Why should children learn about their ‘self’?
It is important for children to know who they are because they are unique and have individual identities. No one child is alike. Knowing that they are special will help them to have a good self-esteem. Children with good self-esteem naturally exert self-confidence. Confident children will overcome all challenges they face positively. Nonetheless, it is equally important for children to know their physical self. Knowing their physical self will encourage them to care and protect their body (hygiene, health, and safety). Besides that, knowing their body well will add on to their confidence too.

The children learnt about their body parts, the functions of their body parts, and how to care for their body in the first quarter of the year. The learning experiences were carried out through creative activities like making a mask, drawing facial expressions on balloons, building a body using balloons, crawling on stools, hopping around like kangaroos, crawling like little green iguanas, clapping to musical rhythms and watching videos.
