This week, we enjoyed many fun and meaningful learning experiences together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We spent time at the park where the children had the opportunity to explore, play, and interact with their friends in the outdoor environment. The children enjoyed running, climbing, and discovering nature while developing their social and physical skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The children also participated in a traffic safety drill. They practised important safety skills such as walking carefully, listening to instructions, and learning how to stay safe near roads and crossings. It was a valuable experience that helped build their awareness and understanding of safety rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the classroom, we explored the concept of \u201csame and different.\u201d Through discussions and activities, the children compared objects, while learning to identify similarities and differences. This helped encourage observation, critical thinking, and communication skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also read the wonderful story Elmer<\/em> by David McKee. The children loved learning about Elmer, the colorful elephant who celebrates individuality and uniqueness. To extend the story, the children worked together to create a bright and colorful Elmer poster, showing their creativity and teamwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During free play and workstation times, the children participated in a variety of hands-on activities. They enjoyed making faces, completing body puzzles, and kneading play dough to create objects of their choice. The children also practiced buttoning and unbuttoning, helping to strengthen their fine motor skills and independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, the children also planted cherry tomato seedlings. First, they mixed the soil together, then carefully made holes and planted the seedlings. Finally, they watered the plants and agreed to continue caring for them so they can grow strong and healthy. Through this activity, the children practised taking turns, cooperating with others, and developing their self-management skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
