THCR5010 Workshop 5 I acknowledge and pay respect to

the ancestors and descendants of

the Lands upon which we work,

meet and study. I am mindful that

within and without the buildings, the

Land always was and always will be

Aboriginal Land. This workshop Assessment 2, Part 1 – Learning Experience Plan Why Plan a Learning Experience? Using Your Anecdotal Record to Guide Your Plan

How to Use the Planning Template

Linking to EYLF and NQS

Common Mistakes to Avoid The learning experience plan Learning experience plan Based on the anecdotal record, write

a plan on the planning template of a

learning experience to follow up on

and enhance the pre-school

children's learning and development. Key Word Why It's Important Based on the anecdotal record Your plan must be directly linked to what

you observed. No random activities — it

needs to build from what the child

showed interest or ability in. Write a plan You are creating an intentional,

structured, and thoughtful teaching plan

— not just listing an activity idea. Planning template Follow the required format carefully —

missing parts (like materials or

evaluation) will lower your marks. Learning experience It's more than just play; it’s a designed

opportunity to extend thinking, skills,

social interaction, or understanding. Follow up on You are responding to the child’s current

development —developing their learning

based on what you saw in the

observation Enhance You are not just repeating — you are

extending, deepening, and challenging

their knowledge, skills, or behaviours. Pre-school children Think age-appropriately: children aged 3– 5 years — plan activities suitable for their

developmental stage. Learning and development Your plan must show intentional links to

children's cognitive, social, emotional,

language, or physical growth — not just

be fun and engaging Why Plan a

Learning

Experience? You are building a bridge from what the

child showed you (anecdotal record) toward

new learning opportunities (learning

experience) — using a structured,

thoughtful plan. Using Your

Anecdotal

Record to

Guide Your

Plan Let’s try… https://youtu.be/T7t7jYTvkT4 How to Use the Planning Template

Child’s Name, Age, Date, Your Name • Fill out all identification details correctly. Aim/Objective • Give your experience a name. • Succinctly state what the child/children will learn e.g., “Children will learn to…”

Tip: Use the language from the EYLF to articulate • Link to the specific intended EYLF Outcomes and indicators clearly. Tip: 2-3

LOs to ensure authentic teaching and learning. Make clear and direct

connections — don't just list numbers, explain why they fit. Rationale • Explain why you chose this experience. • Link it back directly to your anecdotal record and the planning cycle.

Tip: Include the date from the previous observation Setting and Timing • Describe where (indoor, outdoor, art area, etc.). • Note when (morning, group time, free play session). Tip: Setting and timing choices should support the learning goal — think

about the best environment and time when children will be most ready to

engage. Remove the red writing – it is there to prompt you! Detailed Procedure and Pedagogical Strategies • Step-by-step guide: what will happen, how, and why. • Include intentional teaching strategies — e.g., prompting, scaffolding,

modelling, questioning, supporting. Tip: Good procedures aren't just what children will do — they also explain

how educators will guide learning intentionally throughout the experience. Column What to Write Timing When each part of the activity happens (start, middle, end). Procedure Step-by-step: how you will run the experience (intro, body, conclusion). Considerations Safety, supervision, group size, space use. Environment/Resources List materials needed (e.g., blocks, water trays, storybooks). Pedagogical Approaches Teaching strategies: How you will guide,

scaffold, extend children's learning

(e.g., open-ended questions,

modelling, prompting). Good procedures aren't just what children will do — they also explain how educators will guide learning

intentionally throughout the experience. Top tips – the

golden rules of

planning! 51作业君版权所有
