Abdullahi sat and watched enthusiastically as the teacher made cheese with the older children. Though excited, he was able to control his impulsivity and listen first before calling out. He volunteered to help and displayed confidence by being involved and interested in the new learning. The experience supported Abdullahi's math and science concepts like numbers, fractions, colors, shapes, volume, time, heat, floating, sinking, and cause and effect. Going forward, similar sessions will continue to incorporate educational concepts into nutritional activities and play that Abdullahi enjoys.

Written by: T. Natasha This morning T. Maysoon joined us for group time and kindly made cheese with all the over two children. Making cheese takes a significant amount of time, the beginning of which involved you sitting, listening and watching to understand the ingredients and how it was going to work. You sat up straight with arms crossed smiling with excitement occasionally you would begin calling out and chatting away before remembering to listen first. I heard you exclaim ME! ME! Teacher me! Review of learning While being exposed to the new concept of cheese making alongside your peers you were developing many essential positive leaning dispositions that will be a great asset to you teno pai! I was most impressed with how you managed your impulsivity although very excited! When you volunteered to help you were displaying great confidence, while being involved and interested demonstrated courage and trust. By reflecting and revisiting your learning with me you were applying past knowledge making connections of milking cows with milk from supermarkets. I was happy to see you volunteer and persevere with the unfamiliar/risking failure. Abdullahi your math concepts of number, fraction, colour, shape, volume, time were supported and extended as well as your science concepts of heat, floating/sinking, cause and effect. Where to next? We will continue to offer you nutritional sessions as well as incorporate math and science concepts in to your play. I noticed throughout this experience your enjoyment of nutrition and life skills.
