It was such a treat having the fathers at school for our Father’s Day celebration 🥳

What made the day so special was seeing our Dads really relaxing, engaging and having fun with their kiddies! 🥺

Wishing all our dads a wonderful Father’s Day weekend! 💚🏡

This month’s theme was Blast from the Past 🎉 and the Squirrels class wrapped up the month in the most iconic way — an 80s dance party! 🕺🪩
The kids absolutely delivered and honestly so did the teachers.
What a way to end the term! 🤩💚

This month’s parenting article is on providing reasoning with feedback.

When you make the decision not to be mean to someone as an adult, that doesn’t typically come from worrying about repercussions. It comes from an internal compass built over time - through experience, interactions, and the way you were disciplined.

In Andy’s previous article, she spoke about the direction you want that compass to point. In this article, she writes about taking one step to build it.

We had a very special Friday afternoon, welcoming all the incredible moms into our school to celebrate Mother’s Day! 🥹🤍

The big proud smiles when the little ones spotted their moms coming to play? Absolutely priceless. These are the moments that remind us just how lucky we are to be part of such a warm and loving community. 🥰

To all our amazing and strong moms, we hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day and managed to get treated by your little ones, even in the rain! 🌸❤️🙏

A sneak peek into our maths adventures this week 😁

We explored South African money by learning about the difference between notes and coins, discovered the concept of heavy vs light and had so much fun strengthening our patterning skills using pegboards. 🤑⚖️

The Caracals were having a big laugh during our “same and different” lesson. We ended off by seeing how many frogs could fit into the pond while practicing 1-to-1 correspondence and learning about “more vs less” 🐸💚

This month, Andy started a series of articles on discipline; a topic that’s often contentious but shapes so much about how we interact with our children.

The first piece focuses on framing: a way to think about discipline before getting into the how.

World Book Day 2026! 🤩📚

We all loved the magic 🪄✨

Our Hedgehogs are in such a special stage of growth!🦔🤍

Every day is filled with new discoveries, and we love seeing their first little and then bigger movements and the CUTEST smiles and laughs. In their own safe and nurturing spaces, they have a blast exploring the world around them.

We love being part of these early moments! 🥹🏡

We pulled out all the stops for the holidays and the kids absolutely delivered on the excitement! 😅

Bringing out the jumping castle and balloons was just the beginning of it! Safe to say the holidays have been a success and we are already looking forward to the next one! 🎈🏡
