First Steps Private School

🌟 Career Day 2026 🌟

What an exciting and inspiring day! Our children proudly dressed up as the professionals they dream of becoming one day. From doctors and teachers to engineers and many other careers, each child had a unique story to tell about their future aspirations.

It was wonderful to see their confidence, creativity, and enthusiasm as they shared their dreams with us. We are so proud of every child for participating and reminding us that the future is filled with endless possibilities.

✨ Dream big, work hard, and believe in yourself – today's dreams can become tomorrow's reality! ✨

Happy Birthday, Yanga and Fatso! We hope you have a wonderful day celebrating with your friends. 💙💛🎂🎈

☀️📚 Grade R Sunshine Learning ☀️📚

No desks, no worksheets — just chalk, bricks, sunshine, and joyful learning in a big circle of focus!

Today our Grade R learners explored the “e” family words through play: *hen, net, pet, let,* and *yet* 🐔🕸️🐾
Saying them, sounding them out, and learning together through fun and movement ❤️

We also embraced our Holiday Theme with creativity, colour, and happy smiles ⛵☀️

And our little artists took on the universe — proudly creating their very own solar systems! 🌍🪐✨ Small hands, big imagination!

Art, smiles, and sunshine — Grade R doing what they do best! 💛

Cupcake Sale & Financial Literacy Fun!

Our learners recently enjoyed a cupcake sale using FinLit play money! This exciting hands-on activity helped children develop important financial literacy skills while having fun.

Through buying and selling cupcakes, learners practiced:
✅ Recognising coins and notes
✅ Counting money accurately
✅ Understanding the value of money
✅ Making simple calculations and giving change
✅ Developing communication and problem-solving skills
✅ Learning real-life concepts of buying and selling

Activities like these help children build confidence with money from an early age and make learning meaningful through play.
