Highlights of the Week (22/23 Term 2 Week 8)

Hello everyone! It’s hard to believe that Easter is just around the corner! We were all having fun while we were learning about Easter this week. We enjoyed being the Easter bunnies and hopped around the classroom to find the Easter eggs. We were really happy to find so many colourful Easter eggs in the bushes! We also made a beautiful Easter Egg craft together with our friends and we are about to show it to our loved ones! For English, we revised the letter Q to letter T. We were asked to find all the hidden pictures in the classroom and match them to the correct beginning letters. What an interesting revision game! For Maths, we did the revision of number 1 to number 8. We really enjoyed singing the new “Easter Eggs number song” with our friends as we were all holding the Easter chocolate eggs while singing it! This was absolutely a fantastic week for all of us! Let’s celebrate Easter together with our family and we wish everyone a joyful and wonderful Easter holiday!

It’s been an ‘egg-citing’ week full of activities leading up to the Easter holidays. In Cambridge, we started our unit “All Aboard”, where we focused on the verbs related to the different modes of transport. It was great to see everyone using short phrases such as “driving a car”, “riding a scooter” and “sailing a boat”. In Critical Thinking this week, we briefly spoke about the sweet and colourful treats we can find during Easter and we really enjoyed taking part in Easter egg hunts with our classmates during our Easter party. We also got creative by decorating our own paper Easter eggs using interesting materials such as marbles, pom-poms and dot markers. We hope everyone has a wonderful Easter holiday and can’t wait to hear about everyone’s break when we are back.

For Critical Thinking this week, we are letting our students experience a plane journey so they were asked to first fill in their personal details on their ABC Pathways “boarding pass”. Students voted on their favourite destination and designed their own time and boarding gate, and they were ready to board their plane and embarked on their plane journey!

As students were allocated to their assigned seats, the flight attendant came to greet them as well as ensuring that the students’ seatbelts were fastened. Then students experienced the plane taking off as they watched a virtual plane flying off on the TV. Next the students were served with some light refreshments and drinks as they enjoyed their plane journey. Finally, they watched the flight landing in their destination! Everyone loved this flight experience and couldn’t wait to go for their real flight journey one day!

For Math this week, we did revision on neighbouring numbers 1 to 100 and it was wonderful to see students working hard to complete those missing numbers during small group time!

Welcome back again friends! Hope that everyone had an amazing weekend! This week for Critical Thinking, we continued to explore the topic on space shuttles with the Balloon Rocket experiment! The students had fun testing the theory of which balloon would make the rocket go faster. Not only that, we also explored more on how astronauts are in space.

Then for Math, the students once again reviewed the identification of their banknotes and coins. This time, we learned how to combine our notes and coins together to make an exact amount. It was quite a challenge but with perseverance, our students began to understand that there are many ways to manipulate the coins and their bills.

And for our Physical Play this week, since it’s the last week before the Easter break, our students commemorated the event with the legendary Easter egg hunt! Our students also mastered how to play Space Tag and the Weightless Race, as these games were a fan-favorite! With these games, our students develop their locomotor and non-locomotor skills, agility, cardiovascular resistance, cooperation and fair play.

It has been a momentous week for our dear friends! We hope everybody has a wonderful Easter Holiday! We can’t wait to see you all again here at ABC!

今週主題「齊來慶祝復活節」-透過故事《尋蛋遊戲》，幼兒認識復活節的由來及復活節的傳統文化習俗，復活節有彩蛋、兔子、百合花等。為了讓幼兒認識復活節尋蛋遊戲，我們在今週舉行了尋蛋遊戲活動，他們玩得非常開心。另外，老師透過認識「雞蛋」並安排了幼兒在茶點時間吃烚蛋，幼兒嘗試自己剝雞蛋殼，邊吃邊練習一下小手指的靈活性呢!

學習目的： (1) 認識復活節常見的食物及其名稱

(2) 認識尋彩蛋的樂趣

(3) 認識「蛋」的字形和字義

主題：「有益的食物」－均衡飲食

來到主題「有益的食物」的尾聲，老師首先介紹多款豆製品及其益處，其後讓幼兒嘗試觀察及觸摸最常見的豆漿和豆腐，藉此認識到不同的豆類食品，知道豆類食品具有很高的營養價值。最後，透過圖片及故事分享，幼兒都承諾日後不會偏食並會嘗試不同的食物。老師希望經過今次的主題學習，幼兒會培養出均衡飲食的習慣。爸爸媽媽在家也要多鼓勵幼兒，和幼兒一起保持健康的體魄啊！
