February Curriculum
At The Curragh Montessori we are starting the month with a little History Project all about St.Brigid and her life as a very kind person. We are learning all about St. Brigid’s relevance to Co. Kildare.
Scaffolding on from this we will be spending some time discussing different ways that we can be kind to others and how others are kind to us.
Later in the month and still on the caring theme is Valentine’s Day and Love is in the air!! We will talk to the children about our Emotions and how Loving someone makes us feel. We will be compiling a list of words to explain what love is. We will be doing some work for our ‘Learning Journals’ about WHO we love and WHY we love them. The children are also very busy decorating the school with love hearts.
This month we will also be discussing the changing season as we move from Winter and St. Brigid brings The Spring.
Safety In The Car Park – I would like to ask all parents to be vigilant in the carpark both at drop-off and collection times. Unfortunately, due to restricted space, we need to keep the flow of traffic into and out of the carpark moving. Please therefore when you are dropping off and collecting, be mindful that other cars are also trying to get in and out. Also, please do not allow your child to run around the carpark at this time. Parent/Child minders need to hold the child’s hand in the carpark at all times.
Also I realise that the space outside the school entrance is ‘handy’ to park in BUT when there are cars parked here they totally hinder the view up the road to the right of the school making it more dangerous for cars that are leaving the carpark. So, for this reason please do not park on the close to the school entrance.
Book Interest – Spring; Love; Emotions. If anyone has a nice book (on this month topics) that their child would like to share with their class please bring it in and we will read it and then return the book again.
