Connecting with Practice Series NQS PLP - Sandpit play

This video was developed under the NQS PLP program which was funded until 2014. ECA has continues to provide these videos as a legacy to the original program, however all associated tools and forums are no longer available.
This vignette shows an educator engaging with and supervising groups of children of mixed ages, three to five year olds, playing in the sandpit with implements. An outdoor activity designed and organised to engage every child in experiencing both built and natural environments.
How to use this Connecting with practice-EYLF and NQS vignettes
The Connecting with practice-EYLF and NQS video vignettes are for you to use on your own, or better still, with other educators. The aim is that your discussion will focus on both what and how children are learning and the educator's roles and contribution to the learning. This dual focus will help you use the EYLF to reflect on your practice and take action that will lead to improved ways of supporting children's learning.
These vignettes have been chosen as examples of practice that will elicit multiple perspectives and prompt debate and discussion among educators, rather than merely a discussion as to whether it is good or exemplary practice.
