Montessori on the Park

Please join us in sending special congratulations to Miss Andrea for completing her Level 3 Forest school qualification! We can't wait to get our hands muddy, build some dens and enjoy nature again in Spring.

We have been enjoying the snow this week! Building a snowman and having a snow ball fight was a great fun. We also practiced making snow angels!

Children really enjoyed Christmas Jumper Day!
They liked to show their festive jumpers to their friends.
Thank you for your generous donations!

Today we have been learning about Remembrance Day. Children made some Poppies and took the biggest one to the memorial in Victoria Park.
Preschoolers met park rangers there who told them some interesting facts about the park.

Happy Halloween!
Children had a fun day in their fancy costumes. Lots of different characters from dinasours, bats, superheroes to witches and mermaids joined us today. They all joined in in food preparation for our afternoon party.

Preschool got really creative making their nature inspired clay faces. They gathered natural resources from the park and transformed them into incredible creations. They were not all spooky or scary but they all provided great sensory and creative stimulation. Children talked about different emotions and they tried to guess what emotions each face represented.

"It takes a big heart to help shape little minds"
Please join us in sending our warmest wishes to our wonderful teachers on their special day!
Happy Teachers Day!

French lessons with Miss Fayrouz are the best! Children enjoyed an interactive story session about the the very hungry caterpillar all in French! They learnt to say fruit names and colours in French and also sang the butterfly song!

Development of early literacy skills and love for reading starts early. Our babies love reading books by themselves as well as listening to stories read to them. Story time is part of our daily routine in all classrooms but children often request their favourite books to be read during the day.
See the link below for some ideas on how to support your babies literacy development.

And enjoy reading books together!
