Pre-Primary 7

October 2025

October was a spooktacular month!


Our students had so much fun learning about the changes that come with Fall and the special celebrations that happen during this festive season. To explore the beauty of autumn, we went on a leaf hunt around the playground, searching for both dry and freshly fallen leaves. Our book of the month, Going on a Leaf Hunt by Steve Metzger, tied in perfectly with our outdoor adventure!


This month, students continued practicing their alphabet skills, focusing on the letters D–F. Through interactive phonics songs, art projects, and daily morning reviews, they learned to connect each letter with familiar objects in their world.


We also explored our solar system, discovering which planet we live on and how it compares to the others. In geography, we learned about the continent of North America and some of its famous landmarks.


Our young artists let their creativity shine by making Picasso-inspired pumpkin art, designing imaginative pumpkin faces with eyes, noses, and mouths placed in fun, unexpected ways. We also created festive “Boo!” artwork to celebrate Halloween!

September 2025

As we kicked off the new academic year, students settled into a daily routine that helped them learn the classroom’s foundations and structure.


During circle time, we explored the question, “What do we do at school?” Together, we practiced how to pick up our work and clean up after ourselves. As part of our practical life activities, students learned to use a dustpan and broom and how to wipe down their tables.


We also discussed how to express our feelings and use our words when we feel challenged during an activity—whether talking with friends or teachers.


Our Book of the Month was The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn. After reading, students created their own “kissing hands” by making handprints on paper and adding a heart in the center to represent a parent’s kiss.


The letters of the week began with A, and students practiced dotting both uppercase and lowercase A, B, and C. To reinforce letter recognition, we added creative crafts for each new letter.


Science time brought an introduction to the frog’s life cycle and the parts of a frog’s body. In art, students discovered the colorful world of Andy Warhol and his famous pop art style. They then made their own bright and bold handprint pop art creations.


As September comes to a close, we will continue practicing our alphabet through songs and art projects.

Summer 2025

This summer at school was filled with so many exciting and memorable activities! The children had an absolute blast during our special Water Days, where they got to splash, run through sprinklers, and play fun water games that kept everyone cool and happy under the summer sun. Laughter could be heard all around as friends joined together to enjoy the refreshing activities.



Another highlight of the summer was Foam Party Day. The playground was covered in bubbles, and the children couldn’t get enough of the bubbly fun! They laughed, danced, and played together, making memories that will surely last a lifetime. These special days were not only a lot of fun, but also wonderful opportunities for the children to practice teamwork, sharing, and social skills.


One of the most exciting moments of the summer was when the local police officers came to visit our school. The children were thrilled to see a real police car up close, learn about safety, and ask plenty of curious questions. It was a unique experience that combined fun with important lessons about our community and how to stay safe.


Throughout the summer, our students explored new activities, made new friends, and tried exciting experiences that encouraged creativity, curiosity, and confidence. From water games to bubble parties to learning about community helpers, every day was full of joy and discovery. It was truly a summer full of laughter, learning, and special memories that we will all cherish. We are so grateful for the time we spent together and can’t wait for another amazing school year ahead!
