Open Day 2026

Our Open Day was a wonderful moment for parents and teachers to come together, reflect on the term so far, and discuss the growth, progress, and development of our amazing pupils.

Every child’s progress is supported by teachers who show up each day with patience, dedication, and genuine care.

Today’s meeting once again highlighted the strong partnership between our educators and parents, working together to ensure every child continues to learn, grow, and thrive.

We sincerely appreciate all our parents who made time out of their busy schedules to attend, ask questions, and stay actively involved in their children’s educational journey. Your support truly makes a difference.

To our incredible staff members, both teaching and non-teaching, thank you for your commitment, guidance, and the positive impact you make in the lives of our pupils every single day.

Together, we continue to build a strong foundation for learning, character, and future success.

Building Independence Through Practical Life Activities

At Gracey Private School, Ibadan, learning goes beyond books and worksheets. Today, our little learners participated in a meaningful Practical Life Activity — folding socks!

Though simple, this hands-on activity plays a powerful role in a child’s development. Practical life exercises are designed to help children master everyday skills while building essential abilities that support academic and personal growth.

Why Folding Socks Matters

Through this activity, our pupils developed:

Fine motor skills – strengthening the small muscles in their hands and fingers

Hand–eye coordination – learning to control movements with precision

Concentration and focus – paying attention to each step of the task

Independence – building confidence in doing things by themselves

A sense of order and responsibility – understanding that small tasks matter

In the Early Years, activities like folding, pouring, sorting, and organizing lay the foundation for discipline, patience, and problem-solving. These are not just classroom tasks — they are life skills.

Learning in the Little Moments

At Gracey Private School, we believe real learning happens in the little moments. When a child successfully folds a sock, it is more than just a completed task — it is a victory. It is confidence built. It is focus strengthened. It is responsibility nurtured.

Our pupils demonstrated remarkable concentration and enthusiasm, showing that even the simplest activities can create meaningful learning experiences.

We are proud of our young learners and the steady growth we see in them every day.

Up GRACEY! We catch them young!!!

We believe that nurturing healthy children is just as important as nurturing brilliant minds.

At Gracey, we raise confident, knowledgeable, and well-rounded leaders; one healthy choice at a time! 🌟

Hands-On Math with Golden Beads

At our learning space, numbers come alive through hands-on exploration. Using the Golden Beads, our learners engaged with math in a practical and meaningful way — touching, counting, and arranging each bead to understand numbers beyond the textbook.

This interactive activity helps children turn abstract math concepts into clear, relatable experiences. As they work one bead at a time, they develop strong number sense, improve concentration, and build confidence in their abilities.

Learning becomes more than memorizing; it becomes discovery, curiosity, and real understanding.

We believe that when children learn by doing, they grow not only academically but also in independence and joy for learning.

Nurturing Young Minds, Shaping Bright Futures

At Gracey Private School, we believe every child is a seed with God-given potential. What we teach today shapes the leaders, innovators, and role models of tomorrow.

As Proverbs 22:6 reminds us,

“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.”

Beyond academics, we focus on building character, instilling strong values, and guiding children to think wisely, act responsibly, and grow with kindness and confidence.

Every lesson, every encouragement, and every moment of care is an investment in a lifetime of success. Together, we are raising children who will shine in knowledge, in character, and in purpose.

Week of Fun, Fitness, and Joyful Learning

This week, our Sports Day was filled with laughter, movement, and joyful learning 🎉. The school came alive with excitement as our pupils actively participated in a variety of fun-filled activities designed to promote physical development and teamwork.

Our children proudly displayed great coordination, cooperation, and enthusiasm as they played, moved, and cheered one another on. Beyond the games, the day provided valuable opportunities for social interaction, confidence-building, and learning through play.

Moments like these remind us that children learn best when they are active, happy, and fully engaged. Sports Day was not just about physical exercise, it was about nurturing healthy habits, encouraging teamwork, and creating meaningful experiences that support holistic development.
We are proud to continue building strong bodies, confident minds, and beautiful memories that will last a lifetime.

Practical Life in Action 🌱

Our little learners recently engaged in a hands-on Montessori Practical Life activity — rolling mats.

While simple at first glance, this exercise plays a powerful role in early childhood development.

Through rolling mats, children strengthen:

Fine and gross motor coordination

Concentration and focus

Independence and self-confidence

Respect for their learning environment

Each child learns to handle materials with care, follow a clear sequence, and complete a task from beginning to end. These moments build a strong sense of responsibility, order, and self-discipline — essential skills that form the foundation for lifelong learning.

At this stage, every small action is a big step toward becoming confident, capable, and mindful learners.
