Learning Story on- Outdoor Parachute play Date: 1/06/18 This morning we finally got to go outside as the rain had stopped. Isaac asked, “Can we play a game?” This question was discussed between children and educators. A few suggestions were made; “soccer” said Savas; “duck, duck, goose” said Wissam; “can we have the big colour thing we used the other day?” asked Fatima. Upon further questioning we understood what Fatima was saying. It was the parachute, and this became the choice of game decided by children. Once we had the parachute ready we discussed the rules of the game. I and other educators joined in the fun and sat with the children shaking and moving the parachute up and down and side to side to keep the balls on the parachute. As they shook they counted how many times they could move the parachute before any balls fell off. We then after collaboration decided to move our bodies and arms up and down to raise and lower the parachute so we could take turns running underneath it. Elf: 1.1 Children feel safe secure and supported 1.4 Children learn to interact in relation to others with care, empathy and respect. 2.1 Children develop a sense of belonging to groups and communities and an understanding of the reciprocal rights and responsibilities necessary for active community participation. 3.2 Children take increasing responsibility for their own health and physical well-being. 4.1 Children develop dispositions for learning such as curiosity, co-operation, confidence, creativity, commitment, enthusiasm, persistence, imagination and reflexivity. 5.1 Children interact verbally and non-verbally for a range of purposes Follow up: Put colourful balls on the parachute and shake it By this activity children developed: language skills by involving in group discussions and shared decision making about rules and expectations. Educators participated in energetic physical play with children whilst co-constructing rules and expectations for play that initiated from their own ideas. Everyone engaged in enjoyable interactions using verbal and non-verbal language and contributed their ideas in this play. Theorist Jean Piaget believed in Games with rules In this stage, children are able to follow rules of games, changing their understanding of the purpose of rules as they get older. Children in the concrete operations stage are usually also in this play stage (Nixon and Gould 1999).
