Happy days in Lower Pre-Primary :)

During the last few weeks we have been very busy with our treasure unit as well as with summer and end-of-year activities.

Two lovely friends have joined our class, Yago from Spain and Victoria from Chile.

We have continued to explore the world of pirates! We have read pirate stories, sung pirate songs and played pirate games. The children were all very excited to bring a treasure from home. We all sat on our pirate ship together and told our friends about our special treasure. We then had lots of fun using recycled boxes to create our own treasure chest, which we then filled with shiny golden coins that we made out of clay.

We also learnt about tropical islands. We looked atphotos of tropical fruit, animals and tropical weather. The kids had so much fun creating their own tropical islands and the results were beautiful! To end our unit we tasted lots of different kinds of tasty tropical fruit for our Exit Point. The kids cut all the fruit themselves and then we had a fantastic picnic outside in our ‘little garden’.

We also celebrated 4 birthdays! Congratulations to Yago who turned 3, and Augusto, Wassim and Misha who turned 4. Happy birthday boys, we wish you all the best and we want to thank you for the lovely cakes.

Our fun end of year trip was to the ‘kids adventure’ playground and we all enjoyed it a lot. The same week we also had our end-of-year show. The children did such a good job, well done everyone!

Last of all we learnt about our personal goal, ‘adaptability’, and after watching a puppet show we had a nice discussion about situations in life that require adaptability. We talked about moving to a new country, a new house and a new school and we all agreed that it takes some time to adjust. Talking about our new school led us to create a great and colorful work of art, which we will hang in our new school.

The last day of school was quite emotional; after laughing and playing together with balloons and soap bubbles we had our last school assembly and said goodbye to Ali, Augusto, Victoria and Harrison. We are all going to miss them and we wish them lots of good luck in their new school.

I want to thank you all for a wonderful year. Have a great summer, and see you in September!
