We had a lovely day on the 8th of November with our Grandparent's and special people. "I liked when my Dad and Granddad followed me around the Learning Community to see all of my work". Inara

Thank you to our wonderful community for allowing Simon Learning Community to share objects, stories and photos from the past. We are very excited to have our Grandparent’s visit us on the 8th of November!

Every week in writing Simon Learning Community focuses on a book and then participates in exploration. During Exploration students either do construction, felt boards, role play, lego, making/arranging, play doh, dash and dot, drawing or cooking focusing on the particular story. So far we have explored, read and written about Hansel and Gretel, Jack and The Beanstalk, Goldilocks and The Three Bears and The Gingerbread Man.
