Pre-Kindergarten - on the move !
After lots of inquiry into family matters and a fantastic trip with the families to the Kobe Animal Kingdom last week, the Pre-Kindergarten children learnt more about their bodies this week.
They started with a VERY active Monday that included a trial run for Sports Day with K1 and K2 , walking to a tulip field near Porsche and pulling out tulip bulbs and finally steps up and down to the library, because Monday is our Library Day.
The Pre-Kindergarten children surely got a lot of exercise in one morning!
But the children are always on the move, mentally and physically !
They learnt about their body parts with a Dora worksheet and many can name some or all of them now.
They continue to hone their fine motor skills and grip by using colour pencils, cutting with scissors, picking up paper scraps and gluing them on, putting colour pins into boards, stringing beads and much more.
They also learnt how to hold a rubber ring properly and pass it on to a friend for the Sports day relay.
Still, the focus was also on the gross motor skills, so the children climbed, ran, balanced and kicked balls.
They moved and danced along to one of their favourite movement songs and learnt a new one.
Please shake and move along with your child at home !
Shake and Move Children's Song
On Thursday, our smaller group of Pre-Kindergarten children went on an errand, buying some buckets at a shop for future excursions.
This day and the mini trip on Rokko Island shows best how much the Pre-Kindergarten children move all day!
Move - the song !
Dance on the deck on the way to shopping !
Bucket fun run !
Due to heavy rain on Friday our DSKI Sports Day was postponed, but the children enjoyed another practice session.
Finally, the Pre-Kindergarten children do not only move their bodies, but they also move hearts!
Because Mother’s Day falls into our Golden Week holidays this year the Pre-Kindergarten children crafted some beautiful flowers to give to their mothers to thank them for always taking so good care of them ! Everyone loves their mum !
Thank you, mum, Okasan arigato, Gracias Mama, Danke Mama, Merci Maman !
Happy Golden Week, happy children’s Day and happy Mother’s Day to all of you !
Yours,
Anita Ursula Mönch
DSKI Pre-Kindergarten homeroom teacher
