Last week we were blessed with a wonderful morning of snow! Children really enjoyed making snowmen and collecting up the biggest pile of snow. 
We talked about where snow comes from and how some countries get snow and others don't as often. Children discussed some of the conditions needed for…

Last Monday, middle school unfortunately had to cancel their 'rainforest day'. To assure that we still had a morning of fun, we decided to create some Christmas crafts to help decorate the classroom instead.
Children all sat on one big table to colour, cut and create. We made a huge paper chain…

We are getting very excited in Lower School now that it is December and we are counting down the days until Christmas Day! Our kindness elves Eric and Ernie are back again this year watching and spotting children being kind to one another. As an extra surprise this year we have been so lucky to…

The weather took a turn for the frosty and cold this week, however this didn't put middle school off playing and exploring nature during their playtime. The children were fascinated by how the frost had covered everything! They carefully looked at ice crystals on leaves and grass and noticed how…

The children got creative in their history lesson this week and created their own jewellery inspired by the Indus Valley Civilisation. 
We began the lesson by looking at some of the archaeological findings from the area. We considered what materials they had available and how they might have gone…

Today we got designing and creating our mood boards for our treasure boxes/memory boxes. We had to think about what shape of box we wanted, the decoration on the outside and what the net for the 3D shape would look like. We looked for inspiration using the Swiggle search engine, looked again at…

We are busy making our brains bigger with lots of number learning in Lower School as usual this week by finding the difference, comparing numbers, adding three digits and money.
