On Friday the 7th May, we had a visit from the vision and hearing nurse from the District Health Board. She was testing 3-year-old children for hearing and 4-year-old children for both hearing and vision. Netana, Acaica, Jorja, Theo and Oly joined me in the quiet art room and met Leigh who was doing the testing. The children are learning about keeping their bodies safe by being a part of small tests that check two very important senses. I stayed with the children to make sure they were comfortable; they all enjoyed meeting a new person, and participating in the tests. Leigh made it like a game for them, so they were at ease. I took some photos of the children and they were excited to look at them afterwards on the camera. The children looked at the different machines and equipment and questioned things when needed, to understand the process better.
Children develop an awareness of the connections between experiences within and beyond the early childhood setting; and gain knowledge of the wider world and the role of other adults" (Te Whariki)
