Wow it is hard to believe that the anticipation for the extra long June/July holidays have come and gone and we are already at the end of our first week back at school and very much into the swing of things!!
As always at the beginning of every term there is huge excitement to be back at school, see all our friends and Morahs again and to get our hands onto all the fun new materials! To see the kids beautiful, bright, shining faces on entering their classroom, it was heartwarming and gratifying to see how comfortable and content they are to be back 'at home'
This week we have been settling in......loving our new resources and materials and re-acquainting ourselves with our 'sinai agreements'.
In life skills we made beautiful friendship bracelets(their little fingers worked really hard) but what made these a little different and extra special is that we added the numbers '46664' on them to celebrate with the rest of the world our amazing Nelson Mandela - and each child got to draw beautiful pictures for Madiba for his birthday on Sunday 18 July. We had a very brief discussion about him and I promised the children that I would send their beautiful pictures to him for his 92nd birthday.
In honour of Tisha B'Av - we had a beautiful 'glitter art activity' (thank you Morah Sarah) - the children absolutely loved peeling off the paper and shaking glitter all over to create their very beautiful Beit Hamikdash - we all literally sparkled with glitter from head to toe!!
This week we were lucky to celebrate two birthdays - Wishing Ethan L and Kira a very happy year and a very big thank you to both families for your beautiful donation of puzzles and games to the school in honour of your birthdays.
Next week we begin our themes starting with birds, your contribution to our theme table would be greatly appreciated!
So watch this space......until we chat again!!
With love Morah Mandy
