🗞️ Here's our weekly wrap-up! 🌟

Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend! ✨ ☕

Summer fun time! Splash Splash Splash💦

Last week during gardening, we made banana honey oat cookies – all for Father’s Day. 🍯 Our children peeled, smashed, and mixed everything themselves. Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing dads!🩷👨🏻✨

Polka dots and pumpkins.
And a whole lot of imagination. 🔴🟡🔵

Our CAP children learned about Yayoi Kusama — the artist who loves dots and pumpkins more than anything.

We looked at her colourful artwork, talked about her unique style, and noticed how dots can turn something simple into something extraordinary. 🎨

Then, we made our own Kusama-inspired craft.Dots everywhere. Pumpkins too.
What a creative week with CAP. 🔴🟡🔵

It’s Dragon Boat Festival this Friday! ✌🏻
We gathered to make sticky rice dumplings together. Thank you to all our children and parents for contributing ingredients and helping make this traditional activity even more special. 🎉
We enjoyed the joy of creating something together ❤️😄

From The Cat and the Bird 🐱🐦
to The Frog Prince 🐸👑

Our CAP children explored two wonderful stories over the past few weeks.

First, they coloured a cat and a bird — bringing the tale to life with bright crayons. 🎨

Then, they made their very own Frog Prince craft.

Two stories. Two crafts.
A few weeks of fun with CAP. 💛

Don’t Just “Survive” the School Holidays

School holidays: a time for joy, freedom, and… the looming dread of endless “I’m bored” declarations. But what if these weeks off could be more than just a survival test for parents?

According to Louise Livingston, Head of Training at Maria Montessori Institute, the break offers a golden opportunity—not just to keep children busy, but to nurture their creativity, independence, and lasting family memories. By borrowing a few key principles from the Montessori approach, parents can transform chaotic days into meaningful moments of growth, discovery, and genuine connection.

Here’s how to prepare your home, embrace the unexpected, and even let your child take the lead this holiday season.

For STEAM, we made boats from bamboo leaves and tested if they could keep a paper person dry 🛶🌿 Will it float? Will the person stay dry? Let’s find the answer together!✨
