use the physical setting which is a big field at the club area and get the children to collect the nature resources around the area. -Suhailah

# data[].attributes.body
Yes as children were given opportunities to be engaged in a creation activity using natural materials.

One activity I’d like to implement is the creation activity. I would also like to explore more outdoor spaces that we can carry out activities with the children.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, it helps me understand how important play is in the learning of children. I’ll try the scavenger hunt
