Daily Activities
Each term is divided into weekly topics so that your child acquires the concept of learning in
an enjoyable way. Our activities cover painting on an easel, sponges, stencils, gluing pictures,
using different textures, using different shapes, model making, using imagination to create
models, colouring, drawing and forming letters, numbers and shapes.
An important area we cover is music, songs, rhymes and instruments. Children are encouraged to
participate in musical activities with the aid of live instruments and the weekly visit of a pianist.
On Fridays, the children enjoy participating in cooking activities. Baking biscuits and scones have proved to be very popular.
We also have a book corner to encourage looking at and listening to books and stories.
