Family and Friends

Over the last few weeks, lower pre-primary pupils have been busy learning more about family and friends.

We learnt about tall and small by looking at photos and sorting them into groups. Following this, the children looked at their own family photos and decided who is the tallest and the smallest in their family. We also discussed daily routines in our families and played a mime game. Each child chose one action and showed it to the others without talking (eating breakfast/ getting dressed/ going to school etc). The children had a great time trying to guess!

Over the last couple of weeks we have also read all kinds of stories about families. Some of our favourites were - “Spot visits his grandparents”, “The Family book” and ”I love you through and through”.

Last week we had a lovely ‘Exit Point’. The children were so happy to make vanilla muffins for their parents. For some of them it was their first experience being little chefs!

All children helped to set a nice table for the parents. We counted plates, napkins and cups and decorated our table with some autumn leaves that we collected together in the playground.

I would like to thank all the parents that came to celebrate with us it was so nice to sing together, listen to stories (thanks to Lital’s dad and to Loic’s mum!) and to eat the yummy muffins.

Our first personal goal for the year is ‘respect’. The children enjoyed watching a puppet show to try and understand what respect means. We decided that it is very important to show respect to people, toys, books and animals. We try to encourage respect all the time in Lower Pre-Primary!

Over the last week we had fun getting ready for our Halloween party. We sang songs, read stories and made friendly spiders for Halloween. We celebrated with lots of music and dancing, delicious food and a nice movie for Halloween (‘Room on the broom’).

I wish you all a great Autumn holiday. Enjoy your family and friends and I look forward to seeing you all after the break.
