Please join us in welcoming Andy and his family who just joined BIS this week.
We hope you have many fun filled days with us.
What we have been doing this week:
F2 children busied themselves exploring the different learning areas and spaces this week.
In the role-play area, they continue to do lots of cooking with some children asking questions like "What do you want to eat?" They have been particularly good at pretending to prepare meals and serving food. Some children have also shown interest in wearing prince and princess costumes in the classroom. In the coming weeks, will we have a restaurant or a castle in F2T?
In the Mark-making area, the children continue to explore a range of writing tools such as pencils, feltips, crayons, chalks and white board markers. Some children are beginning to talk about their pictures whilst some enjoy making random marks on paper. Next week, we will introduce the children's individual Mark-making Book which they will get to bring home at the end of the school year.
This week, the children continue to learn about basic shapes in the Maths area. Some are also able to identify star, diamond, oval and heart. We've also added some mark-making tools in the Maths area so they can draw around 2D shapes.
In the Investigation area, the children loved exploring our under the sea themed tuff spot and have been naming some sea animals.
On Thursday, Ms Precious had some lovely little helpers in the Malleable area. Khuong, Duc Phu, Bao Nhi, Henry, Mie, Janie, Nhat Hoang and Kathy had a go at making playdough. They all waited patiently for their turn to do some mixing, pouring and kneading. The children also voted as to what colour we will use. At the end, majority chose yellow. They all did a great job!
Also for the first time this week, the children went upstairs to the music room and had their Music session with Mr Jon. They enthusiastically joined in with singing and movement activities.
How you can help your child at home?
This week, we've spent our carpet sessions reading stories to the children and doing some songs and rhymes. Here are some stories we've read in class and the songs we've been singing:
