Highlights of the Week

Our youngest learners had another fun week at school! It is their second book week, and the children enjoyed listening to stories and trying some role playing. They also loved creating new art work based on the stories they read. For English, the children learned about the sound /i/ and the words that begin it: ink, inside, instruments, insect, igloo, iguana. The children loved practicing their /i/ sound and playing the musical instruments. For Math, this week was about reviewing the concepts of big and small, empty and full, up and down. Have a wonderful weekend ahead and remember to wear sunscreen when playing outdoors!

Our K1 students have worked so hard learning and reinforcing their knowledge on all our Cambridge units throughout the year. In our last few weeks, we are going to look at some stories that encourage interesting discussions in class. This week we read the story of “The Ugly Duckling” and the students came up with the phrase “different is beautiful” which truly is a beautiful motto. We demonstrated this idea by designing our very own ducklings and talking about what makes them different and beautiful in their own way. The story also prompted discussions about inclusion and being kind to everyone. In Critical Thinking this week we spoke about packing for a holiday or staycation with our families. It was great to see that our students are good at sorting the things we should pack for a warm versus cold vacation. Math was lots of fun this week as we used our drawing skills and our favourite classroom toys to learn the concept of ‘one more than’. It was an eventful week and we look forward to more fun next week!

This week for Critical Thinking we are learning about other countries in Asia such as Japan, South Korea, Thailand and India. Students were shown an introductory video of each country and we also looked at the different types of food eaten in these places. Without a doubt, students love Japanese food the most and they are most familiar with sushi, rice and noodles. They seem least familiar with Thai and Indian food possibly due to the spicy taste. Students could also share their experiences of eating different types of food and looking at how different the food is cooked.

For Math, students are measuring how tall they are by stacking paper bricks up to their heights. They had a lot of fun in this activity where they can help to measure how tall their friends are. At the end, we put all of their heights in a table and students can learn how to record their own heights as well as their friends’ heights in a chart.

Hello everyone! We had another wonderful week here at ABC. We are getting close to graduation and have been diligently practicing getting ready for the big day! In our maths class we reviewed our telling time concepts such as quarter past, quarter to, half past and o’clock. We also continued to work on our word problems with subtraction as well as continuing to build upon subtraction with borrowing as well. During our physical play we worked on our gross motor skills with fun games like hopscotch and walking with a balloon between our legs! Have a wonderful rest of your week, and we will see you all very soon!
