For Every Child I Wish.....
.....A Good Nights Sleep
Every child deserves a, comfortable bed, snuggled in cosy, with a teddy to cuddle and a bedtime story to spark their imagination. These simple comforts create a nurturing environment that fosters learning and growth. When children feel safe and loved, they are better equipped to explore the world around them and thrive in their development.
.....A Full Belly
A good breakfast is essential for every child's day, setting the stage for learning and growth. No child should face the challenges of hunger or thirst, as these basic needs are crucial for their well-being. Ensuring that every child goes to bed with a full belly is vital for their health and development. Let's prioritise nutritious meals to support our children's futures.
.....Clothing
Every child deserves to have the essentials they need to stay comfortable throughout the year. In winter, cosy coats and sturdy wellies are essential to keep them warm and dry. During the summer, breathable fabrics and well-fitting shoes ensuring they can play freely without worry. Let's make sure every child has what they need to thrive in every season!
.....School essentials
Every child deserves the right tools to thrive in their learning environment. When students have access to essential items like uniforms, backpacks, lunch boxes, and stationery, they feel a sense of belonging among their peers. This sense of community fosters confidence and encourages engagement in the classroom. Let's ensure that every child is equipped for success, both socially and academically.
Maslow before bloom
Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a psychological theory that explains that the basic, survival needs of breathing, food, water, shelter, clothing and sleep have to be satisfied before an individual can accomplish higher needs. Higher needs include safety and security, love and belonging and self esteem. Therefore, basic needs need to be met before a child can learn and grow.
Maslow before Bloom is a phrase used throughout education. Benjamin Bloom created a taxonomy of educational objectives that shows the different thinking and learning aims that a child should achieve in order. The order of objectives are remember, understand, apply, analyse, evaluate and create. By achieving these in order it allows a child to be able to process information. None of these steps in a child's learning can occur if the child hasn't had their basic needs fulfilled.
