Happy Birthday Liam! Liam turned 4 and we celebrated with some yummy pirate cupcakes! Thank you to Liam's mum and dad and sister Stella for sharing some photos of Liam growing up and celebrating with us. UWC DayPreschool O joined with Kindergarten L to move around the various activities together. They started off by talking about 5 things that were special about themselves, and then drawing around each others hands and writing their special things in each finger. Then they sung some songs with Kru Jessica. These were recorded and will be shared to the retirement home that some secondary students visit each week. The children also made muffins, cards, a plant pot and planted seeds to give to the old people. They had a fun day and learnt through these fun activities about the UWC commitment to service and helping others. Our letter sound of the week - Ii This week we practiced writing 'i's on the whiteboard, we used our fine motor skills to thread around a capital i, we made insect collages, ice blocks/icy pops and froze some ocean animals in water. Then we had great fun trying to get the animals out of the ice! We are the Preschool Orchids! Using our data collecting skills, we had a class vote to choose what living thing we would like for our class name. We could choose from Octopus, Ostrich, Orangutan, Oryx, Oak tree, Otter, Orchid or Owl. We agreed to choose the name which had the most votes. It was very close, but, with 4 votes, orchid was the favourite. Today (Monday), Kru Zone, the primary school art teacher, came to help us make an artwork of an orchid. We helped draw the outline and then paint it. We also painted our own small orchids too. What beautiful orchids! ECC Family Picnic and International Cuisine Day What a wonderful morning we shared on Friday, trying many different dishes. Thank you for coming along and sharing your culture with us!
