Voice, Choice, Ownership

 


SORTING OUT
.... using students preferred ways of learning to demonstrate their knowledge, skills and values.

The Preschoolers have learned a lot about themselves and the different kinds of relationships during the Finding Out Stage in the unit on 'Who We Are'. 

This week, the Preschoolers started organising and putting all the information together. Using a four circle diagram, they compared the different relationships and personalities involved to maintain good relationships with others. 


They collaborated and shared ideas with each other.


They have also put together all information about themselves based on their own and other people's perspectives. Through the self-portrait, they will be able to share information about themselves to other people. 




 


This week, Preschoolers revisited their wonderings and answered the questions through a Role Play.




Next week, the Preschoolers will continue working on their 'Who We Are' mini-exhibition for January.

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...
