Hello everyone! Welcome to Milky Way’s last blog of June. It seems like it was just yesterday when the students began their inquiry into the environment and the 3Rs. Time surely does fly by fast. Unit 1 is officially over and it will be time to prepare for Unit 2 soon.

They had a discussion about what plants need to grow and then they tried to figure out why plants need water, sunlight, air and soil. The ideas shared during the discussion showed that these young learners are knowledgeable, thinkers and communicators.

For this week’s phonics lesson they learned about magic e in o_e words. They fished for words that contain o_e in them and had to read them out aloud for everyone.

To revise the vocabulary that was introduced to them on Monday, they did a cut and paste activity where they had to look at a picture, figure out what o_e word it is and then cut and paste the appropriate letters to form a word.

The recent hot and humid weather has been quite brutal on everyone. The students eagerly ask If there will be time for water/mud play everyday!

The show and tell sessions are still going strong. This week we saw and heard about interesting things some individuals brought from home. Someone brought a sling shot made from chopsticks, rubber bands and sellotape. He even showed everyone how to shoot papers with it. It’s a great way for the students to wrap up their day. Thank you for the cooperation and support you show by allowing them to bring things from home.

The teachers will plan and prepare for Unit 2 next week so the next unit will officially begin on July 7th.Pool play begins on July 1st, so the students will spend most of their afternoons in the water.

Have a good weekend!
