What's it all about?

"The beautiful thing about learning is that
no-one can take it away from you"
B.B King
I am a Year 3 Student at Manukau Institute of Teachnology studying the 'Early Childhood Teaching' degree.  This semester, one of my subjects is called 'People, Places, Things and Events' which looks at fostering children's interest, enthusiasm, and learning in social sciences and technology in early childhood settings.

My first assignment is to create a blog to evaluate the significance of people, places, things and events on children's learning and development.  I will be posting 5 Reflective Blogs evaluating children's learning and will also make contributions to 5 other students blogs and at least 2 contributions to the course blog.

I hope you will enjoy my posts!
