Mother’s Day at MBH<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On Wednesday 6 May our preschoolers work with their teachers to prepare an afternoon tea for their mums, grandmothers, Godmothers and special women in their lives. They created the event\u2019s invitation, made cupcakes that were served for afternoon tea, learnt and rehearsed You are My Sunshine<\/em> that they then sang for their guests. It was their ways of saying thank you for the love, care and guidance they receive from their mums. As a gift, every child shared a special Mother\u2019s Day message via a video with their mum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transition to School<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday 12 May, Occupational Therapist Sonya Moriarty presented the parent information session, Transition to School, to families from Mary Bailey House, SSC Prep and the community. Sonya spoke about the dispositions and skills that children need to engage in learning and connect with other children at school. Dispositions included self-regulation, curiosity, cooperation, confidence, commitment, independence and persistence. The skills needed are turn taking, sharing, unpacking their lunch, taking care of their personal belongings, being able to hold and use a pencil correctly and understanding basic concepts including numbers, letters, shapes and colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the month prior to school, MBH teachers and educators will be assessing each child\u2019s dispositions and skills and planning to promote them with their parents. Transition to school is a major step in a child\u2019s learning journey and has the best outcomes when early childhood teachers, parents, specialists and primary school teachers work together. At Santa Sabina we\u2019re in a unique position with everyone onsite with the same intention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
