The children have settled back into routine so well. We are beginning with a small group in term 1, with many children returning from last year, and some children entering their third year at Lindfield Montessori. The continuity of the Montessori environment helps the children feel connected and return easily to familiar adults and friends. It is always nice to see the way that chilren adapt to building new frienships and play mates as well as enjoying the company of previous friends too.
This term, we welcome our new three year old friend, Luke, and his family to our community. We are looking forward to welcoming more friends throughout the year, so if you know of friends , neighbours or colleagues that are looking for a great Montessori preschool or first year of school for their children, please pass on your experience with us, and hopefully your recommendation.
We began the first week with an acknowledgement of Lunar New Year, which many families celebrate. Ryu brought in a lovely book about the ‘great race’, detailing the order of the animals assigned to each year of the 12 year cycle. We also heard from many of the children after reading the story about visiting Chatswood to experience dragon dances or fireworks. On the shelves, we had a box of the Lunar New Year animals and ordinal number cards that the children enjoyed using to retell the story of the great race. We concluded with a craft activity to make lanterns and picture books.
