As we used to do... yes, right today, in the digital age, when paper seems to be falling out of use, the small pupils of Montessori Nursery Oxford, they took a trip down memory lane.

Within the scope of activities planned for the project of the year: “The Library amongst the School Desks”The children took part in the educational outing at the Museum of Printing in Merine.

The very young pupils were involved in an interesting Laboratory activities during which they were able to make recycled paper sheets and, using ancient presses from the 1800s, print a postcard depicting Lecce Cathedral and a famous character from fantasy novels for children, to be coloured in at school.

It was an exciting experience for the children attending Oxford Nursery School, grappling with parchment sheets and the printing press, fascinated by the stories of those who welcomed them.

The little ones, well accustomed to laboratory activities within the Institute where the Montessori method is applied, proved to be attentive and collaborative, before returning home with an extra piece of knowledge in their possession.
