Dear Parents,
Last week was
the children’s second week of school, and the week that they started to realize
that coming to school and being away from their love ones was a permanent
routine. Many of us have stated to
adjust, while others may need a little more time. Some of us now only cry when
you leave while others run in with smiles.
Last week we had a new friend join our class. Please welcome Hops to our classroom.
We have started our theme on “Our Family”. Thank you for
the photos that you had sent. We showed the photos to our friends, and tried to
tell who the people in the photos were. We began our discussion by talking
about our immediate family. We looked at pictures of families and learned that
a family consists of people who live with us, and that a family can be big or
small. Sometimes we got confused with the words that are used to call people in
different families. Some of us call our
fathers “daddy” while others said “papa.”
The same goes with words used for mothers and grandparents. We then
talked about jobs that our parents do while we are at school. We saw pictures of mummies and daddies doing
house work and office work. We then
pretended to be mummies and daddies doing house work. During Sensory Play, we washed the clothes
and had fun playing with the bubbles.
In the art centre we made our family member dolls. While
making our dolls we talked about the body parts of the dolls. We named the
parts of the face such as the eyes, nose, mouth and ears. We had our first
Cooking activity last week. We were excited to make our face bun. Some of us
tried hard to make the rice cake look like a face with eyes, nose and mouth,
while others were happy to put the chocolate buttons here and there.
This Week
We will be talking about our extended family such as our
grandparents, aunts and uncles. We will
also be talking about our house and rooms in our house. Please let your child bring a toothbrush
to school this week so that we can practice brushing our teeth while we
talk about activities in the bathroom.
Ms. Marizon
