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.

Changes

"Why are all people different?" -Tamaki- I think that this is one of the most difficult question a child can ask. Even I couldn't find the correct or the exact answers to this. However, 'Guess the Baby' experiment shows that we, somehow all look alike at some stage in our lives - when we are babies. We looked at the strip of papers and the names written. We found out that a lot of the guesses where wrong and mixed up. We asked some teachers and students and they had a difficult time guessing the babies. "They all look alike!" was the common response that we heard. But, if we look closely and pay attention, we can see that, the same baby is still there. So today, we have revealed the names of the babies! Look at their photos... THEN and NOW Tamaki "The shape of the face looks the same." Ciel Not one person guessed Ciel. Well, Ciel didn't even recognize his own photo! Koh "He still looks the same." Daisy "Her smile and

ENERGY IN PRESCHOOL

FOOD CHAIN An order in which living things depend on each other for food. We have identified food as one of the things living things need to live. This is the same for both plants and animals. However, we are not as lucky as the plants - they can make their own food! The sun helps them make food through the process called ' photosynthesis'. And because of this special power, plants are called producers. They start the food chain and transfer energy to the consumers. We have learned about the different animal groups and the preschool used their knowledge to create their food chain. They chose one animal and using their knowledge about animals, they showed how animal get their food. Next week, we will continue with our inquiry answering the question: How do animals go through a process of change?

DEFINING HISTORY

Personal History "Making your own story" - Perky Preschool - SEE THINK WONDER As a provocation for our new unit on "personal histories allow us to reflect on and celebrate growth and change", we did a ' See Think Wonder' Thinking Routine activity. In groups, the students looked at photos related to the unit and wrote down things that they see, what they thought and wonderings that they may have. This thinking routine was then used as a springboard to unlock our unit vocabulary words such as: personal, history, events, and change. TIMELINE The students also completed a simple timeline that shows the past, present and future. As we inquire further in the unit, they will be able to gain more detailed knowledge about their personal history. NUMERACY / LITERACY This week we also started with our math and reading stations. During the different station activities, each group will get a chance to explore different concepts and activities that will help strengt
