An-Nur Childcare.
Asalamo Alaikum and Kia Ora Abdurrahman, your last story was about how you have been
feeling more comfortable with individuals and routines at preschool. As teacher Liz
mentioned, you have been trying different things during the process of settling into the
preschool. I also agree with her observations as I have personally observed you myself
after and during the last few weeks you have been gaining the understanding of how things
work at preschool in terms of adapting to the changes. You are
feeling comfortable to explore the preschool environment
both inside and outside. You have been developing the
understanding of what each area of the preschool represents.
You are aware of the area where the toys are located, where
you wash your hands and where you eat. Your sense of Mana
has been developing and giving you the confidence to engage
yourself in playing alongside other children.
Today when I saw you playing in the sand pit, you were trickling sand between your fingers
and then began to lay in the sandpit to feel the texture of sand. This really showed how
relaxed you are in the preschool environment.
To follow your interests, I came and sat beside you
and picked up the spade help you fill the bucket.
You noticed me and immediately, picked up the
red spade and began to fill the bucket up promptly.
You then took the green spade from me, I gave you
a word to say ‘please turn’, and you mimicked my
speech and said with a big smile, “Please turn.” I
rewarded your good manners and gave you the
green spade. You put the red and green spade
together to measure the differences and
similarities between the two spades. This shows
your mind is developing at a great rate where you are comparing things, showing
progression in your observational skills to help you further in life. You took a few scoops of
sand with the green spade and also added it to the sand already in the bucket. You then
returned the green spade to me showing you have good responsibility. I thanked you and
continued to help you in filling the bucket right to the top. Upon completion, we both
exchanged a stare and emptied all the buckets forming sand castles! Sarah came and asked
me what I was doing, I replied to her
‘Making sand castles’. You picked up on
the words very quickly and said,
“Making sand castle!” You generally
spend a large amount of time playing
alongside Sarah very happily. You
show great enjoyment from filling the
buckets and then topping them over in
a repetitive manner. During the
process you also enjoy singing along
with me “I am digging the sand and
making castles”.
