Celebrations! Significance during Early Years
Celebrations! Significance during Early Years
Celebrations are a way to stop, cherish and reaffirm the things that we value in our lives. We show how much we care about our families when we celebrate their birthdays; we underline how important our relationships are when we celebrate anniversaries; and when we celebrate holidays and other significant days, we demonstrate to those around us, like our kids, where our values lie.

Celebrations are in fact a brilliant and joyful way to teach our children what we believe in. Also, celebrations spark joy. And joy facilitates learning. Celebrations include sweet pleasures like food, music, games and fun, helping us hardcode an association with pleasure and joy and whatever we are celebrating. A collection of thousands of small celebrations builds the habit to celebrate and in turn hard codes virtues and values that help our children develop the way they see and experience their worlds.

There is a substantial amount of research that supports the many benefits of incorporating gratitude into a child’s life, as well as our own lives. When we allow ourselves to celebrate the flowers coming into bloom, the sun shining on our gardens or even the first rainfall, we are essentially expressing how grateful we are for the wonders found in nature. And we’re passing that gratitude practice on to our children.

Our daily schedules keep us away from our close friends and relatives. Festivals and celebrations bring us together, it gives a good time to rejoice and built strong bonds between everyone. Celebrating with everyone can help our kids to learn the importance of togetherness.

An imaginative approach to helping children experience festivals and celebrations can support their learning in many areas. By explaining to others how they celebrate a festival or take part in a celebration, a child’s self-confidence and self-esteem is developed, and children’s awareness of, and respect for, others’ beliefs is nurtured. Listening to stories at festival time can help children develop a sense of right and wrong, as they re-tell and re-enact the stories. A sense of the passing of time in relation to festival seasons can be developed, and children can use all of their senses when finding out about, and making their own different festival foods, fabrics and artefacts. They can also express their ideas and feelings about festivals and celebrations in a variety of creative ways, including music, dance and role-play. By offering children the opportunity of sharing the joy of others’ festivals and celebrations we can give them a gateway into a world of mutual understanding and shared human values.

This week in STREAM session learners enjoyed a different kind of activity where they used ice cream sticks. They had 9 sticks where each one had a number 1 to 9 and then inserted rubber bands onto the ice cream sticks according to their number. Popsicle sticks are one of the most used materials for creating learning engagements for children. This activity evolved the curiosity among them about number recognition and develop their fine motor skills.
