Here comes the sun!

Here comes the sun,

and I say,

It's all right...

sun, sun, sun, here we come!

What is the best way to start Tuning In for our unit?

Well, none other than going out for a walk to enjoy and see the lovely sakura trees!!

We had our beautiful morning walk at Rokko Island and we were greeted by these blossoming sakura flowers around us.

We played our favorite 'I spy' game focusing on the different things we saw, heard and felt during our walk.

While walking, passers-by couldn't help but laugh as they hear the contagious laughter of the Preschooler's as we explored the beautiful surroundings around our school.

Back in school, we talked about the different things we saw during our morning walk. They worked with their group and together they wrote/drew the things they have seen.

Then, as a class we have sorted the groups into Living and Non Living Things.

They have defined living things as:

.. things that grow

.. they move

.. they need air

.. they need water

.. they need food

.. they think

.. they have emotions

.. they multiply to become many

.. they die

Non living things as:

.. things made by people

.. they don't need air, water or food

.. people make them move

.. they need gas, petrol, or battery

They all agreed that sun is important to everyone's life.

We cannot survive without it.

The sun made the sakura trees produce beautiful flowers!

In the class, they also enjoyed painting a sakura tree using pointillism style.

Beautiful artworks!

Of course, our walk wouldn't be complete without the preschoolers photo under the bright blue sky and a beautiful sakura tree!

First Week in Preschool

The preschoolers started the school year with the Enrolment Party. The students together with their parents come to school all dressed-up and ready to attend their frist day in Primary School. They were entertained by the frist graders who did the short play about the School cone. Afterwhich, they received their school cone from the teacher. Together, the new preschoolers and Ms. Faye went to the vist their classroom and enjoyed their first read-a-loud! They did their first day of school work! I WONDER..... Since the start of the all inquiry is asking questions, we started the unit on 'How we organize ourselves' with a lot of provocations. Through these provocations, the preschoolers started forming questions and we gathered them and added in our wonder wall. "Why do policeman and fire fighters and ambulance work together eventhough they have their orn jobs? " "Why do kids have to go to school? " " Why do paople make books? " " As good ...

Our Family

Community is a place where people live together. Our Family Our School Our Community The preschoolers identified themselves as an important member or these groups. Roles are parts that everyone play. We have the Superheroes like Batman, Spiderman and other characters in movies. But what are the things that they do? Those are their responsibilities. Just like us, we all have our responsibilities. The Family Family is the smallest group in a community. Some families are big. Some families are small. But they live together in the same house and do things together and take care of each other. Using their puppets the preschoolers imagined and created a story of things that they did as a family. They had so much fun presenting in the class, changing their voices creating background sounds and simply telling their stories! We also played the Yes, No, Maybe corners where the students decided if they agreed or disagreed with the questions given to them about ...

Growth

This week we continue inquiring about our personal histories. How much have we changed from when we were born to present. We posted the baby photos of all the preschoolers side by side with their current photos. The students and teachers at school will guess, using the photos and looking for similarities who the preschoolers are. We will then use these experiment to find out more about the concept of 'change' and 'development' in our unit. We have also started collecting the pot flower that show the different milestones we have accomplished growing up. They will talk about their personal stories to all the students in class. We identified land and water forms and they realized that the water area is so much bigger than the land area! As part of their history, we also have looked at the map and located the country they were born. From this, we looked at the bigger land area which is the continents that make up the land forms. We identified ...
