Preschoolers are REFLECTIVE

UNIT OF INQUIRY

Preschoolers are very lucky to learn and understand the last Line of Inquiry  on "different factors that affect change and growth of animals" from someone who have actually worked with different animals!! 


Veronica Anzuay, a Veterinarian came and shared with the Preschoolers her experiences and expertise about different animals. 


She talked about the different reasons why animals don't survive, become endangered or extinct. 

The preschoolers realised that some reasons are: 
1. Predators 
2. Health / Sickness
3. Lack of food and water
4. No shelter  or home
5. Dirty air to breathe
6. People 


They asked several questions and even came up with their own "Action Plan" on how they can help save the animals! 

Thank you so much, Veronica for the wonderful presentation! 


LITERACY
After a week of planning, drafting and editing, Preschoolers are writing the final draft of their Animal Story. 


 

They will publish their books soon!

Changes

"Why are all people different?" -Tamaki- I think that this is one of the most difficult question a child can ask.  Even I couldn't find the correct or the exact answers to this. However, 'Guess the Baby' experiment shows that we, somehow all look alike at some stage in our lives - when we are babies.  We looked at the strip of papers and the names written. We found out that a lot of the guesses where wrong and mixed up. We asked some teachers and students and they had a difficult time guessing the babies.  "They all look alike!" was the common response that we heard. But, if we look closely and pay attention, we can see that, the same baby is still there. So today, we have revealed the names of the babies!  Look at their photos... THEN and NOW Tamaki "The shape of the face looks the same."   Ciel Not one person guessed Ciel.  Well, Ciel didn't even recognize his own photo!  Koh "He still looks the same."  Daisy "Her smile and

ENERGY IN PRESCHOOL

  FOOD CHAIN An order in which living things depend on each other for food. We have identified food as one of the things living things need to live.  This is the same for both plants and animals. However, we are not as lucky as the plants - they can make their own food!  The sun helps them make food through the process called ' photosynthesis'.   And because of this special power, plants are called producers. They start the food chain and transfer energy to the consumers. We have learned about the different animal groups and the preschool used their knowledge to create their food chain.    They chose one animal and using their knowledge about animals, they showed how animal get their food.  Next week, we will continue with our inquiry answering the question: How do animals go through a process of change? SPORTS DAY PHOTOS   JAVELIN THROW         500 METER RUN              Oh definitely, Preschooolers are full of ENERGY!

DEFINING HISTORY

Personal History "Making your own story" - Perky Preschool - SEE THINK WONDER As a provocation for our new unit on "personal histories allow us to reflect on and celebrate growth and change", we did a ' See Think Wonder' Thinking Routine activity.  In groups, the students looked at photos related to the unit and wrote down things that they see, what they thought and wonderings that they may have.  This thinking routine was then used as a springboard to unlock our unit vocabulary words such as: personal, history, events, and change.   TIMELINE The students also completed a simple timeline that shows the past, present and future. As we inquire further in the unit, they will be able to gain more detailed knowledge about their personal history.  NUMERACY / LITERACY This week we also started with our math and reading stations. During the different station activities, each group will get a chance to explore different  concepts and activities that will help strengt
