Child-initiated play is one of our most important training modules for our team. Supporting our children to problem solve and to emotionally regulate through play is vital in developing their early learning experiences and creating confident young learners. Whilst holiday camps and wraparound care are places that the children come for fun and games after their long days/terms of lessons, it is still our responsibility as Early Years Educators to provide some learning based experiences and development opportunities for our children. We love to do this in a way that isn’t seen as ‘learning’ by the children and encourages them to develop themselves. Items we covered in our most recent training to support our children in our settings: - Open-ended activities - intentional questioning - intentional atmospheres - various accesible resources What do you do to support children’s self-development? We would love to hear your ideas and techniques 👏🏼

SABBATH  Building Upon the Rock In one of our year-end activities, I played the song “The Wise Man Built His House Upon the Rock” as a message to our grade school pupils. I told them that now was the time for building, that they did not have to wait for junior high school, senior high school, or college. If they excelled in those times, it would be because they had learned well today. I told the young pupils that their life would be built upon what they had learned in these tender years.  We start building when we are young. In 1986, a book titled All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten by Robert Fulghum became popular. Among the things he wrote in the book were: “Share everything. Play fair. Don’t hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Don’t take things that aren’t yours. Say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Take a nap every afternoon. When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together. Be aware of wonder. Goldfish and hamster and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cup—they all die. So do we. And then remember . . . the biggest word of all—look.”  To all these, I added another word: pray. In the future, when they are already adults, this is one of the things they will go back to over and over again: when they recited their prayers before they went to bed, when they prayed at school assembly, when they visited the Lord in the church. These faith experiences will make them stronger. They will be like the wise man who built his house upon the rock. Fr. Joel Camaya, SDB   Reflection Questions: What are you doing to build your life on solid rock? How do you strengthen your faith?  Lord, let me listen to Your words and act on them. Amen. Today, I pray for: ____________________________________
