I observed

some children were able to do things on their own, some needed help to fix the slide “getting the skin face right for sliding” or just a pushed the needed. (Depending on age stage) Smaller one was just watching with guidance.

Children are involved in this activity, they observe how they are going to use the sealskin, which side they can use to slide and which part where they have to tug on the sealskin, and work together then slide. They interact with their teacher and the person they will slide with and other children who will slide next after them. They communicate with everyone around them to make sure all children are safe and taking turns in sliding. Everyone in the video is having fun and laughing and engaging in the fun activity -Jean

Video of sliding

The children involved were absorbed in the seal skin sled and interacting with the educators sliding and having fun with everyone. I can tell how they all enjoyed with laughter and excitement. All the educators telling and showing them how to hold on to the seal skin and if they were two children on the sled they told the other child to hold on to the one in the front.

What areas of development do you see showcased in this activity?

2025-10-06 15:38:47 UTC

Areas of development I see showcased in this activity are:

Language development; Understanding what is being said by the instructors. Telling the child how to sit on the seal skin, how to slide with the seal skin and how to probably slide.

. Emotional Development: Making friends, waiting there turn to slide. Being patient to slide.

Physical Development: In this showcase I observed that the child can walk.

Language Development: In this showcase I can see the child can understand what is being said in Inuktitut.

Social Development: In this showcase I saw the child smiling, and and showing they know.

Engaged and secure

-kids and teachers are engaged, teaching them how they used sealskins as sled not only as a sled they are cleaning it as they slide.

- secure? They let the younger kid slide with an older kid as they are abit too young to slide alone.

-to be on a safe side, don’t walk up on where kids are sliding, climb up on the side where no one is sliding.

-keep your hands on the slide to be safe.there is a wrong way to use the sealskin, the fur has to be upwards to slide better and faster.

-they are all safe and enjoying the beautiful outing day,
