Early Years

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. They created towers, modified their values, and checked their work themselves to fully understand the concept and gain…

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…

Two years after the last conferment of the sacrament of First Holy Communion at St Edward’s College, the celebration is back. Albeit in a somewhat muted form due to Covid-19 precautions and restrictions, this year’s celebrations are in ‘extra-large’ format. Not only are the Year 2s preparing for their big day but, also this year, …
