On Fridays all our K6 cohort join together as one group. The home-like warmth and familiar rhythm continues so these children on the threshold of formal education can establish a sense of security in knowing what to expect from the day.

Children participate in time-honoured tasks such as baking bread, serving the morning tea table, chopping vegetables for soup and washing and drying dishes.

Solid foundations for academic learning are laid in the further development of gross and fine motor skills through artistic activities and handicrafts such as sewing, felting and finger knitting.

Sequencing skills, memory development and phonic awareness are exercised in the seasonal circle rhymes, songs, games, puppet shows and stories. With these we try to achieve will, attention spans and innovation encouraged through the inner initiative of self-directed play, whilst numeric skills are embedded in their day with stacking, sorting, counting, measuring and gathering.
