Primary 4

September 2025

This month, we joyfully welcomed each child to the beginning of a new school year! We focused on building a strong sense of community from the start, celebrating each child’s uniqueness through discussions about family and culture. As part of this, the children designed and shared their very own family trees and portraits. It was a wonderful opportunity for everyone to learn more about one another and begin forming meaningful classroom connections.



Throughout the month, we introduced a variety of classroom materials and routines. The children practiced how to set up and roll up a mat and learned valuable skills such as respecting materials, caring for their environment, and cleaning up after themselves. These early lessons helped foster independence, responsibility, and confidence in their ability to navigate the classroom on their own. It was inspiring to watch how quickly the children adapted and how eager they were to explore new materials and revisit activities they had already mastered.


We also introduced the scientific concept of the life cycle, focusing specifically on the transformation of tadpoles into frogs. Through hands-on activities, songs, and stories, the children deepened their understanding of how living things grow and change. A favorite activity was singing and dancing to “Five Little Speckled Frogs,” which helped reinforce learning through movement and music. The children also created beautiful frog paintings, allowing them to express what they had learned through art.


Overall, it has been a joyful and productive start to the year, filled with discovery, creativity, and connection. We are so proud of the way the children have embraced this new beginning, and we look forward to all the learning and growth still to come!

Summer 2025

This summer was truly unforgettable! The children enjoyed a wide variety of fun activities, from refreshing water days and foam parties to cool Popsicle Fridays that brought endless smiles. Our in-school field trips were equally exciting, giving the children the chance to meet Dana the Magician, Atomic Amy the Mad Scientist, and the incredible Radical Reptiles team. They explored, learned, and laughed every step of the way, making memories that will last a lifetime.


We also explored imaginative themes, from castles and dragons to planets and ocean life, sparking curiosity and creativity in every child. Hands-on activities, arts and crafts, and storytelling moments allowed the children to express themselves and discover new passions.



As the summer came to a close, we said goodbye to friends moving on to new educational adventures, while warmly welcoming new faces—making the end of summer both joyful and bittersweet. We are filled with gratitude for all the wonderful experiences shared and excitement as we look forward to a new school year ahead. We can’t wait to embark on another year of learning, laughter, and unforgettable adventures together!
