Highlights of the Week

This week was exciting since the PN students were able to come to school for face to face learning for one day. The children were so happy to see their friends and teachers again as well as a few of their new classmates. This week the theme is all about water transportation. They learnt words such as boat, rowboat, yacht and ship. They pretended to sail a boat at school and even got to play with toys boats through water play. For Math, the children learned about which things go over and which can be found under. They continued to fill the day having fun through music and dance. We can’t wait to see everyone again for more fun learning next week.

It’s been an amazing week as we got to come back to school to see our classmates and teachers! We started an exciting new topic in Cambridge this week as we looked at different types of transport. It was a relatable topic as everyone was able to share the transport they enjoy taking. In phonics this week we learned the sounds /qu/ and /r/ and explored vocabulary related to these sounds with fun activities like making a class rainbow. Our K1 children were proud to share their knowledge of colours as we looked at the colours grey and brown in Math. Critical Thinking was extra special this week as we talked about our mums in light of Mother’s Day on Sunday. Everyone was very keen on making some really special flowers for their mums this week. Happy Mother’s Day everyone and we look forward to continuing the fun next week!

Welcome back K2, and we are celebrating Mother’s Day this week. Students made flower stamps with vegetables such as celery. Then they drew the stems on and wrote a lovely message for their mummies. The students enjoyed the activity a lot and they put in a lot of effort to ensure their cards look beautiful! Happy Mother’s Day!

For English, we are learning about pets and students are very eager to talk about their pets or favourite animals during “Show and Tell”. They were asked to describe pictures of where the animals were placed, by using different prepositions such as on, in, under. Also for Math this week, we have been doing more practice with additions, and it seems that the students have fully comprehended the concept of additions and can provide answers much more quickly than before. We have learnt all the numbers up to 100 now! Well done to you all!

The K3 students were very excited to be back at school, even if it was for one day. This week, we learned about Mother’s Day and why it is important to celebrate all mothers and grandmothers. We made cards together during our in-class day, and we hope you have a wonderful weekend celebrating Mother’s Day. In math, we continued to learn about money and practiced with dollars and cents. We have been learning to add bills and coins together and how to read how much an item costs. The K3 students also continue to practice their addition skills in double digit addition with regrouping. We have been learning this for a few weeks now and the students seem more confident in their ability. We look forward to next week with two days at school!
