Mead

Hello Mead families and friends,

We would like to welcome all children and families to the Mead room. We hope that you have all enjoyed your breaks and are as excited as we are for the year ahead.

This week has been full of excitement and curiosity as the children explored and discovered their new environment. The children have continued building on existing relationships with their peers as well as forming new positive bonds with some new faces; ensuring that we all feel safe, secure and supported.

The environments within the Mead room are set up to ensure that children are given the opportunity to further their learning development with an array of experiences to choose from.

On Tuesday and Thursday we met our new Chinese teacher - Wenting; we sang ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’ in Chinese and learnt about Chinese New Year which we will be celebrating next Monday 8th with a Lion Dance organised by our International students from the Senior school.   

On Friday, we ventured to the Prep School gym to have our first P.E class with Mr Barton. The children demonstrated such joy and enthusiasm while furthering their co-ordination and movement skills.

We have had the gardeners in our outside yard using diggers, laying down new grass lawn and putting in plants; there has been such fascination and exploration from the children. The children have been mimicking the gardeners digging, using shovels and making big holes.

We hope you have a lovely weekend!


Mrs Prest and Miss Elodie
