Our Field Trip Story

Our field trip to Rokkosan Pasture yesterday provided the students an authentic hands-on experiential learning. It enabled the preschoolers to connect with whatever we are learning in the classroom to the real-world context.

We took the Red Bus and traveled the road for almost 40 minutes to get to the place were we can see some farm animals roaming freely in their habitat.

It was a lovely day and we were all excited to start our trip around the place.

We got a map to make sure that we know where we were heading.

The students and parents were surprised to see this giant 'mommy' cow!

So we visited the baby cows and fed them milk from the bottles.

It was sad that they were separated from their mommies and it seemed like they were so hungry! The preschoolers took turns and fed them bottles of freshly collected milk.

The milk smelled delicious.

The students also saw some guinea pigs resting.

They observed some friendly goats inside inside the fence.

At first the preschoolers were nervous.

But because they are risk-takers, they tried extending their hand and eventually enjoyed the time feeding them.

We also said 'hello' and spent a bit time petting the sheep dog.

Ofcourse, the lost sheep found its friends and enjoyed the attention from preschoolers.

It was a long walk and the we needed our rest time!

We ended the trip visiting this girl's chosen animal - rabbits!

The skin, oops no - not skin!

The FUR of the rabbits, according to the preschoolers are very soft and nice to touch.

But the rabbits, didn't like loud noises that's why some of them got a little bit scared and hid inside the rabbit holes.

One of the preschoolers enjoyed feeding her chosen animal - horse with carrots!

It was a long and tiring day!

But the preschoolers went back to school happy and filled with knowledge, experiences and memories they will take with them being life-long learners.

How The World Works

PRESCHOOL ASSEMBLY What a beautiful way to end our unit on celebration, to start a new unit on growth, and to connect it to our unit on imagination. As we begin our new unit on how the world works, the preschool students went around the school premises to list down living things that they saw around them. As their curiosity kicked in they got so excited and started thinking exactly what living things are. At first, some characteristics they mentioned about living things were: move eat drink grow drive cars talk take a bath more But what really is the difference between living and non-living things? Back in the classroom, we revisited their list and narrowed down the characteristics of living things into these important traits: they eat and drink (food and water) they grow or change they reproduce (make new living things) They agreed that even if something is moving (like robots or cars) it doesn't mean that they are living things. Trees do not move but they eat, ...

Our Country

Know your country. Appreciate your culture. It is important to know your country's culture to also understand who you are. As young researchers, the preschoolers looked for information and facts about their country. They looked at the flag and what it signifies, the population, the capital, food, and popular places. This activity helps them develop cultural awareness which is important as they begin to understand that they came from different backgrounds. Learning about their differences creates a sense of appreciation and respect with people different from them. "We are better at football!" "Our food is better!" But, it is not a competition of which country is better in football, bigger in size, or which hair color looks better. It is knowing that they are all here together to celebrate everyone's similarities and differences. As they become knowledgeable about the bigger picture of their own culture, they also learn to relate better to one an...

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...
