Approaching to week 6, I continued with the colour learning journey with peg & board experience and helped the children to develop their cognitive skills of problem-solving skills in stacking the pegs on boards beside colour recognition learning. The children were not very enaged in much; however, they still made their attempts in play. Therefore, I transferred the colour learning into something they were interested in, which was sensory-play, and that made me to come up with the idea of playdough experience on the following week, Thursday 26.10.2023. Most of the children enjoyed outdoor play where they would run, jump and did a lot of physical play, it could prove from the curriculum that children always spent time at outdoor, almost every days in a week. From my observation, that one child really interested in leaves and natural, who would always approach the bush at the yard and pick up the dry leaves under the bush, which made me add leaves to the playdough experiene. In the same week, I noticed that some of the older children started mumbling and pronouning words and most of the children were starting to recognise their name when they were called, I added on name recognition learning beside sensory play, which I adapted from Vygostky’s theory that I scraffolded the children’s learning and development and enhance their learning to have better outcomes (Mcleod, 2023a), I did a group time greeting with the children with their name tag flashcards on Thursday 26.10.2023.

Heading to week 8, I continued the group time greeting with children on Thursday 02.11.2023 and Friday 03.11.2023. During week 8, it was a week that the centre celebrated Halloween which Halloween related experience needed to be planned throughout the week, therefore, on Thursday 02.11.2023, I put up the “pumpkin making with playdough”, as I reflected on the previous experiences we had on Monday and Tuesday that pumpkin experience was implemented already, and I changed the experience to “ghost and spider making with playdough” on the day. The reason of choosing play dough for this experience was that children were interested in the playdough since the last play dough play. Moreover, they seemed like to play with friends at the tray tuff which I implemented another “painting and decorating craft” on Friday 03.11.2023, specifically was painting little triangle ghost at the tray tuff as a group time after we did group greetings.

Moving to week 9, I did group reading (Thursday 09.11.2023) instead of group greetings to enhance children literacy learning in-depth of meaning of words and pronunciation. Moreover, it was National Recycling Week, I did a few experiences about recycling experience which were “cardboard with pop-sticks” on Thursday 09.11.2023. A “Firework painting with paper rolls” experience also was implemented on the same day to introduce and celebrate Diwali with the children, as according to Bronfenbrenner’ theory, I believed children would learn from their community and surrounding, so that they should learn about their community and how to respect diversity at their living and learning environments (Guy-Evans, 2023).
