Meet The Team

Class Poem

When I’m building with the blocks, Please don’t say I’m “just playing.” For, you see, I’m learning as I play. About balance and shapes.

When I’m all dressed up, Setting the table, caring for babies, Don’t get the idea I’m “just playing.” For, you see, I’m learning as I play.

When you see me up to my elbows in paint, Or standing at an easel, or moulding and shaping clay. Please don’t let me hear you say “he’s just playing.” For, you see, I’m learning as I play. I’m expressing myself and being creative. I may be an artist or an inventor someday.

When you see me sitting in a chair, “Reading” to an imaginary audience, Please don’t laugh and think “I’m just playing.” For, you see, I’m learning as I play. I may be a teacher someday.

When you see me engrossed in a puzzle, Or some “plaything” at my school, Please don’t feel the time is wasted in “play”, For, you see, I’m learning as I play. I’m  learning to solve problems and concentrate, I may be in business someday.

When you see me cooking or tasting foods, Please don’t think that because I enjoy it, it is just “play”. I’m learning to follow directions and see differences, I may be a chef someday.

When you see me learning to skip, hop, run and move my body, Please don’t say I’m “just playing.”
For, you see, I’m learning as I play. I’m learning how my body works. I may be a doctor, nurse or athlete someday.

When you ask me what I’ve done at school today, And I say, “I played”,
Please don’t misunderstand me. For, you see, I’m learning as I play. I’m learning to enjoy and be successful in work. I’m preparing for tomorrow. Today, I’m a child and my work is play
