Highlights of the Week (24/25 Term 2 Week 3)

Hello everyone! It’s only our second week back from the holidays, and we’ve already had so many grand adventures!

We began our week with our favorite lesson—letters! We moved on from the letter M to the letter N, having lots of fun tracing our letters and matching words.

This week, we also learned about healthy food and had a great time painting our favorite fruits. We talked about the foods we like and don’t like—now we’re experts at sharing our favorite foods!

To wrap up the week, we explored a fun new shape: a star! It was a bit tricky to trace, but we did our best—and now we know so many shapes!

We had an amazing time this week with both new friends and old, and we can’t wait for another adventure next week. See you then!

Hello everyone! Welcome back to our ABC Blog!

This week in Phonics, we focused on the sounds /u/ and /v/. In our Cambridge unit, "At the Zoo," students learned how to ask, “What is your favourite animal?” and respond with, “My favourite animal is…” They also enjoyed a heart-warming story about friendship.

In Math, students were introduced to ABAB patterns and practiced counting up to 11.

For Critical Thinking, we explored character awareness by discussing bravery and courage. We talked about different ways to be brave and identified scenarios where students can demonstrate bravery at school. Additionally, we read a story titled "I Am Brave!"

That wraps up our activities for this week! We look forward to seeing you next week.

Welcome to Week 3! This week, the K2 students explored the value of responsibility. We discussed what responsibility means—taking the initiative to do what we are supposed to do without needing reminders so that others can trust us. Responsibility also includes taking care of ourselves! Additionally, we began creating a responsibility poster to showcase examples of how we can be responsible.

In Math, the K2 students continued learning about combinations. This week, they were introduced to the '+' symbol and learned the general concept of addition. To reinforce their understanding, we completed a class revision worksheet. We also started counting from 51 to 70, with students eagerly participating by going up to the smartboard to find and color a number.

In our Cambridge lessons, we began a new unit about being at school. We learned about school supplies and practiced asking and answering simple questions using "Is this...?" The students engaged in fun conversations about classroom items, making the learning experience both interactive and enjoyable!

That's it for this week! Stay healthy and stay warm, everyone! See you next week!

Welcome to another exciting week of learning in our K3 classrooms!

During Physical Play, we continued our Let’s Get Physical Challenge with an activity called “Wall Throws.” The challenge was to throw a ball against a wall and catch it three consecutive times. Students had to determine the right amount of strength needed for their throws to successfully catch the ball.

In Math lesson, students learned about comparing volumes. The lesson began with two different containers, where students guessed the container that had the larger volume. To test their predictions, we poured water into each container to see which held more. The container that held more water indicated a larger volume, while the one that held less had a smaller volume.

For Critical Thinking, we explored the important concept of “Perseverance.” This refers to the determination to pursue a goal or complete a task despite challenges. Students closed their eyes and reflected on a recent difficult experience where they pushed themselves and refused to give up. Afterward, they completed a worksheet on this topic, drawing and writing about a remarkable moment when they demonstrated great perseverance.
