Cumran Cubs
Week Two
Week One
Week one of Cumran Cubs has been a delight. With lots of little Cubs running up to our door each afternoon, every day has been filled with lots of purposeful play, creative imagination and super smiles.
This week we have been focusing on our sense of self and sharing with others. From self-portraits to self-reflective stories and of course our wonderful All About Me booklets. In Cumran Cubs we focus on learning through play which comes in many forms and this week it has involved small world play with cars; cutting and sticking paper; pouring and catching water; painting big boxes; and even churning cream into butter; and much much more.
'A play-based approach to learning provides children with an abundance of learning opportunities to create, experiment, imagine and explore. At the same time, they develop negotiation skills, problem-solving skills, self-regulation strategies, social skills, and healthy relationships with their peers and adults.'

Thank you to all our supportive parents who have brought their little ones along to our wonderful school. Please remember that when our Cubs leave school smiling and covered in paint, it's more than just a messy shirt—it’s a vibrant sign of discovery, joy, and growth. Those paint-smears reflect little steps in learning: fine motor skills strengthening, hand-eye coordination sharpening, and creativeness growing. In those radiant, paint-speckled smiles, we see the heart of early education at its best.
Thank you to all our Cubs for a wonderful first week!
