WE LEARN THROUGH PLAY !

According to the UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD, Article 31, ‘Every child has the right to relax, PLAY and join in a wide range of cultural and artistic activities’
As children, play helps us to

	Gives us the opportunity to mix with other children and build relationships.

	Enables us to resolve our conflicts and live at peace with each other.
	Provides opportunities for us to develop our social skills and learning.
