Supporting Firefighters Day
On arrival to care the children seen all the balloons hanging up, and through out the day care room.
Children in my care show enjoyment with balloons, so it was great to link this to their interests. It also produced curiosity to why they were 'red' balloons. This began conversations to what they represented.

Self initiated sending letters to the 'Prime Minister' requesting more trees and bushes

2:2-Children respond to diversity with respect 

Diversity literally means difference. Diversity recognises that though people have things in common with each other, they are also different and unique in many ways. Diversity is about recognising and valuing those differences. Diversity therefore consists of visible and non-visible factors, which include personal characteristics such as background, culture, personality and work-style in addition to the characteristics that are protected under discrimination legislation in terms of race, disability, gender, religion and belief, sexual orientation and age.By recognising and understanding our individual differences and embracing them, and moving beyond simple tolerance, we can create a productive environment in which everybody feels valued.

2:3 Children become aware of fairness

2:4-Children become socially responsible and show respect for the environment
