This week, we celebrated Father’s Day with lots of love and creativity!









The children worked on two special activities:

• A Father’s Day card

• A Super Dad bookmark


We also began practicing for Sports Day—and let’s just say, getting everyone to follow instructions was a workout in itself! 😂

• Practiced counting from 1 to 10
