Relationship with Yourself and Others

What are the different kinds of relationships?

The preschoolers sorted out pictures according to similarities, connections, and relationships. Together we identified 4 kinds of relationships.

1. Romantic Relationship

2. Family Relationship

3. Friends

4. Acquaintances

Do I know my own feelings?

Children should develop skills in understanding their own emotions and knowing how to react to certain situations. This emotional awareness is important for them to better know and understand themselves, their personalities and characteristics and how these affect their relationships with others.

Using the Emoji Compass Activity, the preschoolers were presented with a scenario and decided on which emojis to go: happy, angry, sad, worried or calm. They were encouraged to think for themselves and identify their own feelings as if they are in that situation.

Sample Scenario:

"You are playing a game that you really like and you lost. How would you feel?"

Responses:

Angry: "Because I always like to win"

Sad: "Because I do not want to lose."

Calm: "We don't always win, we sometimes lose too."

We sat together after and they shared their thoughts.

They realised that...

"Knowing our feelings and the feelings of others avoid us from getting in trouble".

"If we know other people's feelings, what they like and what they don't like then we will be able to do something about it."

Here's a treat for everyone!

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...

A Day with Nature

From the moment we arrived at Rokkosan Pasteur, excitement was in the air. The weather was perfect, the animals were curious, and of course the preschoolers couldn’t wait to explore! The highlight of the day? Meeting the kids —not the classmates, but the adorable baby goats! The students were able to feed, pet, and even cuddle the goats, horses, sheep . They were gentle and playful. Some preschoolers were a bit hesitant at first, but by the end of the visit, everyone was laughing and eagerly reaching out to connect with the animals. But this trip was about more than just the fun experience. The goal is to extend their learning about animal care, natural habitat, and the effect of human to other iving things. These experiences and observing how animals interact in a natural environment were learning in its most genuine form—engaging, memorable, and will have a long-lasting impact on their lives. As the day came to an end, tired but happy p...
