Wishes and Celebrations!
25th - 29th May
Make-a-wish
On Friday we were very privileged to have a visit from Jabal and his family.
Jabal's condition has caused him to lose his sight but with help from Mum and Dad, teachers and enthusiastic PK students he played in the playground and at a sensory table set up with yellow playdough (his favourite colour). We also had sweet treats available for the children to share.
Thanks to PK Parents generosity, we were able to fulfill Jabal's wish his own garden playground, where he would be able to play safely. It would be ready for him when they returned home. We were also able to present two baskets filled with sensory toys to enjoy when he was unable to play outside.
THANK YOU!! WE COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT ALL YOUR GENEROSITY AND SUPPORT!!

Butterfly lifecycle
In art.......
........we have been working on symmetry with our own butterfly wings. Symmetry is defined as something that has two sides or halves that are the same or very close in size, shape, and position. Butterflies are the perfect example of this.
We also played with colour blending using coffee filter papers and a water spray for our creations. This is a great activity to work on those fine motor skills and extend concentration.
So how does a PROBOSCIS work?
In the garden......
.....the children spent time with Ms Ingrid completing their own garden journals. It has been shown that students who practice what they’re learning in a hands-on environment can often retain three and half times as much as opposed to just sitting in a classroom and listening . We are very lucky to have access to such a beautiful garden and the children have thoroughly enjoyed and embraced all their garden lessons.
"I hear and I forget,
I see and I remember,
I do and I understand."
And in other centres.....
