Montessori birthday circle 

Birthdays are a special event for a Montessori child. Please confirm arrangements in advance with Sophie We encourage parents and family members to attend your child’s birthday celebration!

​

We celebrate the child's birthday with a special birthday circle where we walk through the timeline of the child’s life. Please could you bring in a poster photographs depicting special events or milestones; for example, the day they were born, a birthday party, etc. Up to 3 photographs per year of your child’s life will be sufficient to illustrate their timeline.

Parents (aunts, uncles, grandparents, family friends and child carers) are welcome to bring your child’s favourite book to read to the class. We value parents and family participation in school to build a strong link between home and school. Please book a date and time in advance with Sophie.
