Highlights of the Week

This week, PN students got to be more familiarized with their things in their home surroundings as they learned new vocabulary, such as building, street and window. In this week’s theme, students learned about other community helpers such as doctor and nurse. We also went over the letter ‘E’ and its sound and vocabulary associated with it such as ‘egg’, ‘elephant’ and ‘elbow’. For Math, we focused on the number 10 and learned to count to ten with different objects. Everyone had lots of fun counting with the rubber duckies!

It’s been a fantastic week at school as we reviewed and did some revision on our concepts. For Math, we compared objects in groups by looking at which group has more or less. We also did some counting up to number 18 and revised all of our numbers. The children are pretty fast learners as they can do it quickly and spontaneously. We also reviewed how to write from numbers 1 to 5 independently and they were all superb! For Cambridge, we reviewed our transportation vocabulary such as bus, train, scooter, bike etc. and also reviewed where we can spot these transports. Our K1 children were super proud that they remembered all of them! J For Critical Thinking, we reviewed our colours such as pink, yellow, orange, green and red! We look forward to continuing the fun next week.

What another week of fun learning in K2! This week in Math, we expanded our counting skills by learning to count in 5s. We applied our new counting skills in Physical Play by grouping ourselves in groups of 5 and count out loud. We also learned to count in 5s by using bean bags. In Critical Thinking we learned about another sea creature, the octopus! Did you know that octopuses have no bones? We learned about how octopuses protect themselves in the ocean from other sea animals. We also did a worksheet on what kind of sea animals we’d like to be and why we chose those animals. We presented our work in front of the class and did some sharing. What an amazing week!

This week has been challenging but fun! We challenged ourselves to subtract double digits and we kept on practicing until we got the hang of it. Practice makes perfect! We are already at the end fractions and it was such an exciting experience. What a way to end it by learning quarters of a fraction. We dove back to the ocean and help the animals who are facing different threats that are damaging their homes. Oh no! We learned that we should clean up our trash and take good care of the ocean because it is important to us. We also crafted this polluted fish to help us be mindful of our oceans and how much the animals are in danger. This week’s Critical Thinking has given us a great understanding of our oceans and how we should take good care of it. You can talk more about it with them to see how much they have understood. Have a nice weekend everyone!
