The Squad had a blast with the theme cooking and food! They learned about various cooking methods and the importance of proper food handling, especially for foods like pork and chicken, to avoid foodborne illnesses. They made their own pizzas, where they added their own tomato paste, ham, and cheese, and then took this delicious treat home to eat. Well done, Squad! 

IB Principle: Open-Minded – We explained to the Squad that being open-minded means being willing to listen to and consider other people’s ideas and thoughts, even if they’re different from yours. 

Imagine you have a friend who loves playing with blocks, but you love playing with dolls. Being open-minded means, you can say, “That’s cool! You like blocks, and I like dolls. Let’s play together and find a way to make it fun for both of us!” 

Writing and Phonics: This week the Squad focused on decoding words using sound buttons in their Time2Read books. Great work Squad! We also recapped letter sounds, CVC words, clapping in syllables as well as practiced letter formation. 

Mathematics: This week for maths the squad tackled a worksheet where they had to fill in the number that comes before or after the given number. They grasped this concept well! We also practiced counting to 30 and backwards, as well as in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s.  

Creative Art: For art this week the kiddies started creating the most beautiful Christmas Art, they cant wait to take it home to show their family! 

Music: We are currently practicing graduation songs, and the squad is singing with all their heart. It is a bittersweet time of the year filled with excitement! 

Wishing you all a lovely weekend. 

Our Squad!
