It was movement workshop at SM and in the class of 3 to 4 year old's, children and facilitators were having a busy conversation on what an obstacle race means and what are some of the obstacles that children face in their lives.
You may wonder, do 3 to 4 year old's understand what obstacles are? do they face obstacles?
As they explored what an obstacle race is and they knew what they need to do when they encounter and obstacle in the race, when we went ahead to wonder about what obstacles means to them in life, they did not find it complicated, they went,
A -"Ma'am when I'm colouring the pencil lead keeps breaking, that is an obstacle"
R - Who was snacking during the online class said, "I'm eating kadala (Peanuts) now so I cannot speak, it is an obstacle"
R - who reflected post class and shared, "When I'm doing my take home, my Mumma is the only obstacle, she keeps telling me what to do"
Now that children are exploring the race and learning to overcome obstacles in the race children are in the process of learning to overcome their life's obstacles through growth mindset.
At SM everything that children learn revolves around purpose and the connection they make towards their lives, which makes them learners who experience and practice their learning and not mere hoarders of knowledge.
