For our final class excursion, the children of Gan Gefen had an incredible experience at the Museum of Play and Art (MoPA), a space designed to inspire creativity, exploration, and hands-on learning. After a quick morning tea, they were divided into two groups. One of our MoPA educators, Zoe Ziguras, was a King David School graduate!

The excitement was palpable as the children eagerly explored the interactive activities. They collaborated to build impressive structures using giant blocks, enhancing their teamwork and problem-solving skills. Designing and racing LEGO cars on a rollercoaster track sparked creativity and refined their fine motor skills. At the air pipes station, they experimented with air-powered balls, igniting curiosity about scientific concepts like airflow and motion.

The adventure continued in Sunset City (the castle), where they explored and climbed, boosting their coordination, confidence, and resilience. In a quieter moment, the children enjoyed a captivating story about mixing colours and construction vehicles.

The day ended on a high note with a lively disco party, where they danced joyfully with friends, strengthening their social bonds and celebrating movement. This excursion was filled with discovery, creativity, and fun—a perfect culmination of our year together!
