Firstly, I would like to Acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land. I pay my respects to the Elders past, present and emerging. For they hold the memories, the traditions and the culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across the nation .

Reflecting upon my country visit to Point Cook Coastal Park .It was a beautiful natural park which featured abundant birdlife ,sandy foreshore ,huge trees and open area exhibiting flora .When I went there I was mesmerised by the beauty of nature that was visible in that place . Some relation with the place could be developed here .It draws upon frameworks and methodologies that acknowledge place as lively and generative and acknowledges children’s place relations as mutually formative and significant to a sense of belonging .Place could be viewed as an assemblage of heterogeneous human and nonhuman actors, entities and forces and also place as an inherently pedagogical contact zone .Similarly we can use place - based education , it is an approach to learning that takes advantage of geography to create authentic, meaningful and engaging personalized learning for students .

Science is a way of investigating, understanding, and explaining our natural, physical world and the wider universe. It involves generating and testing ideas, gathering evidence – including by making observations, carrying out investigations .

Children Learning Science through place

It is evident that from birth there is a innate drive to make sense and understand the world . Reflecting upon that science is based on 5 principles : Uncertainity , openness to possibility , cooperation , Intrinsic motivation and Intentional action .
Similarly when I will take children to this Coastal park they can learn Science indirectly  based on above principles .
They will learn about living and non- living things by seeing trees , plants , birds ,water and different animals . They can also learn particularly about different animals(Zoology) and plants(Botony ) based on different colours and sizes of them as they can differentiate it by seeing and touching them .
Another way to learn Science is through risk taking ,here children will learn themselves after failing .We have to view mistakes as opportunities to grow children's brain . Moreover they get prepared for challenges .
STEM learning occurs naturally through play and when children are natural learners , curious in nature , they do not require adults to give them instructions -here teachers acts as facilitators . Children uses a wide range of reasoning processes that form the underpinnings of scientific thinking .

Through my this country visit I realised that there are hundred languages to express ourselves and these languages are symbolic and open to the endless potential in the children .Even nature expresses itself through these languages for instance birds chirping , water in motion , leavs moving ,rain drizzling and so on . Similarly in book 'Hundred languages ' its written that there are multiple ways of seeing and multiple ways of being .The hundred languages approach sees children as individuals who are capable of doing and communicating their unique abilities in extraordinary ways .So as an early childhood educator we should view children as an competent and naturally curious learners and should put great emphasis on encouraging them to be more creative .
This will also help to achieve outcome 4 of EYLF :Children are confident and involved learners and Sub - Outcomes  ;·       *Children develop dispositions for learning such as curiosity, cooperation, confidence, creativity, commitment, enthusiasm, persistence, imagination and reflexivity.
*Children develop a range of skills and processes such as problem solving, inquiry, experimentation, hypothesising, researching and investigating
Moreover proving them opportunity to learn freely and use 'learner -centered approach ' while teaching .

Title - Learning with Nature
As I walked , listened birds chirping ,
Could feel the rain drizzling .
Walking along the path ,
Crushing grass under with wrath .

As I passed behind the big tree ,
One green and blushing smile on me .
Moving along the shore of a beach ,
discovered water giving its own speech .

As I moved under the clear blue sky ,
dancing waves did kept me high .
Playing with children in the play ground ,
One could just hear their joyful sound '

As I learned there are 100 languages to express yourself ,
describing to the world and people  ,about me and myself.
Two of them be 'Music and Movement '
which my future students in their learning path will implement .
