Play / Activity
In the Play/Activity you have to 'identify a need' of the child. This means you have to look at the comparisons you have made between the child's age and the norms, and find an area where they are not reaching average ability. You must then produce an activity that you can complete with child to develop that particular skill.
Selecting and Planning Activity

The need of your child can be from any area of the PIES.
It should be an area which relates to a problem or need.
You should discuss all the areas that you could choose from.
You should then choose one area to produce the activity.
YOU MUST STATE CLEARLY WHAT THE NEED IS THAT YOU ARE MEETING AND WHY YOU HAVE CHOSEN IT.

Relating Activity to need You should then investigate into the types of activites that could solve that need.
Then decide upon the activity you feel best fits the need and discuss how.
Try and be original!
Carrying Out and Recording Task

You must plan the the task to show resources, time, equipment, etc in the same way as would for a visit.
Try and do things with the child, its far better to read about than something boring.
Include in your work any worksheets, games or resources taht you can.
Be sure to take pictures of your activity to show you and the child carrying it out.

Evaluating Be critical about the task, say what things were enjoyed or disliked.
Talk about the planning of the task, the resources you made, and YOU MUST TALK about the value of the activity, ie how it helped the child.
Dont be afraid to talk about the interaction between you and child and the level of enjoyment shown.
