Moral conscious theme: Respect different cultures –  

We explained to the Squad that we need to treat everyone equally no matter how they look such as clothing, hairstyles, skin colour and other appearances, or even if they do things differently. Do not make jokes about other cultures. 

Writing and Phonics: This week the Squad worked hard on remembering our sight words as well as wrote out a few of their sight words on their white boards. The squad then did a worksheet on the “eg” family, they had to match the correct words with the pictures followed by writing out sentences with the “eg” family words – their handwriting is drastically improving and we are such proud teachers! 

Mathematics: The Squad did a worksheet on “Tallying” followed by a graph where they had to count the number of sea animals and colour their graphs accordingly, this is a difficult concept to learn however they impressed us with how determined they were to get it right, good job! 

Creative Art: The Squad has been working hard on their art expo pieces, they are very excited for you to see all their artwork as they keep asking to take them home, teehee – so cute!  

Have a wonderful long weekend!

Shops and Shopping

Shops and Shopping

Our Shops and Shopping theme is always a hit! We taught the kids practical skills that blend learning with fun. We covered money basics (identifying coins, understanding “buying” and “change”), practiced social interactions (role-playing shopkeepers/customers), and linked maths to life (counting, sorting items). We encouraged creativity (designing their own “shop”), all while connecting school to the real world. The kiddies had an absolute blast choosing their items and filling their trolleys, it was too cute!

Cooking and Food

Cooking and Food

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!
