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.

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?

100th Day

  100th Day of School Why do we celebrate The 100th Day of School?  As the Enrollment Party at the beginning of the school year, 100th day of school is considered a big celebration and has been a tradition in Preschool.  This marks a great milestone in the children's school life.  It means that the students are halfway through the year! It is a celebration wherein they can highlight their progress and show how much they have learned through the year.   For Numeracy, they showed their skills in:  skip counting identifying numbers 1 -100 counting on to 100 pattern blocks For Literacy, they made a short story.   We also made our 100 Days Smarter hat.  We did not forget the movement part wherein we did, 10 different kinds of exercises   10 times each.  Can you guess the total?  Then the fun part of filling in the 100 chart with 100 collections they brought to school! Tamaki's 100 beans. Eisuke's 100 collections of gems, pencil...

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...
