scaffolding (Smidt 2009, p. 85). Early Years Learning Framework is considered as a national scaffold and guides in developing curriculum within early years settings (DEEWR 2009, p. 46). Scaffolding is defined in the Early Years Learning Framework as ‘the educator’s decisions and actions that build on children’s existing knowledge and skills to enhance their learning’ (DEEWR 2009, p. 14).

Children experience the positive social impact of school recess in several ways. Chiefly, a child will learn how to communicate constructively with other children.

throughout all years of education, preschool is the beginning of formal children’s education and it is argued that children begin understanding and acting on gender as young as one and half (Rainey & Rust, 1999). Children learn through reinforcement early and quickly about what it means to be a girl (passive, quiet, polite) and what it means to be a boy (strong, intelligent, loud). Educators and teaching materials enforce this in preschools. However, it is possible to analyze and overturn gender…

Pairing them to observe and identify the balloon inflation was worthwhile; it gave them strong social network. The second objective was exacting and meaningful. The children were able to demonstrate the mixture of vinegar and baking soda. They were curious to see the outcome and figure out how the gas was produced. For instance: They…

1.1 Within early years, free play is an integral part of the curriculum as it allows the children to socially interact with each other, investigate, use their imaginations and work within their own capabilities. However, for the child to be able to work at a higher level, within the zone of proximal development ((Vygotsky) Daly et al, 2006, p. 111) it is crucial that the adult helps the child to become a successful learner. The adult scaffolds the child’s learning through working in partnership…
