PRESCHOOLERS Travel Around The World


The preschoolers started looking at their family histories and created their own  'Family Tree'. 

This activity enables the preschoolers to know the members of their extended family, this is important in gaining a deeper understanding of who they are. 

They also had a 'Mapping Activity' wherein they looked at maps to guide their inquiry on the sense of the world. This activity helps them perceive themselves as to where they are in place and time. 

 

Through this mapping activity, they discovered:
  • The places / countries they have been to
  • The country/ies where their parents and grandparents are from
  • The location of their country and the continent where it belongs to
  • Understand how and why people go to different places 



Preschoolers will continue digging deeper at their family histories when we come back after the Golden Week!
