13/2/2024 - A trip to the nursery

After the morning break, I went over to see the nursery. While it is very different than nurseries back home, in terms of condition, there are so many similarities. Similar to us, the walls are covered with the alphabet, numbers, the days of the week, and the months of the year. But there are no toys in sight, and the desks are bare and void of colour. Despite all that, the children are full of smiles and laughter. While the children were a bit shy at first, when we brought out balloons for them to play with they were in their element and the games began…regular balloons, water balloons, balloons with gravel to make noise, holding the neck of the balloon tight to make a squealing noise, and blowing up the balloon and letting it go to watch it fly away…the children loved all the different ways the balloons could be used.
