For Mandela day 2016 our 'big class' of pre-schoolers did some themed art involving the South African flag.
Our children were also encouraged to spread good and do good deed, not only on Mandela day, but every day.

WHAT IS MANDELA DAY?
Heres some info from http://www.mandeladay.com/content/landing/What-is-Mandela-Day

“What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead” – Nelson Mandela 

WHAT A MESS?  Nope....

Aside from the activity being fun, and allowing a child to release emotion and express themselves, R. Althouse, M.H Johnson & S.T Mitchell from the New Jersey Department of Education found through a study that there are many other benefits to easel painting in the pre-school environment.

Liora Kramer of Liora's Ballet school continues her teaching of Ballet at the Bramley Nursery School.
The simple instruction and encouragement promotes movement to music, whilst introducint the children to the basics of Ballet.

Our 2015 class of students has graduated, but the dancing will be ongoing.

As always, we owe a huge thank you to Liora for her determination and patience, which can only arise out of her passion for Ballet Instruction and children!
