The Toddlers have been learning all about stories this term.
We have been exploring the story ‘Polar Bear, Polar Bear, what do you hear?’ We have been learning about some of the animals featured in the story such as snakes, elephants and lions. Read on to see how the Toddlers explored the story using fruit.
This year grade 2 have been looking at a range of different artists, this week we have been painting pictures in the style of Claude Monet. The children looked at a selection of paintings by Monet and we chose the ‘Lily pond at Giverny’ to practice our painting skills.
The Jr. K’s are enjoying their love of books by sharing their favorite stories with one another during circle time. As a class, we are looking at storybooks individually and retelling the story with puppets and arts and crafts activities. Along with sharing with you the latest language and literacy activities in our classroom, it is also important to share research in early childhood development on this subject.
Read on to learn more about language, literacy and active play in the classroom and to see more photos.

This past couple of weeks in ICT, the Grade 3s have been learning to develop images in the graphics program, Adobe Photoshop. We have looked at some examples of Pop Art by the artist Andy Warhol. These have inspired us to create our own work, using an image of the Egyptian Pharaoh, King Tut. In Art, we have also been making King Tut block prints and in Literacy have written instructions on how to make them. We have also been improving our dictionary skills, and we used these to help us to find interesting vocabulary to help us create an Egyptian alliteration poem.
We have been busy! Read on to see more of our ‘Pop Art’, to read our poem and to learn how to do block printing…
In our Music lesson in Grade 1 this week we started exploring pulse and rhythm. We learnt a fun new song called ‘Okki-tokki-unga’. The children thoroughly enjoy this song and keep asking to sing it again and again!
Here are the words to the song and some more photos…
