Brave Firefighters

 

If fire catches,

"Everyone run outside!
Firefighters go inside!"

The Firefighters! Truly one of the bravest community helpers.


Inspiring young preschoolers about the importance of doing a responsibility - an action that makes a difference. 
We are lucky that the Rokko Island Fire Station is just around the corner. The preschool students, teachers and some parent visited the station. They got to experience what firefighters do. 

 


They got in the fire truck ad saw the most interesting tools and equipments inside it. An axe, mask, goggles, cutters, gloves, tank, these are just few of  their (firefighters) favorite things!

 

They wore a special coat that protects the firefighters from getting burned by fire. The material was a bit thick, heavy and stiff. 

Oh but that is just what the firefighters need to be safe from fire!


They also wear a special hard hat to protect them from falling debris. The gloves are also thick and heat proof that they can stand holding hot objects for some time.


But, in a normal day, they also wear comfortable uniforms and boots. 

 

So now to answer the most important question:
 "How do firefighters stop or kill huge fire?" 

Answer....
Water! 

The strong water pressure from the hose connected to the fire truck container, or the fire hydrant is used to stop the spread of fire. 


"How do roles and responsibilities make the community run smoothly?"



The students understood that firefighters work closely with the paramedics. When there is a fire, paramedics will be called to make sure that injured people will get the immediate care. 


The ambulance is equipped with different machines that help monitor the patient.


What an amazing experience for the preschoolers to be able to see and talk to the firefighters and paramedics in Rokko Island community. 

As part of sorting out, they realized that it is better to work together to make jobs easier and faster! 



Reading Buddy

This week, the Upper Primary students shared their time to the Preschoolers and read a book to them. 



 




It was lovely to watch as bigger students acted as a good role model to the Preschoolers in reading. They patiently answered the questions and ofcourse asked them questions too. 

 




 

This collaborative activity is a step up to diversifying the 'teaching and learning' reading program at DSKI. 

 


Ms. Harris and I are looking forward to more collaborative activities between the Lower and Upper Primary students!

First Week in Preschool

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 ...
