Post Learning experience Review and Evaluation:

Achievement: The learning experience fitted well with the routines and rituals of the
children. Children who were going to sleep after lunch they had great time exploring the
sounds, instruments and participated in the shared learning experience in the morning.
On the other side, children with two sleeps, had opportunity to explore the learning
environment after lunch. Both the groups were coming back and forth, engaging with the
learning experience.
Able to achieve the goal and extend children learning through open ended questions,
interactions and feedbacks.

Reflection: How can I create the environment that engage children in wider and larger
community. For example, both groups coming together and engaging in shared learning
experience.
