Pre-Primary 7

September 2026

As we began the new academic year, students focused on establishing classroom routines, learning expectations, and becoming more independent. During circle time and Practical Life activities, we practiced choosing and returning work, cleaning up after ourselves, using a broom and dustpan, wiping tables, and using our words to communicate with friends and teachers.



Our book of the month was The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn. Students created their own kissing hand using a handprint and a heart to represent a special kiss from Mommy or Daddy. We also began our letters of the week with A, B, and C, practicing uppercase and lowercase letter recognition through dotting activities and crafts.

In science, students learned about the life cycle of a butterfly and had the exciting opportunity to observe caterpillars transform into chrysalises. This hands-on experience encouraged patience, observation, and care for living things.

For art, students learned about Andy Warhol and created colorful Pop Art-inspired handprints. We also celebrated fall with leaf stamping, allowing students to explore seasonal colors, patterns, textures, and creativity.

Summer 2026

This summer has been filled with fun, laughter, learning, and so many wonderful memories! With the summer heat, our students had plenty of opportunities to splash, play, cool off, and enjoy water days at school, along with our special Popsicle Fridays. We also welcomed some very exciting special visitors, including a science expert, Ms. Rachel, a magician, and our local police officers. Our students loved getting hands-on and exploring the inside of the police cars, and some even had the opportunity to become a science expert’s helper! They were fascinated as they watched different materials mix together and create exciting reactions.



Each week, we explored a new and exciting theme that encouraged creativity, discovery, and hands-on learning. We kicked off the summer with “Party in the USA,” where students learned about the Fourth of July and what it means to our country. They created their own fireworks and enjoyed an interactive video showing spectacular fireworks displays. Students also created American flags using their handprints and painted red stripes to complete their patriotic masterpieces.

From there, our summer adventures continued! We sailed the seas on pirate adventures, explored the great outdoors during our camping week, and learned all about some of our favorite farm animals. From treasure hunts and creative art projects to farm fun, water play, and poolside adventures, every week brought something new to discover. Our classrooms were filled with smiles, laughter, curiosity, and plenty of opportunities to learn through play.

What a fun-filled summer it has been! While we are sad to see summer come to an end, we are excited to begin our next adventure as we prepare for the new academic school year in September.

As we transition into the new school year, we will spend time establishing and practicing our daily classroom routines and expectations. A big focus will be on using safe hands, using our words when we feel bothered or upset, and respecting one another’s personal space. These important skills will help us create a classroom environment where every child feels safe, respected, supported, and ready to learn.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership throughout the summer. We are so grateful to share these special moments with your children and look forward to watching them continue to grow, learn, and shine. Together, we can help our kiddos feel confident, loved, and ready to flourish in the year ahead! 🌟
