The fourth started with different atmosphere at the kindergarten. The fourth week was the winter holiday, this made most of the kids absent from kindergarten. Luckily for me, the kids aged 3-5 were all merged in one place. There was nothing much to do in this week in winter break holiday as my focus was child’s play and activities.

The teachers from the other groups Introduced me to the children, I started to familiarise myself with kids from other groups as we were new to each other.  At the beginning of this week, the children were taken to the forest to play and explore nature, Safety precautions were taken, such as putting on safety reflective vests for all the children, the children holding hands while walking to the forest, a teacher guiding them in front, a teacher in the back, and I was standing at the back with a teacher to guide the kids . A straight line was maintained on the pedestrian path so that people and bicycles could travel freely.

After spending few weeks in the kindergarten, some of the kids have shown some Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in them, although they have not been diagnosed by a medical doctor yet, but I understood these symptoms with my theoretical knowledge. I tried to help these kids with child play and activities such as Playing with a small ball or an item every time when he sits down which can help him engaged, calm, and focus his attention on the ball or item in his hand. Similarly, informing him ahead of time about what is going to happen by using an application on the Paivakoti phone called mouse timer, this application helps with time management and get the kids ready ahead of the next activities or play.

Every play and activities done in this week were done to help the children’s mental health, and put their social well being at the optimal level.
