Cedarwood babies learn how to care for babies
The learners of Cedarwood learnt how to carefully hold babies and how to care for them.
Cedarwood School embarked on a journey of teaching their learners how to take care of babies in their youngest years. They learnt about the safety of babies and how to carefully hold a baby.
Teacher Retha Kok guided them through the whole process, and they were happy to learn the different ways a child can be held and taken care of. “We used dolls that represented real babies and they excelled at it.”
“We teach the pupils to take care of babies, especially toddlers. It is important to provide safe physical care for babies. The pupils have learnt how to pick-up babies and support their little necks. They learnt various safe positions to hold babies as well as how to bathe a baby,” she added. She was so proud of watching the whole process unfold. “It brought me joy that some learners knew how to hold the babies. They were eager to learn and that made me happy.”
After the lesson, the learners gave feedback on what they learnt in the class and how it will help them in the future. They thanked their teacher Kok and went on to share what they had learnt with their parents at home.
