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.

Night of the Student Led Conference

Preschoolers practice for their upcoming Student Led Conference (SLC) by engaging in mock sessions with peers and teachers.

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...

Meet the Animals

Students have been actively engaged in preparing for our upcoming Animal Exhibit, showcasing their learning through research, creativity, and collaboration. Each student selected an animal of interest, explored its habitat, diet, and unique adaptations, and created a visual display to share their findings. This week the preschoolers worked in teams to group animals according to their natural habitats—such as grassland, fresh water, polar region, ocean, and forest.  Together, they collaborated to research the features and designed a small-scale habitat that reflect the unique features of each ecosystem. This group project fostered teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity as students and teachers combined their knowledge and ideas to create cohesive, informative, and visually engaging designs.  The final displays beautifully showcase both the diversity of animal life and the power of collaboration. As part of the preparation, preschoolers will practice presentation skills and t...
