This week we went to Little Socium
The EY2, EY3 and EY4 children had the opportunity to visit Little Socium on their first educational field trip. Based on the principles of role play, the children explored various professions under the guidance and support of a wonderful team of adults. The children were very excited and were amazing ambassadors for the nursery – they headed off very sensibly to the awaiting buses and imbued the values of respect and responsibility in their behaviour and conduct.
This event would not have been possible without the help of our parents who volunteered their time and energy to ensure the children had the very best experience. On behalf of the entire team here at Hiba Academy Shanghai, I would like to extend my most sincere gratitude to everyone who supported this event – we simply wouldn’t have been able to do it without you.
Look who visited!

Must be Santa
Must be Santa
Must be Santa, Santa Claus
Whether you refer to him as Santa Claus, Father Christmas or another festive designation, his appearance is recognised throughout the world. The man in red took a little time out of his very busy schedule to pay a surprise visit to the nursery and read a story to the children this morning. Assisted by his trusty elf, Santa presented the children with a festive cookie to be enjoyed at home – please do check the list of ingredients ?
Friends of Hiba (FoH) – serving the community with Fun, Obligation and Harmony.
Friends of Hiba held their first information session on Tuesday where members of the core committee introduced themselves and the vision for what FoH will represent for the nursery. The session was well attended reflecting the commitment of the nursery families to developing the community further. The contribution of the parent community will be crucial to the success of Friends of Hiba and once again, I extend my gratitude to everyone that gave their time and support.
