Ice-cream at School

How lucky are we? As part of the Erasmus celebrations an ice-cream van came right into the school yard. We could hardly believe our eyes.

Look how we can make patterns

Learning about pattern helps us to develop logical thinking. This will help us in many subjects, including Maths.

Check out our favourite books this term!

We were also very excited to see the library van roll into the Eglish school yard. We filed on, up the steps, through the sliding door, into a vehicle filled with books. WOW!

Samba Drumming

We are busy learning to create rhythms with Samba Drums which are on loan to the school. We love making noise. The teachers love it too (Sort of!)

Spring is here!

We have been enjoying watching the chicks in the Senior Room hatch and grow.

We love puzzles.

Look at all we are learning when we make a puzzle

Physical skills -- from holding puzzle pieces and turning them until they fit
Cognitive skills -- as they solve the problems of a puzzle
Emotional skills -- they learn patience and are rewarded when they complete the puzzle

.Doing a puzzle with a friend or family member also allows for the growth of social skills as they work together and communicate about what fits where. (Teach.com)

Make a puzzle, watch your child grow!
