The writer concludes that if the activities are engaging and exciting this will encourage the children to want to learn, which will then in turn make the lessons run more efficiently. Thus, the children will be getting more from the lessons.

From the Paper:

"For the lessons to be engaging it will take a mix of assessment and planning. Previous lessons can be assessed, based on how the children responded to the activity e.g. if the children met the Intended Learning Outcomes. Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum asks the question; Do you review the environment and the resources after each session? The children can also be asked to see what they thought of the lessons and if they would have changed the lesson. The feedback that will be received depends on the age and ability of the children. This will make the children feel like they are participating in their own learning. It will also show the children that they are able to communicate with their teacher and share their feelings, therefore they will listen when the teacher has something to say - mutual respect. Then the children's responses and personal reflections can be combined to have a more effective outcome."
