Being one of the oldest children at Annur Childcare Centre, Eifad is very
mature and independent. Everyday he would be the first to finish all of his
food. Recently, he has been addicted to the train track set. He would build a
very long train track along with a few other children. The train track was so
long that it would go under the shelves and tables. He was very proud of
what he has achieved. He came to me and said Look, I build a long train
track. Every time someone broke the train track that he build, he would be
very mad and upset. I told him Its ok Eifad. You can build another one. A
longer one. He start building it again feeling excited, thinking about how long
he can build it this time.
Masha Allah throughout this activity, Eifad has gain some useful skills such
as creativity and problem solving. Eifad has developed his self-confidence as
he is feeling proud of his success and feel a sense of accomplishment. Using
his creative imagination, Eifad is able to put train tracks together in a variety
of ways. He was also able to think of different scenarios for roles to play with
the train set, creating stories in his heads relating to trains and other toys that
he bring into the mix. He has develop his problem solving skills which will be
a critical part of lifelong success. Every aspect of life involves the ability to
solve problems, whether solving simple problems or complex problems. By
playing with the train set, Eifad was able to learn how to build the tracks so
the train can continue to move without obstacles. He learns how to organise
the trains in a manner that increases the trains ability to move smoothly.
Annur Childcare centre has lots of activities that can challenge Eifads
creativity and problem solving skills. InsyaAllah I look forward to observe
Eifads learning development.
