Early Years

As the Trinity Term draws to a close, so does the potato digging season for the Kinder students. With many thanks to Joey our gardener for making this a reality for the children, this activity has been an eye-opener for both children and adults. The children got truly connected to the earth, an experience which…

There are times when the contrast between the world of adults and that of children contrasts sharply. Flying a kite in adult language takes on a very different meaning to the sheer joy that oozes out of these pictures. KG2W students created their own kites in class and then had the chance to run outside…

It is now all about Summer! KG1Z explored their Summer theme this week as they brought together their own ideas and discussed Summer items through photos using the class Promethean board. What followed was a class free drawing session where the students drew their Summer favourites using markers. They then spoke about their drawing as…

Children in Year 1Y have been exploring the concept of multiplication by replicating their printed lesson and using cubes. The boys used their thinking and problem-solving skills to come up with the correct answers using the cubes.

These wannabe Little Farmers had stamped their way to a healthy crop of spuds.  Watching their work grow, these children will learn to respect…

The classes were introduced to a variety of games as they each had a turn exploring the different balls and rackets used, learning the rules, following instructions and…

Our students are constantly reminded about the value of friendship. However, sometimes we make friends with new visitors. This week, on their way out, a little bird joined 3 of our KG2X boys as they waited for their van. The students were overjoyed but remained calm not to scare away the little creature. This was…

I guess none of our boys at St Edward’s College will have any difficulty in reading a tri-lingual headline as we start them young on languages. The beautiful days we are having are all the more reasons to head outside for our daily lessons. Year 2Y students held more lessons outdoors, some students choosing to…
