Hey everyone! Our PN friends are in for an exciting new adventure – Project Week! Each of our PN class get to explore special topics picked out for them by their teachers, such as musicals, fantastic creatures, and dinosaurs. One class got to try out singing Do, Re, Mi, and learned about how music and dancing go together to make a musical number performance! On top of that, we also practiced our Letters – W and X, and all the new words we learned that start with those letters. Finally, we did a review of all the words we learned from Pippa and Pop, and had fun doing a little scavenger hunt in our books for all of them! Our Project Week continues next week, and we’re so excited to see what else we have in store – until then, see you next time!

Hello everyone! Welcome back to our ABC blog! This week in our Phonics lessons, we concentrated on blending the sounds /ng/ and /nk/, and we did a lot of fun activities to strengthen our blending skills.

For Cambridge, we explored a meaningful story that teaches the value of saying sorry, which helped us understand feelings better. We also did a class survey to discover everyone’s favourite hobbies.

In our Critical Thinking lessons, we learned about crabs. We discussed where we can find them and talked about different parts of their bodies. We also enjoyed reading a story called "Shark and Crab." For Math, we continued practicing “one more than” for numbers under 10.

That’s all for this week! We are looking forward to seeing everyone next week for more fun learning!

This week, we started a new topic in our Cambridge lessons called The Robot. We learned the words that were related to the body parts and we practiced sentences that started with “I can…” and “I can’t…”. The students’ favourite parts were to chant along to the chant in the books and they also loved reading about what Penny the Penguin ‘can’ or ‘can’t’ do.

In Maths this week, we learnt about measurement. We measured the length of many objects using paper clips as a standard of measurement. The students took turns in their groups and measured various objects in the classroom such as their books, blocks, toys, and stationeries. They were very proud of their work and took turns to tell the teacher “how many paperclips long” their objects were.

Our focus this week was practising for our performance at the K3 Graduation Ceremony. The students were very eager to practise and give their best performance at the graduation for their K3 friends.

Hello everyone for another K3 blog! This week has been busy for our K3 friends with graduation on the way and project presentation following right after. We are wrapping up our project work by finishing the final touches to our final product and heading on to preparing our presentation. We cannot wait to show our parents how great our project is this term.

This time for Math, we played in our groups telling each other the clock phrases we have learned in K3 as well as the terms we learned in K2 like o’clock, half past, quarter to and quarter past. We took turns giving out time phrases while our friends moved the hands in the clock to match the time we have said.

Finally for Cambridge, we continue our lessons on different kinds of sickness by having a reading comprehension activity in our workbooks. We also took turns going to the board and writing the correct form of words on the line. Learning past tense is difficult but we are continuing to learn together as a class.
