CULTURE WEEK


What a wonderful way to end our unit on "Understanding personal cultures, beliefs, and traditions, help us celebrate similarities and differences".


The preschoolers shared with their parents their exhibition regarding who they are. 
A way to show how they have developed their different ATL skills. 


Showcasing their COMMUNICATION SKILLS, these young learners tried their best to speak confidently in front of the parents and other students. 

 

They communicated the information they researched about. Made clear connections to themselves and their personal experiences. 


They also demonstrated their developing SOCIAL SKILLS through active listening as they engaged in positive interaction with the audience. 
They built rapport with the audience and other students. 


But what stood out the most was how each student showed their passion in learning about everyone's culture, beliefs, and traditions - or simply WHO THEY ARE.  


It wasn't only about themselves, but everyone in the class. This action clearly demonstrated that they have celebrated everyone else's similarities and differences. 


Consequently, they showed their increasing THINKING SKILLS through their pieces of work and answering the questions from the audience. 



This exhibition marked the first step to these young learners' many more successful inquiries as they developed themselves to become lifelong learners. 





MORE CELEBRATION!!


In our year-long unit on IMAGINATION, the students also prepared for their upcoming assembly after the break. 


They have been busily working with their costumes and practicing for the presentation. 


They worked collaboratively with other students to prepare for the assembly.


Mark your calendars on the 27th MARCH, Thursday Preschool Assembly!

PRESCHOOLERS and their FAMILIES

  The FAMILY TREE helps the Preschoolers understand the relationship of each members of their family. This representation helps them understand the roles of the mother, father, sister, brother, grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, and cousins play in their life history.  The Preschoolers continued to inquire about the personal histories of their family. They worked on their own Family Tree and have started SORTING OUT information that they have gathered from the interview with their parents, discussions and their own knowledge about the members of their family.          They have also made a visual representation of who lives in our home.  Before the Golden week, they did a series mapping exercise.  The place where they have lived or where they have travelled.

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...
