The children in the Early Level have been continuing to develop friendships and are beginning to understand what a friend is. During their play, the children have been working together, laughing together and helping one another. Through a variety of learning opportunities, the children are also becoming aware of what it means to be healthy. Visits to the local Co-Op, cooking in the kitchen, and being involved in active games outdoors have helped to develop their understanding of healthy foods and exercise and how these keep you healthy. Through role modelling from practitioners and their peers, the children have also been carrying out daily hygiene routines, such as washing their hands before having snack.
