Family and Friends

Lower Pre-Primary had lots of fun learning about ‘Family and Friends. We have been talking about the pattern of our day and made zigzag books in which we recorded four activities that we do every morning. We went outside to collect leaves, sticks and acorns and together we made a beautiful natural pattern. We sang a song about activities that we do every day such as eating breakfast, brushing our teeth, taking a bath and getting dressed. The children were excited to give a real bath to our baby dolls! They washed them with soap and water and dried them up with a towel. They even read them a story before putting them to sleep.  

We learned about the differences between small and tall by sorting photos and objects into their groups. We also measured the children in LPP and saw who is the smallest and the tallest child in class. We read a book about different types of families and talked about how our school is also like a family with new friends and people who help and care about us. It inspired us to make beautiful cards to our friends at ISG. It was great fun visiting our friends and giving them the little present we made. We have been looking at animal families and the names of their babies. The children enjoyed matching pictures of the animal mothers with their babies.

To end our unit, we had a lovely exit point. The children made yummy snacks and decorated invitations for Mum and Dad to meet our ‘class family’.

This month, we celebrated Marco’s third birthday. Marco was very excited to share his beautiful and delicious birthday cake with his friends. Thank you, sweet Marco, we wish you all the best!

Our last week was all about Halloween. We have made friendly ghosts out of autumn leaves, painted pumpkins and made handprint spiders. We sang songs and read stories for Halloween and ended the week with a wonderful ‘Halloween Party’.

Have a lovely holiday everyone. Enjoy time spent with family and friends and we will see you all in November.
