Highlights of the Week

Wearing red clothes, looking at different decorations and finding out that this Chinese New Year is the year of the Tiger, are all of the wonderful things the PN students learnt about this week. They listened to fascinating stories and danced to lion dance music that gave them a better understanding of this special festival. For English, the children learnt about the letter F and the letter S. For the letter S, the children got to show their teachers all the things they can find at home that starts with S. Some of the PN students were able to show their sunglasses during class and had a good laugh about it. For Math, it was a review of all the shapes they learnt from first term. The children learnt how there are many things around them that look like circles, triangles, rectangles and squares. It was truly another week of fun zoom classes for the children.

It was the second week of Zoom classes for our K1 students, and they have been doing well exploring new topics and reviewing everything they have learnt. We have said goodbye to the topic ‘My House’ in our Cambridge lessons and have moved on to explore ‘Farm Animals’. All our K1 students were very keen on using their great listening skills to guess which farm animal is making specific sounds. They also loved talking which animals they liked. Our K1 children’s sound knowledge in Phonics continues to grow as they move on to learn two more sounds this week with /g/ and /h/. They explored these through stories and had a good time, sharing things they could find at home that starts with those sounds. Our students’ counting skills have been put to the test in Math as we shopped for fruits at our very own virtual supermarket. They used their number knowledge well to help get everything on our shopping list and used their colour knowledge to help a friendly polar bear move into his new home. It was all about Chinese New Year with Critical Thinking this week as our students explored which animals are in the Zodiac and what we can do to celebrate! We hope you have a wonderful break, and we can’t wait to see you again next term!

This week we are talking about the significant festival which is happening next week, Chinese New Year! All the students have learned a lot about this festival already and they all wanted to show and share their previous experiences of Chinese New Year with their classmates. On Zoom, they also learnt about the different animals that are associated with each year through stories and songs. We wish everyone a happy Chinese New Year and good health in the year of the Tiger!

The K3 students have been doing very well adapting to the Zoom lessons while continuing to have great and positive attitudes. Show and Tell is a big hit and they love showing things from around their home. This week, we continued to learn about measurement in centimeters for math. We discussed the different words to use when measuring for height versus length. Encourage your child to measure items and toys around your home with a ruler and talk about the difference in length or height. We have also been practicing math equations that have both addition and subtraction. For Critical Thinking, we started to learn about Chinese New Year and the different traditions and food eaten during this holiday. With the year of the Tiger being our inspiration, we did some arts and crafts and made tigers as a class. We hope you have a wonderful and safe holiday over the next two weeks. Have a Happy New Year! Gong Hei Fat Choy!
