#FourForestLuzernSpotlight | Growing Together in Preschool 🌱
Our Preschool students have been exploring the topic of growth through hands-on learning, creativity, and time outdoors. Inspired by the picture book Plants Need Friends Too, the children worked together to plant our school garden, paint colourful signs, and learn how vegetables and herbs grow step by step.
One of the highlights? Tasting the very first basil from the garden together 🌿
Through activities like gardening, storytelling, and creative play, our youngest learners are discovering how care, patience, and teamwork help things grow.

Unsere Preschool-Kinder haben sich mit dem Thema Wachstum beschäftigt und dabei durch praktisches Lernen, Kreativität und Zeit im Freien viel entdeckt. Inspiriert vom Bilderbuch Plants Need Friends Too haben die Kinder gemeinsam unseren Schulgarten bepflanzt, bunte Schilder bemalt und gelernt, wie Gemüse und Kräuter Schritt für Schritt wachsen.
Ein besonderes Highlight? Gemeinsam den ersten Basilikum aus dem Garten zu probieren 🌿
Durch Aktivitäten wie Gärtnern, Geschichten und kreatives Spielen entdecken unsere jüngsten Lernenden, wie Fürsorge, Geduld und Teamarbeit Dinge wachsen lassen.

#FourForestZugSpotlight Grade 3 Bike Safety Lesson in Zug 🚲
Our Grade 3 students took part in a bike lesson with the Zug Police, learning important road safety rules and how to ride safely in traffic.
They also practised key cycling skills, including balancing, steering, and controlling their bikes through different exercises. It was a valuable hands-on lesson that helped our students build confidence and awareness on the road.

#FourForestZugSpotlight 1KG Spring Walk to the Lake 🌿
Spring learning came to life for 1KG today during a sunny walk to the lake.
Along the way, the children observed nature closely, spotting caterpillars gathered in webs on the bushes, listening to birds, and looking for insects along the path. At the lake, they watched ducks and ducklings swimming in the water.
It was a beautiful opportunity to slow down, notice the small details of spring, and learn more about plants, animals, and wildlife through real outdoor exploration.

Heute wurde der Frühling für die 1KG bei einem sonnigen Spaziergang zum See lebendig.
Unterwegs beobachteten die Kinder die Natur ganz genau. Sie entdeckten Raupen, die sich in Netzen auf den Büschen gesammelt hatten, hörten den Vögeln zu und suchten entlang des Weges nach Insekten. Am See beobachteten sie Enten und Entenküken im Wasser.
Es war eine schöne Gelegenheit, die kleinen Details des Frühlings wahrzunehmen und durch echte Erfahrungen draussen mehr über Pflanzen, Tiere und die Tierwelt zu lernen.
