I Wonder... The provocations in our Tuning In activities reinforced the preschoolers' interest and curiosity.  Now, they are starting to FIND OUT how 'Our Relationships with other build our character and personalities'.  An important key to engage them in this challenging journey is by allowing them to take the lead in their inquiry. One way is by giving them the opportunity to share their voices - through their wonderings. So, they asked questions... .   I wonder.... Why do we like others? Why do people like to cook and eat? Why are some people happy even things go wrong? Why do people hurt others even it is a 'NO'? Why do people get mad easily? Why do people give things to poor people? Why do people ignore or not look at other people sometimes? Why do people wish to be something else? These questions will guide the  inquiry of the preschoolers as they discover more about who they are and their relationships with others. Discovering Myself ...from different pe...

This week, preschoolers ended the unit 'Who we are'. They have created posters with positive message to raise awareness about good choices.  'When you make good choices, you will be happy." Anton "If you give you give up, you will be sad." Amalia "Pushing makes people sad." Haruka   "Making good choices make people kind." Tsubasa "Use your brain to think." Lilli   " I will not give up!" Timo  "To solove a problem, go to another games, talk it out, share and try again, ignore it, walk away." Keigo   "We can never do things if we give up." Evah "Every problem has a solution." Shun " I like to make good choices." Maelle They went around the school and shared their message in the poster and answered some questions.     The preschoolers also planned and prepared their lunch. They realised that their choices have changed and now choose healthier food.              Let us continue making...

UNIT OF INQUIRY  Who We Are Choices As preschoolers continue to inquire about the unit, they ask people around to FIND OUT the answers to their wonderings. Questions they asked are as follows: What is a PROBLEM? What are CONSEQUENCES? Why do we need to make good choices? Why do people make poor choices? What will happen if we continue to do poor choices?       The responses were written here. Next week, the Perky Preschoolers will talk about the responses and will go deeper in their understanding of the value of choices in one's self. UNIT How do we express ourselves ARTS  (LINES and COLORS) How do we express ourselves through visual arts? Perky Preschoolers started exploring lines and colours through water color painting. Using the crayon resist technique, they express themselves and created beautiful and colourful designs.         Please see their finished art works to be posted on their SEESAW.
