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!

Field Trip

FIELD TRIP Children who experience a holistic development during their younger school years grow up to become global citizens.  Taking the students out of the classroom  is important because it provides a balance between indoor and outdoor activities. It prepares them for what it is like in the real world.  As part of our unit on How The World Works which focuses on the science of living things, the preschoolers went out on a field trip to Rokkosan Pasture. In here, the students were immersed and had access to a different environment,  the farm habitat together with the animals who live there.  They experienced interactive learning by feeding and getting up close with these friendly and hungry goats. They observed how the animals shared space and played inside their homes. They were able to make connections on how they, as preschoolers socially interact with one another inside the classroom.   The parents who joined the trip also became the teachers a...
