Preschool (2019/2020)

This week I've been looking for the children to be Care-raptors. Many of the children were able to demonstrate kindness to others and develop their sharing skills with support from an adult. Once they have demonstrated this attribute from the PYP Learner Profile, their picture goes up on the display, next to the dinosaur. On Monday Miss Som-O came to talk to the children about how to wash their hands properly and why this is important. This was in response to the recent illnesses throughout the EY.

Wai Kru Ceremony This week the children have been working hard to prepare for the Wai Kru Ceremony. They have practised Wai with Miss Doum in our Thai lessons. They have made the flower trays and flower cones to be presented to the teachers during the ceremony. Our class representatives, Yu Qian and Enrich, presented the flower trays to the senior leaders. Everyone presented flower cones to the Early Years teachers. Parent Notices Parent Open morning has been moved from Friday 27th September to Friday 2nd November. Thank you for donating flowers for our Wai Kru Ceremony. It would not be possible without your support. Please return the children's library books on Monday if you have not already done so.

This linked with our Learning Profile Dinosaur, Inquireapod as we were showing curiosity about people around us. Please feel free to pop into class at the beginning or end of the day to see this and talk to your child about their photographs.  This week also saw us celebrate Pleng's 3rd birthday! The children really enjoyed sharing her special day with her (and the cupcakes she brought!)
