What lovely way to end our school year! The children had their graduation ceremony that they shared with their parents. We wish all the children moving on, good luck and we are excited to have another great year with our returning children in September. Thank you to the families and children for being involved in our first year as an integrated school and we hope that you have made some lovely memories and relationships that you can cherish forever! 🎓

Over the past 6 weeks we have been implementing some fantastic outdoor teaching that the teachers observed in Malmö, Sweden! This helped our children learn some important rules to remember when they play in nature.

Recently we have been exploring real life tools within our play. This week the children have been using hammers and nails to work on their hand and eye coordination. What a great way to work on their fine motor skills! 🔨

The grey skies haven’t stopped us having fun! Last week the children made connections with outdoors by taking full advantage of their splash suits and wellington boots to keep them dry. The thunderstorms and rain were a great learning experience for the children! They splashed in puddles and listened to the sounds of nature! ☔️⛈️
