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!

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 ...
