Teaching our children "Teamwork"

Being part of a team is not only related to sports, especially in early years. Our children engage in lots of activities that require teamwork. In class, they are usually asked to work on projects in pairs or in groups and, they play games which require them to make teams.

 Also, teamwork brings many benefits for life because it helps develop social skills in our children: listening to others’ opinions and ideas, conflict resolution, motivating others, and even supporting them.

All these things help your kids make friends at school and at home. Sociable kids are usually popular kids and teamwork is a big part of that.

The only way our children can find the success they deserve in life is having the ability to work with others. They will achieve their goals in life faster and more easily when they get help from those around them.


 

Healthy Eating for Children

Dear parents,

 

For young children, eating healthy food is not as easy as you may think. What they want - cookies, sodas, French fries, lollipops, fast junk food - is the easy option. Getting them to eat healthier can be difficult, and takes time but worth it. Starting early with a variety of good food is the best way, fruit and vegetables are very important in a family diet. Also school meals must promote healthy eating.

Last week Ponies learnt about food, fruit, vegetables and some differences between them. Children realized what kind of food they eat every day during the break time, at home and, how important is to eat healthy food in first place.

 

Today, Ponies made a delicious fruit salad. Everybody wants to peel, cut and mix the fruit, some children eat it with yogurt and others with cereals, but they really loved the activity. Hope you can do it again at home.

Always remember “Good healthy nutrition is the foundation for good behaviour”

Thanks a lot for your cooperation !!! :)
