DOCUMENTATION
Anna was playing with her friends in the sandpit area. Anna was pretending to cook in a pot, then Layla went to get
water from the tap. She brought some water in a cup. Logan put some water into a pot on the sand, and Anna was
mixing it using a stir-fry. The teacher asked Anna, “What are you cooking, Anna?” and she replied to the teacher with
a smile, “This is cake." The teacher said to Anna, “Wow, it looks delicious." The teacher asked Anna, “Which flavour
cake are you making?”. Anna replied to her teacher, “This is a chocolate cake," and then the teacher said, “I love
chocolate cake.”.
Anna came next to Logan, then picked up some sand on her hand and added some more sand to her pot. Logan saw
her doing that. He picked up some sand on his hand and tried to add some more sand to the pot. Anna saw that, then
Anna said to Logan, “Just wait, Logan." Logan said to Anna, "Okay,” then she started to mix the sand that was in the
pot using her two hands. After finishing making a cake, Anna served it to his friend Logan. She said, “This cake is
ready, Logan,” then picked up the cake and gave it to Logan by saying, “Here you go,” "enjoy.”.
Anna saw her friend drawing on the table. She came out of the sandpit and sat on the chair. She asked the teacher for
a paper, and the teacher gave her one. She started to draw. The educator asked her, “What are you drawing?’’ and
Anna replied to the teacher, “I am drawing my family." She said to her teacher, "Look, Miss Rita, I wrote my name on
my paper." The teacher said, “Wow, that’s great.”.

Discuss the experience of how we can mix the flour and take turns while mixing it.
Body I will let the children put the ingredients on the container using the spoon, so they do not
fix them all.
Let the children mix all the ingredients together, where they will demonstrate how each
ingredient should be measured and mixed properly.
Children will take turns mixing the ingredients, and they will share the spoon with each
other. The teacher will guide them while mixing ingredients and assist them in determining
what they need to add more to make the flour perfect for making cookies.
Conclusi At the end, the educator will put the cookies in the oven to cook them and encourage

Play pedagogies
Child initiated play: Children develop their interest in cooking and mixing the flour of
cookies. The teacher provides all the resources for this experience to mix all the ingredients
in the container. The educator also instructs them while adding ingredients and
measurements to make the perfect flour dough for their cookies (Irving & Carter, 2019).
Interacting:
The teacher interacts with and responds to the children during preparing the flour for the
cookies and assists them in measuring the perfect ingredients for the flour (Arthur et al.,
2020).
Teaching strategies

implementation,
acting and doing
Yes, Ann has achieved her learning objectives as she was engaging with other children and interacting with them
during the cooling experience, where she learned the names of the ingredients and observed the cooking process
while mixing the flour.
I was instructing and encouraging the children while mixing the floor and encouraging them to mix the flour properly.
The teacher supports the children by interacting and asking an open-ended question such as “What is your favourite
flavour?’’.
