Highlights of the Week (24/25 Term 2 Week 9)

This week in pre-nursery, our little learners had an exciting time exploring the world of dentists! They participated in a fun activity where they pretended to be dentists, using toy dental kits to check their friends' teeth and practice good oral hygiene. In our English lesson, we focused on the letter 'R.' The children enjoyed a delightful scavenger hunt around the classroom, searching for objects that start with 'R,' like rabbit, rainbow and ribbons. We had a blast exploring the letter 'R' by creating a bright, rainbow 'R'! The little artists glued on strips of colourful paper, making their letter sparkle with every shade of the rainbow. In Math, we discovered the shape of a heart! The kids loved making heart-shaped crafts with paper and glue, and we played a sorting game where they categorized various objects by their shapes. With the Ching Ming Festival holiday coming up this Friday, we wish everyone a wonderful long weekend and can’t wait to see all the smiling faces back in class!

Hello, everyone! Welcome back to our ABC blog!

This week in Phonics, we focused on blending with /g/ and /f/. In Cambridge, we reviewed the vocabulary from “My Town” and discussed various aspects of going to the cinema. To simulate a visit to the cinema, we provided tickets and popcorn for the kids. They enjoyed watching a short movie while munching on their popcorn.

For Critical Thinking, we introduced a new topic: “Bees.” We talked about the body parts of bees and what products we get from them. The kids also had a honey-tasting session, which they really enjoyed.

In Math, we introduced a new concept called “In and Out” and continued practicing up to 14.

This wraps up our week, and we can’t wait for more fun next week!

This week for Critical thinking, our K2 students started a new topic on insects. We looked at the different types of insects as well the body features of an insect. We learned the characteristics through a song which is taken from the song “Head, shoulder, knees and toes” but replacing the lyrics with “Head, thorax, abdomen, abdomen”. We had a lot of fun singing the songs and learning about insects at the same time.

We were given different types of animals and we had to identify which ones were insects and which ones were not and stick them onto the correct category.

For Math, we have also started a new topic which is “Clocks”. Our K2 students learned that there are two kinds of clocks, analog and digital. We focused on analog clocks this week, learning the word “o’clock”. Students learned that the term o’clock means having two zeros at the second part of the clock. Then we also played a game where we had to match the same time on the digital clock with the analog clocks. We had a lot of fun playing this game!

Welcome to another week of learning in K3. We are so thrilled to continue our Critical Thinking lesson on Space, where we explore and create our own projects. As we dive into the wonders of Space and the knowledge available to us, we also discuss what else might exist beyond the information and facts we find in books and on the internet. It’s so fun to imagine and create these images and ideas we have and put them in our project work.

Our learning continues in English class, where we apply the preposition of place we’ve studied to our new topic of “Around the Town”. We learned the words near, above, below, and opposite by discussing the meanings and how we use them when reading a town map.

We’ve finally come to the last part of learning about money where we learn to combine notes and coins together. We were given word problems to solve together as a pair and present the right amount of money as our answer to these questions. It was a great practical way to learn about money.

Have a wonderful long weekend!
