Young Scientists and All About Me.
We have been busy with some of the unit activities - Young Scientists and All About Me. Exploring sounds. The kids made a number of shakers using empty water bottles and various materials such as beads, rice, cotton, feathers, beans, flour, paper etc. Next, the kids made a prediction whether the material will make a sound or not, will it be loud or soft; and then they experimented.Exploring pipes. We wondered what can we do with the pipes? How can we connect pipes? What could we do if there are pipes and marbles, tubes and water?Using scooters and parachute is a fun way to develop the gross motor skills... and simply HAVE FUN:)Independant reading time after snack became one of the kids' favorite activities. They like to read and share their reading with a friend or in a small group. The kids' storytelling skills have improved significantly from the beginning of March.

Our Sharing The Planet unit is coming to the end. The Busy Bees have been doing their final reflections on the unit - what they understand under the central idea of the unit and what kind of connections they can make when they think about sharing our planet with the other living creatures. The kids have been working really hard during this unit and we are proud to share with you their thinking and art work based on their observations, knowledge and experience. Be amazed how original and creative are the students in PreK3. The second swim session is on! The Busy Bees are demonstrating that they are Risk-takers in every single swim class by overcoming their fears while trying out new skills or practicing in the big pool. Usually, our swim teacher, mr. Swapan starts class with some warm up excersises in the splash pool, then all kids move to the platform for collecting the rings as a fun activity for their smooth transition into the big pool. Chaka-chaka-choo-choo song (ask your child about this song) helps everyone to move away from the platform and start practising walking on tippitoes in the water; jumping in and climbing out the pool. Swimming with noodles is always a great fun to end the class. |
