Today in circle time, our seniors talked about invisible backpacks – the hidden stuff we all carry around that can change our moods, behavior, and how we see the world.
An invisible backpack is like a secret bag inside us filled with thoughts, feelings, worries, or experiences that we can't see but that weigh us down or lift us up. Things like stress from school, worries about friends, proud moments, or sad memories can all be packed in there.
When our backpack is heavy with tough stuff, we might feel grumpy, tired, or unsure. But when we put good things in it – like kindness, support from family, or fun memories – the backpack feels lighter and we feel happier and more confident.
The seniors reminded us to be kind to everyone because we never know what’s in their invisible backpack. By being compassionate, we can help lighten someone else’s load and maybe even make our own backpack feel easier to carry.
Let's think about what’s in our invisible backpack and draw or write those things inside the backpack picture. It helps us to understand ourself better and be nicer to others!

Happy Mother's Day, Ammi!

I'm sorry for being forgetful and needing reminders for everything! Thank you for being my memory, my reminder, and my guide. I appreciate you helping me with everything.

Today, we're talking about something that's super important for us teachers out there: commitment! Teaching isn't just about teaching in the classroom during school hours – it's a whole process that requires prep work and follow-up beyond the school timings. Teaching is a commitment that requires effort before, during and after the lesson. But it's worth it, because we get to make a difference in our students' lives! "

Our juniors faced a delicious dilemma! We offered them a choice of three yummy spreads - honey, jam, and chocolate - to pair with their Marie biscuits. The task was simple: make two biscuits using any of the spreads, same or different.

It wasn't easy, though! Many needed support and encouragement to make their own decision. But with patience and practice, they learned to choose and create their perfect snack combo.

Today our seniors used their creativity to encourage themselves to eat healthy! 🥗

Using their wonderful culinary skills, they prepared colourful, refreshing salads filled with fresh summer ingredients. This activity was more than just making a recipe — it was a fun way to encourage *healthy eating habits during the hot summer months*.

From chopping crisp vegetables to mixing vibrant flavours, the students learned that eating healthy can be both *delicious and enjoyable*. 🌿🍅🥒

A perfect blend of learning, teamwork, and nutrition — proving that the best recipes are the ones that nourish both the body and the mind!
