We have been busy!! So many learning adventures and explorations
going on! We celebrated Jasper’s birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASPER!) and had an
amazing field trip! Thank you to Neetu and Mina
for organizing blue cupcakes to celebrate our new baby, and for so many
thoughtful presents and beautiful handmade cards!
Our explorations and activities included…
*We took a field trip to the Ulu
Pandan Community Theatre to see Elephant and Piggy are in a Play! The kids
LOVED the bus, LOVED the show (they were laughing all the way through it!) and
LOVED being together! What a great day!
*Our mark making and maker space
areas still continue to be popular!
Thank you again for sending in envelopes, paper, stickers, paper towel
tubes, water bottles….you name the item and they are using them! Many great inventions happening!
*Some of our students had the
great idea to use some of our materials to make a theatre! (It seemed to be
inspired by our field trip that was coming up when they first started this!)
They used many of the recycled materials, but also looked through the shelves
to find tiles, wood pieces, popsicle stick people…the list is endless and the
project is still ongoing, but listening to the discussion as the kids were
working was amazing.
*A different group of students
started making an airplane and airport! There were wings, a cockpit, pilots,
travellers, suitcases, and signs to show what was happening. There was much
discussion that it was a Singapore Airlines plane going to Canada or
Thailand! More documentation will be
posted so you can see how elaborate these projects were becoming during this
week!
*There was a lot of practicing
of letters, numbers and sounds this week, through games, writing, and fun
movement activities.
