Risk Takers


The best way to understand something is to experience it.

Preschool Police for a day was one fun and exciting experience they had in this unit. The whole school were informed that Preschool will help to make the school safe for everyone. 


They did not disappoint. 

During outside play, they reminded some students to play fair and be careful not to hurt other students.

They also helped out the teachers return the toys inside the boxes after play. 

One brave preschool police even called out an older
student that was caught standing on the table! 

“That is not allowed and safe. You might get hurt.” - Haruto 

Little Teachers 

They taught a simple skill  to G5/6 students and teachers to experience being a teacher for a day. 


Like teachers, Haruto showed the students how we tell the days using the calendar. He also explained the importance of knowing the schedule for the day to help you become organized. 


Emma taught them how Number Bonds or ‘sticky numbers work’.


As a teacher, Umi taught her students the proper way of coloring. Making sure that they color inside the line, one way and color all the white spaces. 


Clara, taught German language to other students. 


Ofcourse, the Jollyphonics reading program was a fun teaching tool!



Yui, taught how to draw a beautiful rabbit.


Finally, Mei showed her skill in dancing and took time to teach the other how to dance the 'Waka Waka'


They also continued researching about their chosen community helpers. They worked hard and proved how responsible they are in managing their time to finish the informative book they are writing. 


Looking forward to sharing with you all the fruit of their hard work soon!

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 ...

A week of celebration

This was a week of celebration.  We were able to watch the students performed their best during the Winter Concert at the MPR.  They danced and sang the Christmas Songs with confidence and pride.  At our Christmas Market, the preschoolers did their assigned responsibilities attentively.  They sat at the table and encouraged everyone to have their pictures taken at our *Perky Picture Perfect* booth.      A reason why ALL the preschoolers were on the nice list and got their presents from Santa!                Big smiles with Santa after receiving their presents. and we are all ready for our Christmas Break!  Enjoy our video,  A celebration of growth and change!   

How The World Works

PRESCHOOL ASSEMBLY What a beautiful way to end our unit on celebration, to start a new unit on growth, and to connect it to our unit on imagination. As we begin our new unit on how the world works, the preschool students went around the school premises to list down living things that they saw around them.  As their curiosity kicked in they got so excited and started thinking exactly what living things are.  At first, some characteristics they mentioned about living things were: move  eat drink grow drive cars talk take a bath more But what really is the difference between living and non-living things?  Back in the classroom, we revisited their list and narrowed down the characteristics of living things into these important traits: they eat and drink (food and water) they grow or change they reproduce (make new living things) They agreed that even if something is moving (like robots or cars) it doesn't mean that they are living things. Trees do not move but they eat, ...
