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.

Growth

This week we continue inquiring about our personal histories. How much have we changed from when we were born to present. We posted the baby photos of all the preschoolers side by side with their current photos. The students and teachers at school will guess, using the photos and looking for similarities who the preschoolers are. We will then use these experiment to find out more about the concept of 'change' and 'development' in our unit. We have also started collecting the pot flower that show the different milestones we have accomplished growing up. They will talk about their personal stories to all the students in class. We identified land and water forms and they realized that the water area is so much bigger than the land area! As part of their history, we also have looked at the map and located the country they were born. From this, we looked at the bigger land area which is the continents that make up the land forms. We identified ...

A week of celebration

This was a week of celebration. We were able to watch the students performed their best during the Winter Concert at the MPR. They danced and sang the Christmas Songs with confidence and pride. At our Christmas Market, the preschoolers did their assigned responsibilities attentively. They sat at the table and encouraged everyone to have their pictures taken at our *Perky Picture Perfect* booth. A reason why ALL the preschoolers were on the nice list and got their presents from Santa! Big smiles with Santa after receiving their presents. and we are all ready for our Christmas Break! Enjoy our video, A celebration of growth and change!

How The World Works

PRESCHOOL ASSEMBLY What a beautiful way to end our unit on celebration, to start a new unit on growth, and to connect it to our unit on imagination. As we begin our new unit on how the world works, the preschool students went around the school premises to list down living things that they saw around them. As their curiosity kicked in they got so excited and started thinking exactly what living things are. At first, some characteristics they mentioned about living things were: move eat drink grow drive cars talk take a bath more But what really is the difference between living and non-living things? Back in the classroom, we revisited their list and narrowed down the characteristics of living things into these important traits: they eat and drink (food and water) they grow or change they reproduce (make new living things) They agreed that even if something is moving (like robots or cars) it doesn't mean that they are living things. Trees do not move but they eat, ...
