We have a lot to be thankful for this month! After the summer break, it was great to be back in the classroom with our friends, learning and playing together. Thanks to our incredible team of teachers, the children have spent the past month getting to know one another and settling into a routine of free-play, circle and story time, as well as daily art activities. As parents, we delight in the stories of their day and all that they are learning. We have two overarching themes in the Preschool...

April was an extremely fun time in preschool…We had ducks!! The children (and adults) were so excited when the duck eggs arrived, and we patiently waited every day for them to hatch!! A few days later the excitement levels were through the roof!! The eggs started to crack and just like that we had ducklings!! Each class got to name their class duck and watch how they grew and changed over the weeks. We even taught them to swim!! The ducks are now happily back at the farm enjoying a more...

After Spring Break, we were all ready to get back to Preschool and see our friends! March was a busy month as we continued to work on our Construction theme. We all had so much fun, looking at famous structures around the world including ‘The Great Wall of China’ and the ‘Ancient Pyramids’. When learning about bridges, we used stories like the ‘Three Billy Goats Gruff’ for inspiration to build bridges that the goats could walk across safely. We looked at skyscrapers in different...

Another busy but fun month at Preschool! We continued with our Construction topic, and we celebrated friendships with Valentines Day.

In the Construction topic the children built their own class city, complete with roads, houses, and road signs. We learned about famous structures around the world, including ‘The Great Wall of China’ and the...

It’s hard to believe that November is over, and December is already here! We all had so much fun this past month learning about Space.

October was a busy month! We used a...

What a marvellous month May was! From Soccer on the field to chicks in the classroom the month flew by! The secret garden has continued to be a hive of activity! With the new additions of a play house and sink the children continue to have lots of fun. It always amazes the teachers how many different ways the children can use one piece of equipment. The playhouse has been a shop, school, house, garage, hotel and secret den to name a few! Children’s imaginations really are the most amazing...
