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 app to represent it.

They they uploaded their works on seesaw.

And this year, all the Lower Primary students are collaborating to create a video presentation in connection to the unit on How we express ourselves.

Students from Preschool, Grade 1 and Grade 2 were grouped and they are working on one presentation.

The story was written by the Preschoolers based on their unit on Imagination.

Grade 2 will create the props and and the settings from their unit on Visual arts.

While the Grade 1 students will work on the lights and sound effects based on their unit on Lights and Sounds.

It is a wonderful opportunity to see how all the students in the Lower Primary can work and lead their learning together.

We will see the output before the end of the school year!

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...

Have an amazing summer break to all!

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...
