Communicators


This week was full of exciting activities at school!

We were lucky to meet the EXPO 2025 mascot 'Myaku Myaku' and had a photo with it. 


In preparation for their presentation on Monday, the students shared their works with the Grade 1 students. They explained their work process and what they have learned in the unit 


Some of them were nervous and shy, but all have been risk-takers! 


They confidently talked and proudly showed their communication skill by speaking in front of the audience. 


They were also asked questions by the Grade 1 students, which helped them a lot with their presentation skills. 


We are excited to see you all on Monday from 9:00 - 10:00  as they will finally share their culture and everything they have worked for in the unit on "Who We Are".


 

As part of the celebration on International Book Week, the whole school had the D.E.A.R. (Drop Everything and Read) time. 


Our young readers took time as they browsed and read the books they brought from home. 


What a feast to see how they have changed and developed as learners in preschool.

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...

Understanding Culture

  What is CULTURE?  This week, we have broken down the different aspects of culture.  COUNTRY Firstly, we identified the country they are from.   They were tested on their knowledge of their flag. It was amazing to know that a lot of them know what their flags look like.    The color, symbols, and shapes that go with it.  We will continue to inquire by also understanding the features that the flag represent. The colors, symbols, the shapes. For our transdisciplinary connection in math, preschoolers will go around the school to conduct a survey. We will find out information about the people at DSKI and how these affect our school's culture. With their partner, they thought of different questions that they would like to ask their respondents.  They will survey the following questions: Where (country) are you from?  What celebration is important for you and your family? What is the traditional food in your country? What clothes do you like ...
