ROOTS OF EMPATHY

On Thursday 28th November we had our last visit from Amanda Murray who was our tutor for the Roots of Empathy. We made thankyou cards for Amanda and presented them to her.We also thanked Amanda for being such an awesome tutor. Amanda presented us with graduation certificates.
We have really enjoyed having Baby Minti and Prims visits to our classroom.
Some of our fondest memories are:
Seeing Minti for the first time
Holding Minti for the first time
Minti spitting out the spinach
When she started to copy simple actions
All the happy noises she made
Able to smile and focus on me
When Minti made a mess with a cup cake on her last visit
When she was able to sit by herself
Playing with the toys and banging them together.
Measuring and weighing Minti
When her first tooth appeared
Singing our nursery rhymes and Raps to her
Blowing bubbles when teething
Rolling over for the first time
Watching her growing bigger
Checking her Milestones
Lying on her back and kicking her feet
When she didn't want the toys taken away.
We have learnt how to care for a baby and how to understand the baby's body language.  Our own emotions were discussed, as well as how to cope with bullying.
Most importantly, we now understand the value of empathy.
