Children in the EC section all brought a special shell to lay in the concrete of our new stepping stones. Now that our gardens are growing the PTA decided that stepping stones would be an attractive addition to the EC playground area. Many thanks to Shreeji Constructions for providing the concrete and the expertise to make these stones. The pupils were excited to decorate the stones and the end result was very beautiful. Some children did handprints on the stones. What excitement there was!

| Year 9 meet Year 2 – as part of their writing project the children of Year 9 visited the Early Childhood section. They were interested to learn about how children learn to read at this age and what help they get in the classroom and from home. The pupils listened to children read their reading books and asked them questions. They also heard them read their own stories. Both age groups enjoyed the encounter. We look forward to reading the autobiographies of Class 9.
All the students really enjoyed hearing the Year 2 pupils read their books! |

What a huge tiger shark!
Year 2s went to visit the museum as part of their topic work on Water. The children have been learning a lot about the sea and all of the wonderful things there. The class were so excited to see turtles, crocodiles, Seychelles insects, giant tortoises and sharks. The interactive displays on the first floor were a lot of fun for the classes and all the children learnt a lot by looking carefully and drawing some of the interesting things that they saw. Many thanks to the Museum staff especially Nicole for allowing us to visit the museum and enjoy its natural treasures. Such a treat for the children to see such a lovely display of Seychelles flora and fauna!

Year 1 – Story Time!
During open time the Year 1 classes join together so that the children have an opportunity to explore the different concepts that we are learning about and to interact together. The Year 1 classes helped to lead the EC assemblies by telling stories and doing actions.
We told the story of ‘A strange visitor’
Year 1J presented the story of ‘The Rainbow Fish’ to the other classes
