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.

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...

Meet the Animals

Students have been actively engaged in preparing for our upcoming Animal Exhibit, showcasing their learning through research, creativity, and collaboration. Each student selected an animal of interest, explored its habitat, diet, and unique adaptations, and created a visual display to share their findings. This week the preschoolers worked in teams to group animals according to their natural habitats—such as grassland, fresh water, polar region, ocean, and forest. Together, they collaborated to research the features and designed a small-scale habitat that reflect the unique features of each ecosystem. This group project fostered teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity as students and teachers combined their knowledge and ideas to create cohesive, informative, and visually engaging designs. The final displays beautifully showcase both the diversity of animal life and the power of collaboration. As part of the preparation, preschoolers will practice presentation skills and t...
