Assignment
Support for outdoor risky play
The risk taking at my placement
The children at my placement when they are outside in the playground they stand on the tables, go under it, stand on the sea saw, stand on the rocking char and put the rocking chair upside down and go over it and the teachers just watch the children do it.
Children Have a Natural Ability towards Outdoor Risky Play
The children are able to take risks without an adult telling them that they are not allowed to do something. Also preschool children engaging in outdoor free play indicate deliberate exposures to risk, such as playing at heights and high speeds.
Some examples of children taking risks
A young girl
She is trying to balance on the sea saw in the playground and the adult is watching.
Two children
The two children are taking risks in the playground by hanging upside down on the monkey bars and the adults just watch from far.
A young boy
This boy is taking risks by going up the slide because he is bored and the adults just watch.
Keeping Children Safe Involves Letting Them Take and Manage Risks
Taking risks allowed them to display courage and physical skills to themselves and their peers.This allows for the children to become brave in future in what ever they are doing when they grow up and they will not be scared from anything
