What we have been doing this week

        
 
       We are pleased to see how our children in F1X are developing their speaking skills and vocabulary as we continue to focus on princes and princesses theme this week.
          On Monday, we talked about the movie Frozen. Some children are familiar with the songs ‘Let It Go’ and ‘Do You Want to Build a Snowman?’ They have been doing some amazing singing in the morning and in the afternoon as well! Emily and Hannah are also familiar with the lines of the characters in the story and they often engage in pretend play.
          On Tuesday and Wednesday, we focused on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The children are learning lots of new vocabulary. We are also encouraging them to repeat phrases such as ‘Mirror Mirror on the wall. Who’s the fairest of them all?’
          On Thursday and Friday, we looked at Cinderella. Linh Lan said ‘I don’t like them!’ pointing to Cinderella’s evil sisters. We watched the movie and talked about how she was treated by her sisters and step mother.
         Alongside our focus stories, we have been doing lots of activities in the different learning areas. In Maths, we continue to focus on shapes. In our Investigation area, the children  have been making potions and casting spells. In our Workshop area, the children are developing their fine motor skills through our peel and stick activities. We have decorated magic mirrors, Cinderella’s shoes, fairy wands and swords. In our Mark Making area, they have been learning how to handle a variety of mark making tools and colour different characters. 
It has been another busy week, full of learning and new experiences! Well done to all our children J

  1. Dear Ms. Crislet and Ms.Precious,

    Maybe we missed the letter of school photograph. Can you let us know what we have to do? And can you also give us another form? Thank you.
