🌼 Mini Tots Pop Up Class - In the Afternoon Garden 🌿

On Friday, April 10th, our Mini Tots enjoyed a fun and engaging Pop Up (Free Trial) Class with the theme “In the Afternoon Garden.”

Through hands-on activities, the children explored sensory play by:
🪏 Digging and playing
🌻 Creating their own flower arrangements

They also developed their gross motor skills through 🪴💧watering the plants, and their fine motor skills through 🌼 🔨petal art activities

A dun and engaging afternoon filled with exploration, creativity, and learning through play!

Interested to join our next Pop Up Class? We’d love to welcome you and your little one! Stay tune ✨

- Introduction to Positive Discipline at SMS

On the same day, our Primary and High School teachers also took part in a Professional Development session with Ms. Desi, our Early Years Principal and a Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator.

What is Positive Discipline?
Positive Discipline is an approach that teaches children to become responsible, respectful, and independent through guidance, encouragement, and clear boundaries rather than punishment. It focuses on understanding the reason behind behaviour and teaching life skills for the future.

During the session, teachers explored:
• Different parenting approaches and their impact on children
• The difference between telling and asking to build responsibility
• Common discipline methods used today
• Understanding the belief behind children’s behaviour
• The 5 criteria of Positive Discipline

At SMS, we believe that a positive school environment helps children feel safe, respected, and ready to learn. Because education is not only about academics, but also about building strong character.

Every year, many students around the world choose to participate in academic competitions such as spelling bees, Maths Olympiads and writing. Much like any extracurricular activity such as sports or music, taking part in competitions can take time, money and effort - so is it worth it?
Here are 7 benefits of academic competitions for students.
