Early Childhood

As the school year came to a close, our EC3 students enjoyed some extra time outdoors, where imagination and nature came together. In our outdoor mud kitchen, the children became creative chefs, using leaves, tiny sticks, and other natural treasures to "cook" delicious imaginary meals.

As they mixed, stirred, and served their nature-inspired creations, they practiced cooperation, communication, and creative thinking while exploring the world around them. It was a wonderful way to celebrate the end of the year—learning through play, fresh air, and endless imagination!

On June 12th, our Preschool students welcomed their families for the Spring Informances, a special event held twice each year to celebrate learning and growth.

Focused on Music and Art learning since the third quarter, the Informances gave children the opportunity to share songs, movements, and activities they have been exploring in class. Parents were encouraged to join in, making the experience interactive and engaging for everyone.

Following the Informances, families visited the school's final art exhibition of the academic year. The display featured a variety of student creations, including Kindergarten sunflower paintings inspired by Vincent van Gogh and EC students' artwork titled I Am a Monster, celebrating the creativity and imagination of our young artists.

Thank you to all the families who joined us for this joyful celebration of learning!

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.
