Activity 6 Planning an evolving interest based experience
Plan suitable experience that follows on from the interest. You are required to plan and
implement the project for a week long period based on the web plan and children’s
collaboration. This involves setting up a particular area, observing children’s learning and
modifying the space in response to children’s interactions over the course of the week.
To complete this task you will need to:
 Refer to your web plan and choose an appropriate follow-up experience
 Use collaboration with colleagues and children to guide your planning;
 Create a space to implement your experience - gather resources and identify a space
(indoor or outdoor) so that props/ resources may be organised and left available for
children to revisit and added to in future planning;
Complete plan contributing to it daily. Your experience plan must be reviewed by the
Workplace Supervisor at least 24hrs prior to implementation. Your plan must include:
 A daily overview of the experience including resources/ strategies
 Brief analysis and follow-up daily - changes /modifications need to
relate to children’s exploration/interaction/learning
Once you have implemented your planned project over the week, evaluate how the
experience went. Reflect on your role in the experience and how you managed the interest
and learning. Discuss with your Workplace Supervisor and use their feedback to assist you
in developing a goal for your future professional development.
