Our colorful hands

We are all different.

But,

We are all amazing, colorful and beautiful

- Perky Preschool -

We looked at all the hands outside the preschool wall.

We wondered and shared words that inspired us from these hands.

'colorful, different, beautiful, helping, rainbow, unique, amazing, together...'

From the list of words, we came up with one idea,

'We are all different but we are all amazing, colorful and beautiful.'

It was an exercise that showed us that despite everyone's differences in opinions and beliefs we can come up with one similar idea that we can all celebrate.

Based on what the Preschoolers brainstormed about culture, we did a survey in the grade 1 class.

We asked about;

the country they are from,

languages they speak

important celebration,

popular food in their country,

hair color, and

eye color.

These information will be put together and be used to understand the culture of students in the Lower Primary.

The preschools also used the school ipads and learned how to take photos and editing.

This supported one of the ATLs - Social Skills.

They took turns and practiced compromising with each other.

They worked collaboratively with other students.

Together enjoyed the experience and build connection.

They will have more opportunities to share these collaborative time with one another as we continue to discover about everyone's cultures, beliefs and traditions.

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...

Entering the world of imagination

Children use imagination to write poems and create artworks in wonderfully instinctive and unfiltered ways. They are not constrained by thinking or grammar rules and truly believe simple things in life. This kind of imaginative freedom allows them to create words and images that we might not even consider. They use personal experience and reimagine things. They write freely without filter and mix real life with fantasy to create rich, expressive writing. They can use this form of writing to develop self-confidence and connections with themselves and others. In Artwork, they use their creative imagination to create symbolic representation that we, as adults, could never have imagined. Children represent the world how they feel it, not just how they see it. Their artworks become a portal to an entirely new worlds. In this unit on how we express ourselves, preschoolers will be encouraged to use: Open-ended materials (like...
