MiC’s #WednesdayWin – Workshop Participation

By MiC Carine 28/08/2019

It’s Wednesday, which means it’s #WednesdayWin day!

Yesterday’s article on how to help your child if they are struggling with reading has received a lot of attention, as it not only explains why some children struggle, but also suggests ways to support your child if she/he is affected.

One of the ways in which you can help your daughter/son is by increasing your own personal understanding of what they are going through in their hampered attempts at reading.

Reading Specialist Angela Charalambous is holding a workshop titled “Experiencing the Child with Learning Difficulties”, which will be taking place in Nicosia on Sat 7th September 2019 at 9.30am. Presented to parents, teachers and specialists, the attendees undergo various exercises which simulate learning difficulties. In this way, they come away with an enriched level of understanding of children that they parent, teach or remediate.

Topics cover: The process of learning to read, Specific Learning Difficulties and associated learning difficulties (including practical exercises), why difficulties occur, processing, concessions, ways to assist.

More detailed information can be found here.

Today we’re offering you a chance to participate at this workshop for FREE, via a seat kindly donated by Angela to you, our readers.

How can I win this amazing prize?

To enter the competition, simply email: carine@mumsincyprus.com with 

“Workshop” in the subject line.

Please also provide us with:

  1. Your full name
  2. The town you reside in (in Cyprus)
  3. Your mobile telephone number

THE COMPETITION WILL CLOSE ON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3 2019 AT 17:00!

The winner will be drawn and announced on or after Wednesday September 4th.

Participation will then be confirmed by Angela Charalambous, the workshop facilitator.

If you want to register your participation in order to secure your place in any case – should you not be the lucky winner -, then you can do so here.

Good luck 🙂

p.s. you’re welcome!

7 ways to help a struggling reader

By MiC Carine 27/08/2019

Reading and learning difficulties

Reading is defined as a cognitive process that involves decoding symbols to arrive at meaning. In our education system, it is a skill fundamental to learning.

 

The process of learning to read

Before formal schooling starts, children are exposed to language, and pre-reading skills by being spoken, and read to. They understand that print on a page tells the story represented by the picture in a book. They develop speech and vocabulary, learn to play with words by rhyming etc. They identify their names and prominent signage (eg. the McDonalds sign) by colour, shape and pattern.

With the onset of formal schooling, children learn that a shape (letter) on a page has an associated sound. This letter-sound association needs to be explicitly taught, and is of course, different for varying writing systems such as Greek and English.

Sounds are blended together to form words, and words are strung together to form sentences which hold meaning. It is initially labour intensive, using extensive working memory. We see this reflected in the static, stilted nature of early readers.

As skill develops, reading becomes more automatic and fluent. Decoding, blending and allocating meaning, happens in milliseconds for proficient readers. Working memory becomes available for higher order skills such as comprehension, analyzing and inferring information from the text.

Why do some children struggle?

Brain scanning research has allowed us to see what happens in the reading brain. For proficient readers, the areas of the brain that process both auditory and visual information (as well as the pathways that link them) are activated during reading. This explains why a child with an Auditory processing or Visual processing difficulty could have problems with reading. For a child with a difficulty eg. Dyslexia, these same areas of the brain are not activated in reading, resulting in slow, laboured reading that persists beyond the Foundation Phase, often with poor comprehension.

Reading is multifaceted, relying on various skills such as motor, vison, hearing, vocabulary, attention and working memory. When a child has difficulty in any of these areas, it can impact on reading, and subsequently, learning.

Like any skill, some children take longer to acquire reading, compared to their peers. In the early years, the difficulty may be developmental, or may persist requiring a more structured intervention and potentially concessions. Early intervention can prevent a reading problem from becoming a learning problem.

What can I do?

If you suspect that your child is not reading at age level, I suggest the following:

  • Check with the teacher what age-appropriate skills should be in place. Sometimes if you have an only child, it is difficult to know where they should be performing. A teacher has a classroom full of children and will be able to tell you if she feels your child is age-appropriate.
  • Check that your child knows her letter/sound association and can decode unfamiliar words. Often children with reading difficulties are extremely bright and develop coping mechanisms such as memorising whole words. These coping mechanisms generally serve them only in the junior years, and problems become evident when the academic workload increases, and children are required to do more independent work.
  • Mix up the school reader and cover the picture to ensure that your child has not memorised the sequence of the story or is relying on visual cues.
  • Check ears and eyes. Ensure that you get a visual and auditory processing assessment done. Visual acuity checks if your child can see, and a visual processing assessment checks what the brain does with the information received from the eyes. A child with a visual processing difficulty may have difficulty distinguishing between letters that look almost the same, difficulty moving eyes across, or keeping place in the text. A child with an auditory processing difficulty can hear, but may have difficulty distinguishing differences between sounds, struggle to block out background noise or make sense of the order of sounds.
  • Be aware if there is a learning difficulty or dyslexia in the family. Difficulties are hereditary.
  • If your gut tells you that something is not as it should be, seek help.
  • An assessment by a Reading Specialist or Educational Psychologist can give you a wholistic view of your child’s strengths and weaknesses and guide you to professional help.

 

My child has a learning difficulty, now what?

Learning differences are unrelated to IQ and have an impact on an individual’s ability to process, store, or produce information. Difficulties often co-exist. For example, research indicates that 30-50 percent of children with ADHD also have a specific learning disability, and that the two conditions can interact to make learning extremely challenging.

Read, read, read, read. Read material that is:

  • Easy – to build confidence
  • Age appropriate – to keep developing skill
  • Challenging (which you would read to the child)- to engage with your child, develop vocabulary, and maintain a love of the written word.

Be patient. Put yourself in your child’s shoes. Understand that if a task is difficult, he is going to be reluctant to do it. Encourage, support, highlight and develop his strengths.

Children with difficulties CAN SUCCEED. Concessions can be put in place as recommended by an Educational Psychologist. Additional time, readers or scribes can be implemented in order for children to achieve according to their cognitive ability and effort. It is very disheartening for a child to be trying and trying, and his results to not reflect this.

In our reading centre, child-parent-teacher-therapist work together as a team supporting the child with difficulties to get through their schooling with their confidence and self-esteem intact. These children are often out the box thinkers, creative, entrepreneurial, with a very good work ethic. They have much to offer the world.

 

Experiencing the child with learning difficulties

The workshop “Experiencing the Child with Learning Difficulties” will be presented in Nicosia on Sat 7th September 2019 at 9.30am. Presented to parents, teachers and specialists, the attendees undergo various exercises which simulate learning difficulties. In this way, they come away with an enriched level of understanding of children that they parent, teach or remediate.

Topics cover: The process of learning to read, Specific Learning Difficulties and associated learning difficulties (including practical exercises), why difficulties occur, processing, concessions, ways to assist.

Presented by Reading Specialist Angela Charalambous

Based in Johannesburg, South Africa, Angela has a postgraduate qualification in Linguistics and is currently researching long-term efficacy of reading interventions. She established The Workshop Reading Centre in 2005 when she brought the Cellfield reading intervention to South Africa from Australia.  Since then, The Workshop Reading Centre has provided reading assessments, remedial intervention and workshops to children of all ages who struggle with reading.

How Waldorf Education benefits children

By MiC Carine 09/08/2019

Sending your child to a Waldorf school is beneficial, as Waldorf schools promote cooperation between the children, free – thinking and learning by experience. Waldorf schools are unique and if you ever visit a Waldorf classroom you will be surprised at what a Waldorf classroom looks like.

Imagine that some of the daily activities can be cooking, knitting and sewing.

Meet your child’s needs

It is a fact that every child is unique and different, with needs that are particular to their style of learning. Waldorf education meets the children where they are developmentally, and addresses their emerging capacities for various skills and lessons.  Not every child learns by picking up a book and studying a lesson.  Not every child processes verbal directions – or written directions. Very few children learn by filling out worksheets.

Children learn by doing, feeling and thinking. In Waldorf schools, teachers educate children by presenting lessons, which address different modes of learning. Each of the lessons contains movement and the arts, resulting in a stimulation of  the child’s intellect.

The unique feature of Waldorf is found in its philosophy, which tailors the curriculum to the stage of a child’s development at various ages.  Children have different capacities for learning at different ages, and so we teach the child lessons they will understand, at the time that they will understand it.  We teach to the child – not to the test.

Develop critical thinking

If you send your child to  a Waldorf school, you do it because you value the benefit of your child being an imaginative, free-thinking person; open to new experiences and differing points of view.

You send your child to a Waldorf School because you value an education which teaches your child how to think – not what to think and not to think like everyone else.

You send your child to a Waldorf school because you value freedom in education – not conformity to testing standards.

For example, a child may experience pressure to join his classmates in teasing another student. This is the time for the child to decide to follow or not follow the behaviour. Sometimes children are rushed into taking a decision rather than given space to think in their own time before deciding.  In Waldorf schools we allow them to make decisions in their own time instead and be responsible for their choices, then we are equally helping them develop the feeling of responsibility and equality. Critical thinking empowers the children in a way that  enables them to face challenges in their future life.

Limit technology

Have you ever imagined a school without computers? Waldorf schools do not use any computers or devices in primary school. The reason is that the Waldorf philosophy encourages contact with real people, in a real environment, in order to build a base of real experience. Therefore, computers are used only when it becomes developmentally appropriate.

It is a common belief in Waldorf schools that children learn better from experiencing the real world than watching a computer screen. Watching the cats, smelling the flowers, feeling the rain, listening to a duck’s call and patiently watching a hen eat her food. Those things are far more interesting and more complex to a child than a computer world.

Sitting in front of a screen becomes a bad habit that also restricts the child from moving and acting in the real world. Waldorf students will not suffer from lack of exposure to computers when they grow up however, instead, they develop essential capacities of imagination, thought and will power.

But do not think that Waldorf teachers believe computers and devices are always inappropriate. As a matter of fact, in a Waldorf high school, you can find students building their computers. In keeping with the philosophy, this is the way to develop knowledge of computers and technology. These students also quickly master computer technology and go on to enjoy a successful career in the computers industry.

“Overall, Waldorf education let the children learn in their own time, when they are ready developmentally. In addition, children obtain strong critical thinking skills and they learn through real life and experiences, which is essential.”

Μάθε πώς η Waldorf εκπαίδευση ωφελεί τα παιδιά

By MiC Carine

Τα Waldorf σχολεία προωθούν τη συνεργασία μεταξύ των παιδιών, την ελεύθερη σκέψη και την εκμάθηση μέσα από την εμπειρία. Αυτά, είναι μερικά από τα οφέλη που αποκομίζουν τα παιδιά από ένα Waldorf σχολείο. Τα σχολεία Waldorf είναι μοναδικά. Εάν ποτέ επισκεφτείτε μια αίθουσα διδασκαλίας Waldorf, θα εκπλαγείτε με το πώς είναι διαμορφωμένη μια τάξη.

Ξέρατε ότι, ορισμένες από τις καθημερινές δραστηριότητες των παιδιών μπορεί να είναι η μαγειρική, το πλέξιμο και η ραπτική;

Βρες τις ανάγκες των παιδιών

Είναι γεγονός ότι κάθε παιδί είναι μοναδικό και διαφορετικό. Οι ανάγκες οι οποίες έχει είναι συγκεκριμένες και το ίδιο ισχύει για τον τρόπο με τον οποίο μαθαίνει.

Η Waldorf εκπαίδευση εντοπίζει το αναπτυξιακό στάδιο που βρίσκεται το κάθε παιδί.  Βάση αυτό, διδάσκει ανάλογα με τις ικανότητές και δεξιότητες του μαθητή για κάθε μάθημα.

Δεν είναι δυνατόν κάθε παιδί να μαθαίνει πιάνοντας ένα βιβλίο και διαβάζοντας  το μάθημα. Δεν έχει κάθε παιδί την ίδια ικανότητα  στη λεκτική  μάθηση ή σε γραπτές οδηγίες. Πολύ λίγα παιδιά μαθαίνουν συμπληρώνοντας φύλλα εργασίας.

Τα παιδιά μαθαίνουν με να κάνουν πράξεις, να νιώθουν και να σκέφτονται. Στα σχολεία Waldorf, οι εκπαιδευτικοί μαθαίνουν τα παιδιά κάνοντας μαθήματα τα οποία απευθύνονται σε διαφορετικούς τύπους μάθησης. Κάθε ένα από τα μαθήματα περιέχει κίνηση, τέχνες και διεγείρει το νου.

Το μοναδικό χαρακτηριστικό του Waldorf βρίσκεται στη φιλοσοφία του η οποία προσαρμόζει το πρόγραμμα σπουδών στο στάδιο ανάπτυξης παιδιών σε διάφορες ηλικίες. Είναι γεγονός ότι τα παιδιά έχουν διαφορετικές ικανότητες για μάθηση σε διαφορετικές ηλικίες. Έτσι, διδάσκονται μαθήματα τα οποία τα παιδιά είναι σε θέση να καταλάβουν τη στιγμή που θα τα καταλάβουν  και που θα είναι έτοιμα να τα καταλάβουν. Το μάθημα γίνεται για το παιδί – όχι για το διαγώνισμα.

Ανάπτυξη κριτικής σκέψης

Όταν στέλνετε το παιδί σας σε ένα σχολείο Waldorf είναι επειδή εκτιμάτε μια εκπαίδευση που σέβεται την ανάπτυξη του παιδιού.

Όταν στέλνετε το παιδί σας σε ένα σχολείο Waldorf είναι επειδή θέλετε το παιδί σας να είναι ένα ευφάνταστο, ελεύθερο άτομο που σκέφτεται ανοιχτά σε νέες εμπειρίες και διαφορετικές απόψεις.

‘Όταν στέλνετε το παιδί σας σε ένα Waldorf σχολείο είναι επειδή εκτιμάτε μια εκπαίδευση που διδάσκει στο παιδί σας πώς να σκέφτεται – όχι τι να σκέφτεστε και τι  να μην σκέφτεστε όπως όλους τους άλλους.  ‘Όταν στέλνετε το παιδί σας σε ένα Waldorf σχολείο είναι επειδή εκτιμάτε την ελευθερία στην εκπαίδευση – τη μη συμμόρφωση με τα πρότυπα.

Για παράδειγμα, ένα παιδί μπορεί να νιώσει πίεση από τους συμμαθητές του για να πειράξει έναν άλλο συμμαθητή του. Αυτή είναι η ώρα για το παιδί να αποφασίσει να ακολουθήσει ή να μην ακολουθήσει τη συμπεριφορά. Μερικές φορές βάζουμε τα παιδιά να λάβουν μια γρήγορη απόφαση χωρίς να τους αφήσουμε χρόνο να σκεφτούν από μόνοι τους και να αποφασίσουν.

Στα Waldorf σχολεία αφήνουμε τα παιδιά να λάβουν αποφάσεις στο δικό τους χρόνο.  Έτσι είναι υπεύθυνα για τις αποφάσεις τους και έχουν το αίσθημα ευθύνης και ισότητας όταν μεγαλώσουν. Η κριτική σκέψη ενδυναμώνει τα παιδιά ούτως ώστε να μπορούν να αντιμετωπίσουν τις προκλήσεις στη ενήλική τους ζωή.

Περιορισμένη τεχνολογία

Έχετε σκεφτεί ποτέ ένα σχολείο χωρίς υπολογιστές; Το σχολείο Waldorf δεν χρησιμοποιεί υπολογιστές ή συσκευές στο δημοτικό σχολείο. Ο λόγος είναι ότι τα σχολεία Waldorf ενθαρρύνουν την επαφή με τους πραγματικούς ανθρώπους, το πραγματικό περιβάλλον  ούτως ώστε να δημιουργηθεί μια βάση πραγματικής εμπειρίας.  Έτσι, οι υπολογιστές χρησιμοποιούνται  στα Waldorf σχολεία όταν τα παιδιά βρίσκονται στο κατάλληλο αναπτυξιακό στάδιο.

Είναι κοινή πεποίθηση στα Waldorf σχολεία ότι τα παιδιά μαθαίνουν καλύτερα από την πραγματική εμπειρία παρά να περνούν την ώρα τους μπροστά από μια οθόνη υπολογιστή.

Τα παιδιά στο Waldorf μαθαίνουν παρακολουθώντας τις γάτες, μυρίζοντας τα λουλούδια, νιώθοντας τη βροχή, ακούγοντας μιας πάπια και παρακολουθώντας με υπομονή μία κότα που τρώει το φαγητό της. Αυτά τα πράγματα είναι ενδιαφέροντα και πιο περίπλοκα για ένα παιδί παρά ένας υπολογιστής.

Όταν ένα παιδί  κάθεται μπροστά σε έναν υπολογιστή αυτό μπορεί να γίνει μια κακή συνήθεια, εφόσον το παιδί δεν κινείται και δεν ενεργεί στον πραγματικό κόσμο. Επιπλέον, οι μαθητές Waldorf  δεν υποφέρουν από την έλλειψη υπολογιστή όταν μεγαλώσουν. Παρόλα αυτά, αναπτύσσουν σημαντικές δεξιότητες φαντασίας, σκέψης και θέλησης.

Εντούτοις μη νομίζετε ότι οι δάσκαλοι  Waldorf πιστεύουν ότι οι υπολογιστές και οι συσκευές είναι πάντα ακατάλληλες. Σε ένα Waldorf γυμνάσιο και λύκειο, θα δείτε μαθητές οι οποίοι φτιάχνουν τους δικούς τους υπολογιστές. Αυτός ο τρόπος συνάδει με τη φιλοσοφία Waldorf και είναι ο τρόπος που τα παιδιά αποκτούν γνώση για τους υπολογιστές και τη τεχνολογία.  Οι μαθητές αυτοί, κατακτούν γρήγορα την τεχνολογία των υπολογιστών και πολλές φορές έχουν μια επιτυχημένη καριέρα στη βιομηχανία των υπολογιστών.

“Γενικότερα η εκπαίδευση Waldorf αφήνει τα παιδιά να μάθουν στον δικό τους χρόνο, ανάλογα με το αναπτυξιακό στάδιο του κάθε παιδιού. Επίσης, αποκτούν γερές βάσεις κριτικής σκέψης και το καλύτερο μαθαίνουν μέσα από την εμπειρία στην πραγματική ζωή.”

Ελάτε να μας γνωρίσετε!

Quite the experience: Kidsperience Preschool in Limassol

By MiC Team 25/06/2018

Parents of pre-school kids…get ready! There’s a new nursery in Limassol town, and it’s refreshingly different! In our quest to bring you the latest, freshest and most relevant news, we met with the remarkable Katerina Sazou to find out what makes Kidsperience so special.

Herself a mother of two children under 5, Katerina holds the belief that within each child there is a natural curiosity and thirst for knowledge. The nursery’s mission: to awaken this curiosity and keep it alive by making the children love learning. The educators work diligently together and individually to accomplish this aim.

Under the ethos that ‘learning is not a chore but a gift; not an obligation but a choice’, the nursery’s progressive approach to learning focuses on providing each individual child with a holistic education that equips them with not just educational tools but also the wider range of skills needed to successfully participate as an active member of our community.

Welcoming children from 2 years old until 5 years old (from Nursery class until pre-reception), the school operates from Monday to Friday from 7.30am until 5.30pm.

 

 

The curriculum

While the standards of the British National Curriculum (Early Years Foundation Stage) are followed along with selected aspects of the Greek Cypriot Curriculum, Kidsperience places emphasis on encouraging the development of healthy habits. Teaching both the English and Greek languages and developing children’s academic skills, the educators also give them the means and resources to think independently and critically, and grow their social, emotional and physical skills through a wide range of hands on activities.

The learning support

The school works closely with a learning support team to ensure the Kidsperience kids’ needs are met. In addition to this support team, their on campus Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) observes the children regularly, providing any support that is required to ensure that all the children’s needs are appreciated and cared for.

The learning environment

Every detail of the Kidsperience environment is designed to stimulate the children’s curiosity and benefit their development in some way. Each classroom is designed to allow the children to explore, investigate, play and learn independently. Interconnecting classrooms allow for age-mixing and free flowing interaction between the classes; halls and outdoor play area are also used for the benefit of the children’s development and are viewed as an extension of the classrooms.

The facilities

Kidsperience has been in operation for the past couple of years in Agios Athanasios and the team is very excited about their new premises in the centre of Limassol. The newly renovated environment includes up-to-date educational equipment, from interactive whiteboards in every fully equipped classroom to natural sensory areas in the large outdoor playground. Katerina tells us that every inch of the school has been designed to assist the children through their exciting learning journey, and we particularly liked to hear that the safe and secure school facilities abide by safety laws set by the Welfare office and Fire Department.

The meals

Kidsperience’s well-rounded menus are prepared on-site in their newly renovated kitchen by caring staff members. The unique Kidsperience menu (given to you at enrolment) was designed by a qualified nutritionist in order to provide a balanced diet; the children are provided with two healthy snacks and one lunch meal during their day at school. How great is that?!

The staff

All dedicated staff members are screened before entering the school including formal police and medical checks. The enthusiastic educators are required to have the appropriate education, and all staff members are required to partake in yearly First Aid training.

The fees

Monthly fees vary according to the schedule you choose for your child. The fees are all-inclusive, covering everything from meals and snacks, to excursions, visiting educators and extra programs organised by the nursery… So, no hidden extra-fees each month, which is a huge relief!

What we also liked

Kidsperience Clubs – these are extra-curricular activities that complement the British National Curriculum held in the afternoon hours, offering a greater selection of activity. A range of clubs are offered each day and they change each term – fantastic for families where both parents work and afternoon childcare is a constant worry!

Workshops – each month workshops and events are planned, varying in topic and age range. These are open to parents, children enrolled at the school as well as to the public.

Seminars for Parents – Kidsperience offers education for the entire family, not just the children enrolled at the school – professional advice on different topics in an environment ideal for open discussions, on subjects ranging from child psychology to nutrition, first aid and more. Hosted by a professional, these seminars will enable parents to further develop their parenting skills.

To help you decide if Kidsperience is right for your child and your family, you may be interested in reading our guide on ‘How to choose a nursery’.

 

Kidsperience is now open for enrolments for September 2018! Go ahead and meet Katerina and visit the Kidsperience premises to find out more about their amazing new facilities; expanded educational team; classes and ethos! Book your appointment today:

Number Fun!

By Emma 11/07/2012

One of the presents Leo got for his birthday was a great little number puzzle, there are two parts to it, the first is very simple and Leo did it with no problems – numbers on one side and pictures on the other.

The second is simple maths, for example    3 + 2 = 5  and   9 – 3 = 6  The addition was not too bad but   he was a bit confused by the subtraction as he wanted to count up the pictures and then match the total number and he got quite annoyed when I tried to explain,  so in a fit of inspiration  (as he didn’t want to put it away either)   I opened a pack of dolly mixtures and showed him with the sweets…..

If you Mummy has 7 sweets and she eats 2, then how many are left?

He thought it was hilarious that I ate them and counted what was left, came up with the right answer and matched the puzzle piece.  I got him to do the next one and he ate the sweets this time,  laughing his head off all the while – and getting them all right!

Another new and great addition to our collection of books is a wipe clean ‘Ready for School’ book.  It’s got loads of great activities in it and although many are a bit too advanced for Leo (it does recommend from age 4 but he enjoys it so who cares!)  he loves the ones where you copy over things with the pen.
