Our Ben - The Learning Curves Gymnast

During a discussion with a group of children today we established that, Ben, is in fact, the Learning Curves Gymnast and I managed to capture a moment of his skills as he expressed with confidence what he can do. In addition to his cartwheels he did a head-stand but I wasn't quick enough to record him. I can tell you though that his legs went straight up in the air and he stayed in that position for a number of seconds before safely rolling down on his back and back to his feet.
With Ben as the motivator and inspiration for this experience, some of his friends joined in to show off his or her moves. This was a fun and very energetic time for us.

A learning story has been added to Ben's portfolio. Harpar, Jiya, Cameron, Eden and master L were very impressed with Ben's moves and practiced some flips and roly poly and cart wheels. 

Roti with Fatima

Fatima, Zahra's Mum offered to come and make Roti with the children on Wednesday, 6th October, 2010. Fatima demonstrated to the children how to make Roti and then they gave it a go. Have a look at the photo story of the children participating.

This Is What Friends Do

In our mixed age setting from 2 to 5 year olds there is many opportunities for the children to take on the role as teachers and we all learn from those experiences. Below is an example of children learning from each other during a normal day at Learning Curves. Don't forget to click on the picture to enlarge and the back arrow to return.
