Some sharing from Nic...

How often you allow your children to play in the garden? Or do your children have the opportunities to play outdoor? It is important to let the children to have some outdoor activities at least once a day. Over here we let our children have the opportunity to play outdoor every morning before they start their activities. For younger age babies is good for them to have some morning sunshine rather than just aircond room all the time. Meanwhile, for the todlers to run around at the outdoor garden to refresh themselves in the morning and it is very helpfull for their physical development, especially gross motor skills, body cooridnation. Besides that, I would like the children to have more contact to the natural enviroment. As nowadays everyone is talking about how to safe our natural enviroment, I feel that from the early years we let the children to know what is the nature enviroment, and let them appreciate it. The best way is let them live with the natural enviroment, let the children have more opportunities to touch, to see, to feel the natural things.

Love Our Planet!!!

The 1st boy... Mr. Hassan

"We are from Kairo, Egypt..." thats what the mother and the grandfather told me when the 1st time I met them. Together with two little boy, Tom & Jerry...Aiks...Just kidding! They were Hassan and Hussein. Anyway, they do behave like Tom & Jerry. You get what i mean? Yes, trying to get each other into trouble! Haha.

This Egyptian family arrived 2 weeks ago before they came to us. The mum said that she need someone to handle Hassan, the elder son. 'Handle?' what a word for a child? after five seconds she told me about this i understand her situation. Hassan is a very strong characteristic child. He is very smart, only thing is he come with a little bit of agressiveness, especially with Hussein, the younger brother.

"Ok, we will try our best to work with him." thats the words that I had told the mother and grandfather with full of confidence...and there started our stories with Mr. Hassan.

And this is our very 1st boy from the another part of the world...Mr. Hassan. Isin't he looks innocent? Haha...
Every morning i went to his condo fetched him to school and sent him home after his afternoon nap around 3.30pm.

Hassan is a very inteligent boy, he has his own thinking,own way. That is a hard part when we trying to work with children with very child centered method. We had to follow the child and guide him to the right path. Its to let the child has the opportunity to think and voice out their ideas. As well to build up a child's self esteem as they will have their right to make a decision for themselves, which Dr. Maria Montessori always mention, freedom with limits. Yes, with limits! I very agree on it as without limits then that is no more a freedom!

Besides that, we did face a big challange as in language problem. he speaks Arabic, but good thing that he can understand English. We did learn some Arabic from him as well, such as "fluse (sounds like this)" which means 'Money!', "Lak" which means 'NO!'

We had great time together with Hassan, altough we been scolded, punched by him. I been hugged and kissed by him as well! Altough the kiss full of saliva =.=''' Anyway, I think the two teachers are the one that had best experience working with Hassan.

Oh ya! I havn't introduce the teachers in the centre...

Thats teacher Lean Nee (green shirt) and teacher Loty(orange shirt) with the children at the pool.

Oh, back to Mr. Hassan...he did bring a lot of experience for all of us, joy, laugh, anger...However, he had went back to his country together with the family after 1 month with us. The parents told me that they can't really suit themselves in this country.

One of the precious picture of Hassan that i like it very much.
