The Expert in Anything was Once a Beginner




UNIT OF INQUIRY
SORTING OUT

This week, the preschoolers started their journey on becoming experts on their chosen community helper. 

 

After weeks of FINDING OUT from different resources and learning about the community and the people in the community, they are now using these knowledge to write an Informative Book. 

 

They have identified what a writer and illustrator's jobs are.
They were very fortunate that Jess (Mia's mom) came and shared with them her roles and responsibilities as a writer. 

They are now inspired and are ready to take on the role of a writer and an illustrator. 


Also, Joshua Lim (Isaac's dad) came and shared with the Preschoolers his job, roles and responsibilities as a Project Manager for Caterpillar Inc. The company that manufactures, markets and sells machinery and engines. 


They asked a lot of good questions and learned that people from different organisations need to help and work together to make things run smoothly. 


NUMERACY STATIONS
The preschoolers continue to develop their number sense, conceptual understanding and fluency in addition and subtraction. 


They used a number line as a visual tool to find the sum and difference. 


 


They also continue to develop their accuracy and fluency in counting and ordering numbers from least to greatest and vice versa.


Preschoolers love working with everyone! 
Paired or group works help them become more principled, thinkers and caring towards the needs and differences of each other.

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...

Meet the Animals

Students have been actively engaged in preparing for our upcoming Animal Exhibit, showcasing their learning through research, creativity, and collaboration. Each student selected an animal of interest, explored its habitat, diet, and unique adaptations, and created a visual display to share their findings. This week the preschoolers worked in teams to group animals according to their natural habitats—such as grassland, fresh water, polar region, ocean, and forest.  Together, they collaborated to research the features and designed a small-scale habitat that reflect the unique features of each ecosystem. This group project fostered teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity as students and teachers combined their knowledge and ideas to create cohesive, informative, and visually engaging designs.  The final displays beautifully showcase both the diversity of animal life and the power of collaboration. As part of the preparation, preschoolers will practice presentation skills and t...
