This week was full of exciting learning adventures! Our little ones explored the letter Z through fun activities. First, they created their own "Zoo" by sticking animal figures on a big letter Z, learning words like zebra, zoo, and zookeeper! Then, they practiced zipping and unzipping bags, strengthening their fine motor skills while having fun. In Math, we mixed colours like magic! The kids used paint to discover that red + yellow = orange and blue + red = purple—they were amazed at how colours transform! For our Theme, we talked about growing up and moving to K1 soon. We also welcomed summer with a fun sunshine collage, decorating rays with bright colours while chatting about beach trips and ice cream treats! We’re so proud of how much our pre-nursery stars have grown—K1, here they come!

Hello K1 families,

What a fantastic week we've had in our K1 classrooms! We are so incredibly proud of all our wonderful students. They have shown so much energy and happiness in all our activities.

These classrooms were filled with laughter as we learned some fun new games together. We all loved playing Hot Potato, Musical Chairs, and 4 Corners with our friends! Ask your child which game was their favorite.

Alongside all the fun, our amazing students also worked hard on their skills. We practiced our phonics sounds and our handwriting. It is wonderful to see how far they've come with writing their own names now!

With summer coming, we learned about sun safety and what happens if we don’t remember our hats and sunscreen to play safely outside. The excitement is building as we near the end of the term and get ready for the summer holiday!

Hello everyone! Welcome back to another exciting week in K2!

This week in Phonics, we explored the “le” sound. We had lots of fun playing games to practice words with “le”, and we even got to create our own silly sentences! It was so much fun using our imagination. In our Cambridge lessons, we talked about our favorite activities when we go to the beach. We loved sharing what we like to do and listened to our friends’ ideas.

Since we are now confident with numbers, we played fun games to compare which number is bigger in a set. We also reviewed odd numbers all the way up to 100. It was a great way to practice our Math skills! With the hot weather this week, our Critical Thinking lessons were extra fun and refreshing with our cool Ice Fishing Experiment! We loved getting hands-on and thinking carefully about how to “fish for ice”.

We also want to say a big congratulation to our K3 friends on their graduation – well done! We are so proud of you.

That’s all for now. See you next time!
