Sharing Expertise

During the year children, families and staff have enjoyed growing together.  Our relationships have developed, we have reached new milestones, discovered new interests and learned new skills. Over the past few weeks in the garden children have been supporting each other with challenging climbing: climbing the tree, the fallen log, the high beam, climbing up the rope swing to touch the girder and somersaulting over the bars.  It is recently that many children have been supported to develop the skill, confidence and dexterity to use the fire fighter pole. Conquering the fire fighter pole is a right of passage for many of our children at Rachel Keeling. Seeing children persevere, support each other, take risks and find their own way of doing something is such a privilege. When asked how it makes her feel, Hanifa said "It makes me feel so happy!" Inaaya added "When you do the fire fighter pole you have to be brave."
Yaseen told Syeda "It makes me feel happy. Happy ever after!"
