Pre-Kindergarten - Shaping up to their subjects
This week at Pre-Kindergarten started with the long awaited arrival of Tamaki, the 4th friend in class.
Everyone was really happy to finally have her join and the children continued with gusto learning all about their current subjects of “Colours and Shapes”, showing Tamaki some of their favourite tools and toys.
For their play dough session this time the children used the 3 shapes (triangle, circle and square) of their shape fitting basket which are very useful indeed. Not only can the children practice fine motor skills, but also do a variety of art projects with them.
The children then continued their discovery outdoors, printing shapes using water only and learning that sometimes less of a thing is better (in this case water ! ).
Chalk drawings are also very popular with the Pre-Kindergarten children and the teachers are getting more efficient at drawing Anpanman.
An additional exciting art project this week was using finger paint and what fun it proved to be for the children!
The children chose four favourite colours and then, first cautiously, then more daring, the children dipped their fingers into the paint, making circles, squiggles and then finally very hands-on individual art.
The joy and wonder on the children”s faces says it all !
What a fantastic and creative week at Pre-Kindergarten !
Yours,
