The First Week


"Please excuse the mess, 
Preschoolers are learning... "

This week marks the start of these fives and sixes in Preschool! 


We started the week with the Enrolment Party, wherein we celebrated the German tradition of  giving the school cone or the 'schultute'.
This is to encourage the young learners about the long academic road ahead.

Unit of Inquiry  

In line with our unit on How we organize ourselves, the preschoolers chose class jobs that they will do to make our preschool classroom run smoothly. 


They created a poster with a symbol to represent their job in the class. 


 

 

We also sat down together and created our Perky Preschool Promise. 
An agreement that we hold close to our hearts and promise to do throughout the school year. 


Literacy
We are proud to say that this week, we have already read 8 books! 
We have also started with the Jollyphonics and they have already put sounds together of 'a' and 's'. 


What an amazing sight to see that the preschoolers have been enjoying reading time!



Numeracy
We have also started with our numeracy lessons and they have been so excited to open their new math books and answer the first few pages.


What a wonderful first week it has been with the Perky Preschoolers! 


I can't wait to share more stories and experiences with this wonderful class!

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...

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...
