We have started a new role play area in the classroom based on most of the children's interest in the past which is Transports. All of us including the children helped create a Bus Station in F1. Children were surprised to see 2 buses made of boxes waiting for them to be painted. Some of them spent a considerable amount of time painting the boxes with the color of their choice. Those 2 lonely boxes turned into a colourful buses that the children have been playing with!
This week in class, we have also introduced 4 reading buddies. These tiny, cuddly toys are here to support us in developing the children's vocabulary and language skills. Through these animals reading a story is a more fun activity to do in the classroom. We have also been focusing on the nursery rhyme, Incy Wincy Spider as part of our Talk for Writing initiative at school. 'Talk for Writing enables children to imitate the key language they need for a particular topic orally before they try reading and analysing the story.' In F1, we have been using exciting props, pictures and drawings to make it easier and fun for the children to understand and learn a story or rhyme.
Splash pool was a success this week as the children have shown confidence in the water. We are very excited to have another session next week! Please make sure to let your children bring in their swimming kit to school (swimming costume and towel - all properly labelled).
In Maths, we have been using coloured chains in learning/saying numbers names in random and in sequence. Some children can say numbers names to 10 and are showing awareness of counting objects too.
A new addition to the Messy Play idea can be found here. (please click the link)
Three new children joined F1 this week, I know you will all join us in welcoming Long, Tony and Chi and their families into BIS Tu Xuong campus!
