Mm – Mommy

Welcome back parents, we hope the Squad is well rested after the holidays. This week we focused on recapping, lots of free play and settling in!  

Writing and Phonics: This week we did a recap on sight words and played a fun game where the Squad had to go searching for their hidden sight words around the class and then try and read them out once found.  

Mathematics: For mathematics this week, we did a recap on counting to 30 and back and practiced counting in 2’s, 5’s and 10s. 

Cooking: For our cooking class this week, the Squad made doughnuts for Mother’s Day, they rolled their own dough and then formed a doughnut shape, they watched the doughnuts fry and turn golden brown. Once the doughnuts cooled down, they poured chocolate on top and added sprinkles. They have been so excited to bring these home to their moms! 😀 

Creative Art: The Squad wrote down a menu that they are going to treat and pamper their mothers with on Mother’s Day. They then made a beautiful bouquet of flowers art piece where they coloured in, cut out the flowers and pasted them down followed by tracing their own hand and cutting it out to represent them holding the bouquet of flowers. Hehe, they absolutely enjoyed this! 

Have a wonderful weekend!

 

We hope you have a very special Sunday our very special Eco Moms!

Christmas!

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!”

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

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!
