This week in our Unit of Inquiry (UOI), our learners dove into the important topic of waste management by exploring how to separate trash correctly. We focused on sorting everyday waste into the correct bins to help care for our environment.

We introduced four types of trash categories:

🟢 Green Bag – for burnable waste like tissues and food scraps
🟡 Yellow Bag – for plastics such as wrappers and containers
🔴 Red Bag – for non-burnable items like metal or broken toys
♻️ Recyclables – for PET bottles, cans, and paper that can be reused

To make learning exciting and interactive, we played a sorting game! The children were given different “trash” items (real or pretend), and they had to line up in front of the bag where they thought the item belonged. There was laughter, thinking, and a lot of proud moments when students got it right—and even when they learned from their mistakes.

Before the week ended, our sorting game became more fun when we could play with our parents during the open day. It was such a memorable experience!

The game was not only fun but also helped reinforce the importance of taking responsibility for our waste.

We’re so proud of our little eco-heroes! 🌍♻️

Our classroom was buzzing with excitement during our Workstation Activity Day! The students rotated through three interactive stations, each designed to strengthen both literacy and fine motor skills—all while having fun and staying engaged.

✨ Station 1: CVC Word Decoding
At this station, the children looked at pictures and decoded simple CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words such as “nap,” “pin,” and “pad.” They used letter cards to spell out the words, helping build their phonics awareness and reading confidence.

✨ Station 2: Pokémon Character Name Search
This station was a hit! Kids searched Pokémon character names in the worksheet and practiced reading or identifying the names. It was a fun way to blend their interests with literacy practice, boosting both word recognition and excitement for reading.

✨ Station 3: Clay Molding Challenge
In this hands-on station, students selected picture cards and tried to recreate the image using clay. From animals to potato fries, this activity encouraged them to focus on details and use their hands creatively, strengthening their fine motor coordination.

All three stations offered a balanced mix of thinking, creating, and reading, and the students moved through each one with curiosity and enthusiasm. It was wonderful to see them learning through play and collaboration!

Way to go, everyone! 🎉🧠✏️👐

Have a great weekend!
