UNIT 2 Who we are

Who we are

When children are self-aware, they understand themselves and recognise their own strengths and challenges. It makes it easier for them to build self-confidence, express themselves and speak up their own needs and wants. They understand that they may be different from other children, but that is okay - that makes them unique and special.

For our second unit, Preschoolers will be looking at the Transdisciplinary Theme: Who we are.

As we progress with the unit, the students will anchor their inquiry on the Central Idea, 'Choices we make define and build our character and personality. They will learn about : problem solving, acceptable and unacceptable choices and cause and effect. Through these Lines of Inquiry, preschoolers will also understand the Concepts of connection and causation that will guide them as they develop to become students who are knowledgeable, balanced and reflective. Throughout the unit, they are expected to reach their understanding of the concepts as they develop their Thinking Skills and Social Skills.

UOI: TUNING IN
We have started with our Tuning In activity and the Preschoolers brainstormed ideas about our unit on 'Who we are".


Preschool will also be hosting an Assembly this November, watch out for our video! 

Have a good weekend!

Night of the Student Led Conference

Preschoolers practice for their upcoming Student Led Conference (SLC) by engaging in mock sessions with peers and teachers. These practices help the students build confidence as they learn to talk about their artwork, classroom routines, and personal growth.  Using the checklist prompted by visuals like portfolios and photo displays, preschoolers explain their learning journey in simple, meaningful ways. Practicing ahead of the actual conference allows them to feel prepared and proud to share with their families.  It fosters communication skills, independence, and a strong sense of ownership over their learning — all foundational for future academic and social success. During the actual Student Led Conference, preschoolers experienced a range of emotions. Some felt nervous facing their parents, while others were visibly tired or overwhelmed by the attention.  A few needed gentle support to stay engaged. On the other hand, many confidently shared their work, explained clas...

Entering the world of imagination

Children use imagination to write poems and create artworks in wonderfully instinctive and unfiltered ways.  They are not constrained by thinking or grammar rules and truly believe simple things in life.  This kind of imaginative freedom allows them to create words and images that we might not even consider. They use personal experience and reimagine things. They write freely without filter and   mix real life with fantasy to create rich, expressive writing. They can use this form of writing to develop self-confidence and connections with themselves and others.  In Artwork, they use their creative imagination to create symbolic representation that we, as adults, could never have imagined.  Children represent the world how they feel it, not just how they see it.  Their artworks become a portal to an entirely new worlds. In this unit on  how we express ourselves,  preschoolers will be encouraged to use: Open-ended materials (like...
