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!

ENERGY IN PRESCHOOL

  FOOD CHAIN An order in which living things depend on each other for food. We have identified food as one of the things living things need to live.  This is the same for both plants and animals. However, we are not as lucky as the plants - they can make their own food!  The sun helps them make food through the process called ' photosynthesis'.   And because of this special power, plants are called producers. They start the food chain and transfer energy to the consumers. We have learned about the different animal groups and the preschool used their knowledge to create their food chain.    They chose one animal and using their knowledge about animals, they showed how animal get their food.  Next week, we will continue with our inquiry answering the question: How do animals go through a process of change?

100th Day

  100th Day of School Why do we celebrate The 100th Day of School?  As the Enrollment Party at the beginning of the school year, 100th day of school is considered a big celebration and has been a tradition in Preschool.  This marks a great milestone in the children's school life.  It means that the students are halfway through the year! It is a celebration wherein they can highlight their progress and show how much they have learned through the year.   For Numeracy, they showed their skills in:  skip counting identifying numbers 1 -100 counting on to 100 pattern blocks For Literacy, they made a short story.   We also made our 100 Days Smarter hat.  We did not forget the movement part wherein we did, 10 different kinds of exercises   10 times each.  Can you guess the total?  Then the fun part of filling in the 100 chart with 100 collections they brought to school!

Working Together

TAKING ACTION The students are keeping in mind the importance of plants to all living things.  Plants - being the ONLY one that can make its own food, and Plants - being the ONLY one that gives us the air or oxygen to live. We have to do something to preserve the plants!   They started bringing all sorts of seeds to plant at school.  To watermelon seeds, onion stalks, flowers, grapes..  They chose a spot where the plants can get sunshine.  They dug the soil. Put in the seeds. And watered them. They did everything that the plants need in order to grow.    Students will take turns watering the plants daily.  Hopefully these tiny seeds will show us some sprouts before the end of the school year in Preschool.    HOW WE EXPRESS OURSELVES For the unit on How we express ourselves, the preschoolers used their imagination to create different art work on the ipad.  They chose their own  subject and used the different tools on the drawing...
