Playgroup

Bishop’s College Playgroup

  • Every morning begins with a warm welcome and Free play magic.
  • Good morning songs, calendar fun and pretend play follows with once a week pool time fun.
  • Every week a new adventure of colours or carrots, crabs or carnivores, caterpillars or critters, clouds or corals are carefully discussed at circle time.
  • The mid- morning cozy ‘munch time’ is loaded with ‘sweet conversations’, sharing and caring and ‘healthy snacks’, fill the tummies.
  • From dancing with scarves, ribbons and umbrellas, to marching like animals, blowing bubbles, parading with hats, masks and parachutes, this is the time to wiggle, jump and groove.
  • Then it’s nature’s time to be the classroom. Slides, swings, sandpits, shadows, seeds and sprouts, scavenger hunts and building motor magic.
  • Back inside – soft mats, whispering to stuffed friends, dreamy tales, sensory trays and a ‘blink nap’ winds down our day.
  • A ‘ calm table activity’, sticking, colouring, finger painting rainbows and puzzle play wraps up the morning!

The Playgroup of Bishop’s College inaugurated in January 2023, is not just a classroom: It’s a cosy “launch pad” where little steps, begin enchanted journeys.
