Preschoolers are Finding Out

The preschoolers are FINDING OUT more information about their school community. They looked at photos of some of the people who work at DSKI. They coloured in the emojis to signify how familiar they are with the person in the photo.

They realised that they did not know a lot of the people in the pictures and what they do for the school. They toured around the school and searched for them and to see where they are and what they do in school.

As INQUIRERS, they also asked questions to understand the roles and responsibilities of the people working in the school community.

"What do you do?"

"Do you like your job? Why do you like it?"

"Why are you a teacher?"

"What makes you important in our school?"

"What are your responsibilities as a student?"

"Why do you help us?"

"Why do you have to clean the whole school?"

How are these people helping each other make the DSKI community run smoothly? We'll find out next week!

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...

Field Trip

FIELD TRIP Children who experience a holistic development during their younger school years grow up to become global citizens. Taking the students out of the classroom is important because it provides a balance between indoor and outdoor activities. It prepares them for what it is like in the real world. As part of our unit on How The World Works which focuses on the science of living things, the preschoolers went out on a field trip to Rokkosan Pasture. In here, the students were immersed and had access to a different environment, the farm habitat together with the animals who live there. They experienced interactive learning by feeding and getting up close with these friendly and hungry goats. They observed how the animals shared space and played inside their homes. They were able to make connections on how they, as preschoolers socially interact with one another inside the classroom. The parents who joined the trip also became the teachers a...
