Early Childhood

What a day full of discovery, creativity, and fun!

Our adventure began with a journey through the history of Lisbon’s transportation. The children were fascinated to learn about the very first trams, known as the “American cars,” which were pulled by horses long before electric trams existed.

One of the most exciting moments of the visit was riding in the first electric tram! Our wonderful guide, Luiza, brought history to life using a magical box to explain how the trams and the funicular worked, making the experience interactive and unforgettable for the children.

We also explored Lisbon’s very first double-decker bus and imagined what travelling through the city must have been like many years ago.

To finish our museum visit, the children created beautiful and imaginative finger puppets — each one unique and full of personality!

After a busy and exciting morning, we headed to the park in Restelo for a picnic lunch. With the lovely weather, everyone enjoyed eating together, laughing, and playing outdoors.

It was truly a memorable day filled with learning, laughter, creativity, and exploration!

Big day out for our EC3/EC4 explorers at the Pavilhão do Conhecimento

They stepped into the shoes of real builders and discovered some special mind-bending illusions! Some of our brave students even tested their strength carrying very heavy loads… (don’t worry, it was all part of the fun 😉)

Before Spring Break we celebrated a beautiful Easter tradition by baking a delicious Folar with our Early Childhood 4 students.

They joined us in the classroom for this special hands-on learning experience, where we explored the ingredients together—naming, touching, mixing, and even smelling each one. The room was soon filled with a wonderful, mouthwatering aroma!

In the afternoon, we gathered for a joyful picnic with the Kindergarten classes to share our freshly baked Folar. It was a wonderful moment of community, celebration, and togetherness, reminding us that sharing is caring.

Last Friday, on a bright and sunny morning, our Preschool students enjoyed a delightful egg hunting activity filled with excitement, laughter, and discovery.

With baskets in hand and big smiles on their faces, the children eagerly explored the outdoor spaces, searching high and low for colorful eggs that had been carefully hidden by two special Magic Bunnies. The warm sunshine made the experience even more magical, creating the perfect setting for this joyful tradition.

This activity was designed especially for our Preschool students, offering them a fun and engaging way to develop their observation skills, practice teamwork, and celebrate the season together. The concept of sharing was also introduced, as students worked together to collect all the eggs at the end of the activity so they could be equally shared among everyone. From the thrill of finding each egg to sharing their discoveries with friends, every moment was filled with enthusiasm and wonder.

It was truly a morning to remember—one that brought our youngest learners together in a spirit of joy, curiosity, and community.

Today, we switched things up during our library session! Instead of listening to a story, EC3 took the lead and presented “Urso Castanho, Urso Castanho, O Que Vês Aqui?” We also explored the book “Todos no Sofá” together.
A wonderful moment of storytelling, confidence, and shared reading!
