Off to School with Amara and Alex
On Monday, Amara and Alex start at their new school.
They are so excited because they will be making new friends from all over the world!
Amara and Alex go into school and meet their teachers, Ms. Tomlin and Ms. Voica. They are so caring and friendly!
Amara and Alex hang their hats and coats on their pegs. Ms. Tomlin shows them where everything goes and where the bathrooms are. They go into their classroom and sit on the carpet with the rest of the class.
Ms. Tomlin takes the register, the children then sing good morning in different languages! In the classroom there are areas set up for being creative, dressing up, making models, and working with letters, sounds and numbers.
At lunchtime Amara and Alex go to the dining hall. Amara eats her packed lunch from home and Alex has a yummy school lunch, which he loves!
In the afternoon Ms. Tomlin reads a story on the carpet, and the children all talk about their day. Amara and Alex think about all the things that they did today.
On Tuesday, Amara and Alex bounce out of bed in a rush to go to school! They are so excited because Tuesday means they go to the Forest School! They love playing outside because they get to work together and enjoy nature.
On Wednesday, Amara and Alex have even more fun! They watch the ducklings hatch and even get to hold one!
Alex then explores the sensory room. This is another place where he is creative with light and sound.
At lunchtime Amara and Alex try a new game outside which helps them learn all about time. They learn how to take turns and how to share!
In the afternoon, Amara goes to the sensory room for a nap because she is tired.
On Thursday morning, Amara and Alex go to assembly where Mr. Parkin, the Principal, asks them to share what they are learning with the older children.
To help build their confidence it is Amara and Alex’s turn to talk on Dwight Radio. They are excited because their nannies and grandads will be able to listen to them later.
After the assembly, they read with Molly the dog. Molly loves listening to the children read and the children find this really relaxing!
In the afternoon, they work at the woodwork bench. Amara and Alex ask their teacher lots of questions - they love learning new things.
On Friday, Amara and Alex learn some French. They can now say Bonjour to the French girl in their class.
At breaktime, Amara, Alex and all their new friends play outside even though it is raining!
The teachers ask them questions about how important playtime is! Amara and Alex love splashing in the puddles.
Before lunch, Amara and Alex have a music lesson and explore different instruments. They are so happy to learn another new skill!
They had the best week ever at their new school! Amara and Alex love having new friends from lots of countries!
On Saturday, Amara and Alex wake up and are both sad because today there is no school. They cannot wait to see all their friends again on Monday!
Come and join Amara and Alex at Dwight School!
