At Gracey Private School, Ibadan, we believe that learning is not limited to textbooks. It extends to everyday habits and life skills that shape confident, well-rounded children.

Recently, our Nursery Two class engaged in a fun and educational Practical Life session focused on “Posture and Presentation.” The children practiced sitting upright, maintaining eye contact, and participating in guided conversations — all in a warm, playful environment.

More than just a circle time, this activity was designed to:

✅ Encourage proper sitting posture

✅ Build self-awareness and confidence

✅ Improve focus and classroom readiness

✅ Reinforce social interaction and discipline

Our colorful playground provided the perfect setting for this hands-on experience. Surrounded by positive visuals and caring teachers, the pupils felt safe, seen, and supported — just the way learning should be.

At Gracey, we catch them young and nurture them with intentionality. We believe every child deserves a foundation built on character, confidence, and care.

We integrate Practical Life Activities into our daily learning to nurture well-rounded development in our young learners. In this activity, the children engaged in a sorting exercise, carefully separating grains of rice, garri and beans.

Beyond being an enjoyable task, this exercise serves multiple developmental purposes:

Eye-Hand Coordination: Refining the ability to control hand movements with visual input.

Concentration: Encouraging sustained attention and focus on a single task.

Fine Motor Skills Development: Strengthening the small muscles of the hands and fingers, essential for writing and other daily activities.

Through activities like these, our Montessori-based approach ensures that children build a solid foundation for academic success while also acquiring practical life skills that will serve them well in their daily lives.

Nursery One took coordination and concentration to the next level with our Colorful Ring Toss Challenge! 🌈💫
