Preschool (2019/2020)

School Mission - Empowerment We agree to create an environment in which children are involved in their learning,  can ask questions, and thus gain a sense of empowerment. Independence This week we have really been encouraging the children to do things for themselves. This includes serving themselves at snack time, changing themselves for nap, putting on their own shoes and tidying up after themselves. These are all fundamental skills in promoting the children to become independent and forward thinking learners.  Please support us by encouraging your child to do these things for themselves at home. You can read more about promoting early childhood independence here . Maths This week we have started to create some of Christmas crafts. This has been a perfect opportunity to revise some of the work we did on shapes earlier in the term. We began by painting lollipop sticks and then used these to make triangles which will later become Christmas tree decorations...

Loy Krathong This week the children have learnt a lot about Loy Krathong and participated in a whole school assembly to celebrate the festival. We also made Krathongs in the classroom. It was lots of fun and the children looked so smart in their Thai clothes. Thanks to all the parents for the flower donations. Our celebrations would not be the same without your support. Be sure to check out all the photos, by scanning the QR code on display outside the classroom! Maths This week in maths we have continued to learn number rhymes such as ' 5 cheeky monkeys ' and ' 5 little ducks '. We also went out into the sand area to see how many dinosaur fossils we could excavate, went on a number hunt and played number Splat! Next week we will go on a shape hunt. Phonics This week in phonics we played the game 'Where is Teddy'. We listened to lots of sounds from around the house and tried to work out which room Teddy was hiding in. We will practice t...

Parent Readers This week we have been lucky to be able to welcome some more parent readers into our class. The children love hearing all the stories you share at home as families. A huge thanks to all those who have participated and please let us know if you would like this to become a regular feature. Family Friday Reading once a month? Maths This week in maths we have been continuing to explore patterns with more finger painting fun, and we have been learning number rhymes. Try singing 5 little-speckled frogs , 5 little men in a flying saucer , or 5 little monkeys at home. Phonics This week in phonics we have been practising our listening skills. We have looked at pictures of different modes of transport, learnt their names and learnt the differences between them. We talked about if they had wheels, wings or something else to help them travel. Specialist Sessions This week in Thai the children have been learning about the alphabet and wri...

Parent Volunteers A huge thanks to the parents who have given up some of their time in the afternoon to come and share their favourite stories with the children! This has been a wonderful opportunity for them to build that connection between school and home. This will continue into next week and we still have three slots available so if you are able to give up 15 minutes of your time and are interested in sharing a story, song or dance with the class, please sign up on the sheet posted on the Parent Notice Board.  Maths This week in maths the children have continued to work on making patterns.

The children have made excellent progress since they started back in August.  Learner profile We are still working on being Communicator-dons this week. You may start to notice your ch...

Halloween Party This has been a very busy week!  We had a wonderful Halloween Party in EY on Wednesday. Thank you again to the parents for providing snacks for your children and treats to be shared with their friends. These events would not be possible without your support!
