Dear Families,
We hope you are well and as happy as we are seeing so many children back to our service.
For the last 2 weeks we had a lot of fun and experience, letting our new Preps get acquainted with the environment and to get used to our school and GOSH.
The first two themes were “Back to school” and “Origami week”.
During the “Back to school” week we enjoyed playing group games outside so the new students could get introduced to each other and involved into the atmosphere of learning and fun.
On Monday we made 3D models of our friends and had outdoor free play.
Tuesday surprised children with a summer collage and craft for the display. Jai, Maya, and Jessica have made plenty of collages.
The rest of the kids enjoyed playing “Fruit salad” outside.
We made plenty of rings and other “jewellery” on Wednesday: Priya, Sofia, Maya, Darcie, Robyn, Cherry, Lara, Charlotte, Dimitra, Jessica, Amelie, and even Jai have made minimum 3 sets each! It was the biggest Art and Craft event since 2019!!!
At the same time outside, we had Ninja Run course with Ryger which Jacob, Ishaan, Elijah, and Marco helped to organise.
Just before the end of the day we had an UNO tournament between Charlotte, Robyn, Jessica, and Ryger.
On Thursday Oliver created a huge Puzzle treasure hunt involving all the children. They were solving different puzzles and running all around the school to get access to the main “castle”. Sofia, Max, Lehara, Zoe, Sarah, and Charlotte were helping Oliver to set up this huge activity.
The “Origami week” began interesting as well:
On Monday Haell, Natasha, Henry, Ellie, Hazel, and Darcey were making Origami Foxes with me. They loved it a lot.
Ryger was running, with the help of Jacob, different group games, of course Fruit Salad was the one on demand!
Tuesday brought us origami bunnies, and huge outdoor Everybody’s in game. Oliver was creating group games he will run every Thursday, starting from this week. Anthony, Maya, Lily, and Sebastian made very cute bunnies we took pictures of.
On Wednesday Maya, Isabella, Anthony, Dimitra, and Will made very cute mice’ family during art & craft session.
Outside Jacob was helping Ryger to run group games and he was leading them too.
Oliver created outstanding group game on Thursday named ‘giant treasure Hunt’, 30 children took part in it. The remained 6 were making origami with Letitia and me. Dimitra shared with us her colourful origami paper. Girls and Henry made beautiful hearts and butterflies!
Friday brought us big outdoor play, while inside we have made Ninja Stars. It was big fun, and almost all children made at least 1 star! Great way to finish the week!
Be safe, happy, and healthy!
