Where We are in Place in Time - New Unit of Inquiry We have begun inquiring into journeys. We read the story of Flat Stanley and watched some videos of his adventures. We also started creating our 'pretend big bus' as part of our dramatic play. The children had fun painting the cardboard boxes and they helped carry plastic chairs needed for the bus. As part of the provocation, the students were asked to describe their journey to school, how they travel and what they see on the way. Central idea Journeys can take us near and far. Lines of inquiry:
Pebble Breathing In our mindfulness practice this term we have focused on Pebble Breathing. We listen to a song and as we look at a flower pebble, we imagine being ‘soft as a flower’. Then we change our pebbles for a mountain pebble and imagine being ‘firm as a mountain’. https://youtu.be/uhaS1thwsPA Literacy
Learning letters and sounds through arts and crafts, cooking and hands-on activities. We made some cool dinosaur hats and cooked dinosaur eggs. We boiled the eggs, cracked a little bit and soaked it into the water with food colouring.

UWCT & Thanyapura Christmas Fair Preparation The students had a busy week making Christmas decorations for the Christmas trees and they spent time practising for their performance. We were so proud of our Preschool students performing on stage with a huge crowd! Thank you all for your support with the Christmas Fair. Class Activities and Play The students explored letter sound of the week 'Mm'. They did marble painting, meal crafts, and baking muffins! Through these activities, they develop creativity, they learn to take turns and share materials as well as develop their fine motor skills. Gabriel's 5th Birthday Thanks for celebrating with us your 5th birthday! Reading with Grade 3 Buddies
Preschool students were very engaged when their Grade 3 buddies came to read with them. They looked for their own space to read and enjoyed each other's company. |
