Children from Montessori Academy were given a "hands-on'' history lesson when they pretended to be survivors of the Sea Venture. The youngsters, aged from three to six, dressed in traditional costume from the 1620s and were taken to the Idwal Wyn Hughes Nature Reserve.

Tim Seldon, headmaster of The Barrie School in Maryland, USA visited Bermuda to assist with the development of Montessori Academy, a new non-profit school in Warwick that opened last year and plans to expand to 110 students. He highlighted that Montessori schools, which prioritise student-centred learning and self-paced progress, offer a warm and supportive environment different from traditional schools.
