Dear Parents,

This week’s theme was All About Me!


The children had fun creating their own portraits and shared who is in their family, even making a fun finger family hand drawing. They also filled out "All About Me" profiles, sharing their favorite things. It was a wonderful way for everyone to learn more about each other!

Vocabulary Focus

This week, we introduced the following words:

Boy, girl, colours, animals, nursery, mum, dad, brother, sister, family, sycamore, hazel, grass.

Group Time Highlights

• Sang nursery rhymes

• Recognising colours 

Montessori Activity


This week, the children practiced cutting paper with scissors to help develop their fine motor skills. It was a fun activity that allowed them to build hand-eye coordination and strengthen their hand muscles.

A Quick Look at Our Week:

Monday

For Italian, we learnt Buongiorno song, the Italian version of “if you happy and you know” (se sei felice e tu lo sai). 

Tuesday


For cooking we made the Italian chocolate called”bacio di dama”. We crushed the digestive biscuits, stirred in some butter and rolled it into a ball and covered it with cocoa powder.





Wednesday


We started our brand new leaf profile book. They collected leaves and learnt their names, which were sycamore, hazel and grass.

Thursday

We had computer science, as our introduction lesson, we named the devices that are used, like laptop, printer, tablet.

Friday (Drama)

We copied and practised different expressions like smiling, crying, thinking and upset. We song songs and practice Italian song.

Reminders & Important Dates

Wishing you all a lovely and restful weekend!

Warm regards,
