Never Stop Wondering and Asking Questions

I Wonder...

The provocations in our Tuning In activities reinforced the preschoolers' interest and curiosity. Now, they are starting to FIND OUT how 'Our Relationships with other build our character and personalities'.

An important key to engage them in this challenging journey is by allowing them to take the lead in their inquiry. One way is by giving them the opportunity to share their voices - through their wonderings.

So, they asked questions...

I wonder....

Why do we like others?
Why do people like to cook and eat?
Why are some people happy even things go wrong?
Why do people hurt others even it is a 'NO'?
Why do people get mad easily?
Why do people give things to poor people?
Why do people ignore or not look at other people sometimes?
Why do people wish to be something else?

These questions will guide the inquiry of the preschoolers as they discover more about who they are and their relationships with others.

Discovering Myself

...from different perspectives

"Personality may be what I really am and what others see or think about me. It is something that makes me different from others. What other people think about me may be true or not true because some people have the same thinking and other people think of different things about me. My personality can change."

Relationship

"Relationship is being connected to each other. It is hanging out together and being in a group with friends. It is spending time and communicating with each other."

- Perky Preschool 2021 -

The preschoolers worked with a partner and together they discovered many things about each other. They realised that some things and interests are the same and some are different.

Working Together

TAKING ACTION The students are keeping in mind the importance of plants to all living things. Plants - being the ONLY one that can make its own food, and Plants - being the ONLY one that gives us the air or oxygen to live. We have to do something to preserve the plants! They started bringing all sorts of seeds to plant at school. To watermelon seeds, onion stalks, flowers, grapes.. They chose a spot where the plants can get sunshine. They dug the soil. Put in the seeds. And watered them. They did everything that the plants need in order to grow. Students will take turns watering the plants daily. Hopefully these tiny seeds will show us some sprouts before the end of the school year in Preschool. HOW WE EXPRESS OURSELVES For the unit on How we express ourselves, the preschoolers used their imagination to create different art work on the ipad. They chose their own subject and used the different tools on the drawing...

Our Family

Community is a place where people live together. Our Family Our School Our Community The preschoolers identified themselves as an important member or these groups. Roles are parts that everyone play. We have the Superheroes like Batman, Spiderman and other characters in movies. But what are the things that they do? Those are their responsibilities. Just like us, we all have our responsibilities. The Family Family is the smallest group in a community. Some families are big. Some families are small. But they live together in the same house and do things together and take care of each other. Using their puppets the preschoolers imagined and created a story of things that they did as a family. They had so much fun presenting in the class, changing their voices creating background sounds and simply telling their stories! We also played the Yes, No, Maybe corners where the students decided if they agreed or disagreed with the questions given to them about ...
