Highlights of the Week (22/23 Term 2 Week 7)

Hello everyone! What an amazing week of learning! As our theme this week is about Pets (Rabbits), we were very excited to bounce like rabbits with our friends to find carrots in the classroom and had a chance to talk about how to take care of rabbits at home! For English, we learned about the letter T and the new words (tiger, turtle, tooth and train). We had lots of fun in finding the things that start with the letter T in the rice box and we found all of them correctly! For Maths, we were introduced to the number 8. Our teachers showed us how to make an eight-legged spider with our hands by linking our thumbs together. Then, we showed our ‘hand spider’ while we sang the ‘Itsy Bitsy Spider’ song. We all danced around the classroom and had a really great time with our friends this week!

We’ve had a busy week full of lots of fun hands-on activities. We wrapped up our topic on ‘food’ in Cambridge by discussing where our food comes from. It was great to see how much everyone contributed to these discussions. We practiced our fine motor skills by pretending to milk a cow which everyone thoroughly enjoyed! Math was lots of fun this week as we sorted classroom objects into ‘grey’ and ‘brown’ to do some colour revision. Critical Thinking was the highlight of the week as we spoke about travelling which was exciting for the kids as we pretended to be airplanes taking off at the airport. We also talked about possible holiday destinations and if they are hot or cold and how we could pack for them. We brought all our learning together by designing and packing our own suitcases using facial tissues boxes. This was a great way for students to tie in all the learning from the week as well as practice their fine motor and creativity skills. We look forward to more ‘egg-citing’ fun next week in preparation for Easter!

During our Critical Thinking lessons this week we are reflecting on holidays and vacations, and the travel process that comes along with taking trips and visiting a new part of the world. We focused on the airport and the interesting people who work there, as well as the machines and different things we can use in an airport, and the steps we need to follow to ensure we find our plane on time and arrive at our destination. The students were encouraged to bring pictures of their own holidays to share with the class, becoming the focus of a lively group discussion in which, the students had the opportunity to discuss their personal experiences of taking a holiday and everything they had to do to prepare for it. We also began working on our very own ABC ‘boarding pass’, which we will use to perform a group role play in which we will go on our own imaginary class trip together.

During Maths, we continued our counting revision and practiced counting all the way up to 100! We also revised our addition we’ve been practicing over the last few weeks, doing addition sums going up to 10.

Greetings Friends! We hope that everyone had an eventful weekend! From taking a cruise and roaming around the world, this week’s critical thinking has taken us out of this world! We learned about space shuttles - what it looks like and how a takeoff launch works. We definitely had a BLAST!

Then for Math, the students reviewed the identification of their banknotes and coins. Then, we focused on combining the coins together in order to make a certain amount. It was worth counting for sure! To sharpen our addition skills, we continued practicing our 2-digit addition with carry-over this week.

And for our Physical play this week, to make it coherent to our Critical thinking theme, our students played space related games like the Space invasion wherein the students practiced their accuracy in their underhand throwing, then we also got to play the Space tag and the weightless race.

It has been an action-packed week filled with much fun and happy learning! Looking forward to more of these with our eager beavers next week! See you all!
