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.

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...

Field Trip

FIELD TRIP Children who experience a holistic development during their younger school years grow up to become global citizens. Taking the students out of the classroom is important because it provides a balance between indoor and outdoor activities. It prepares them for what it is like in the real world. As part of our unit on How The World Works which focuses on the science of living things, the preschoolers went out on a field trip to Rokkosan Pasture. In here, the students were immersed and had access to a different environment, the farm habitat together with the animals who live there. They experienced interactive learning by feeding and getting up close with these friendly and hungry goats. They observed how the animals shared space and played inside their homes. They were able to make connections on how they, as preschoolers socially interact with one another inside the classroom. The parents who joined the trip also became the teachers a...
