Preschoolers are Upbeat!

This has been an upbeat week for the Perky Preschoolers! 

UNIT OF INQUIRY

This week the Preschoolers are FINDING OUT more about how roles and responsibilities make organisations run smoothly. They have shared their own roles and responsibilities at home. They have also introduced to the class the different members of their family. 

We have also invited Oxana Merineau to come and share with the preschoolers the amazing roles and responsibilities af a HOUSEWIFE and a MOTHER. 

 

 

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Today preschoolers had their first IT lesson. They were taught the proper way carrying, returning and taking care of the laptops. 

They were also introduced to SEESAW! Mr. Huber came in and showed the preschoolers how to log-in in their account. They were excited to see some of the works that were uploaded in SEESAW. 


MUSIC
In Music, the Perky Preschoolers explored different percussion instruments such as drums, clapper, wood and stick. They also looked at the concept of BEATS - which is the steady pulse that you feel in the tune, like a clock's tick. It is something that you would naturally clap or tap your foot to.

Enjoy the video of Perky Preschoolers echoing the BEATS on their drums. 



Here are some photos of Perky Preschoolers in action!

PRESCHOOLERS and their FAMILIES

  The FAMILY TREE helps the Preschoolers understand the relationship of each members of their family. This representation helps them understand the roles of the mother, father, sister, brother, grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, and cousins play in their life history.  The Preschoolers continued to inquire about the personal histories of their family. They worked on their own Family Tree and have started SORTING OUT information that they have gathered from the interview with their parents, discussions and their own knowledge about the members of their family.          They have also made a visual representation of who lives in our home.  Before the Golden week, they did a series mapping exercise.  The place where they have lived or where they have travelled.
