International Day of The African Child
Celebrating all the precious children in Hadassah Hall, and Africa at large.
Father’s Day
Hadassah Hall would like to wish all the fantastic fathers out there a wonderful Father’s Day! 💙💙
We join the world to celebrate and acknowledge the contributions fathers make to their families. There are many amazing dads making sacrifices every day to give their children a good life. It’s those qualities and many more that make fathers the heroes of our hearts.💙💙
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the Fathers and Father figures for doing so much for your children and for Hadassah Hall throughout the school year. And to those who have lost dads and will be spending this Father’s Day without them, our hearts go out to you and you are in our thoughts and prayers. 💙💙
God bless you all.💙💙
Practical Life: Peeling Eggs
The children really had fun playing with eggs: cracking, stirring, peeling, and lastly eating. It is a great sensory activity to show the difference between an uncooked egg and a cooked egg. Of course the real fun was having to eat the egg at the end of the lesson…
Art: Paint & Sip
Art fun with friends…

Exploring Objects in a Montessori Language Lesson
The main advantage of using real objects in the classroom is to make the learning experience more memorable for the learner. To give a couple of simple examples, if you are going to teach vocabulary of fruit and vegetables it can be much more affective for students if they can touch, smell and see the objects at the same time as hearing the new word. This would appeal to a wider range of learner styles than a simple flashcard picture of the fruit or vegetable.
Telling The Time
Introducing time-related vocabulary such as ‘o’clock’ and am/pm.
The Pink Tower
The Pink Tower is the iconic Montessori material. Often called the ‘symbol of Montessori’, it is a welcoming sign in any Montessori environment, and a favourite with educators globally.
Part of the sensorial area, it is comprised of 10 pink wooden cubes, in 3 different dimensions. The smallest being 1cm cubed, and the largest being 10cm cubed. The cubes progressively get bigger in the algebraic series of the third power. This means the second cube equals 8 of the first (23), the third cube equals 27 of the first (33) and so on.
Purpose
Introduced into the Montessori environment when children are 2.5 – 3 years old, the Pink Tower has multiple purposes.
Firstly, the Pink Tower helps a child build a concept of size in three dimensions. This includes working on visual perception, and awareness of dimension, both leading to an understanding of size in the environment.
The Pink Tower also helps develop a child’s fine muscular coordination. The activity stemming from this material work on the perfection hand movements, and the coordination of movement.
Finally, the Pink Tower is a Montessori material which helps prepare children for abstract mathematical concepts. This includes preparation for spatial volume, and the cube root.
The Pink Tower is a perfect example of how Montessori materials require children to use multiple sense at once. They are created in such a way to compliment a child’s stage of development, where they use all their senses to learn.
