Pre-schools’ News – Week 4

Dear Families,

We have had a fun-filled week, diving into our Term 4 unit of inquiry at Pre-school. The children have thoroughly enjoyed expressing themselves through our weekly Music and Drama classes, where creativity was in full swing.

A definite highlight of the week was the exciting incursion from Jungle Beat. The St Mark’s and St Michael’s 3 and 5 Day Groups had the wonderful opportunity to immerse themselves in African Drumming, an unforgettable experience where they learned about rhythm, coordination and developed a deeper appreciation for cultural music.

In addition to Music, our children have been hard at work in the Visual Arts space, creating their end of year pieces. St Mark’s have been expressing themselves through art, capturing the emotions they feel when listening to different genres of music. It’s been amazing to see how the children translate their feelings and experiences into their artwork!

We are looking forward to many more hands-on learning opportunities, as we continue exploring our unit this term.
