Pre-KG 2022 / 23 Blog 34
Wrap up
In the last full week before the summer holidays, the Pre-Kindergarten revised all the 3 units they had learned about in this school year: “Colours and Shapes” (How we express ourselves), “Animals and Food” (How the world works) and “Body and Family” (Who we are).
We started the week with an extensive discovery walk, covering all our subjects, first looking at the colourful flowers and the cute dogs at the Sheraton Kindergarten, then checking out the food options at the Udon restaurant and the nearby cafe and finally having a run and a good view from the fashion market balcony onto our school.
Throughout the week, the children reviewed the vocabulary for food and the animals in English and in German and they did the Sky, Land, Sea sorting activity which is very popular and shows how much the children already know.
We also spoke about the body parts again and the Pre-Kindergarten children adore the German song about washing their body and then having no towel to dry off.
What do you do ? You shake everything !
We then decided to cool ourselves down a little on a hot day.
The little turtle and crab pools were set up, so the children could refresh their feet in the water and some splashing exercises followed. The children also used some colourful shape containers (yes, round and square, orange and green etc.) to drizzle water on their legs.
Well, it was a hot day and the water play was so much fun that soon the whole body was in the water and the children squeaked with delight.
I have a lot of memories with a little pool in our garden in Germany and the balmy days of summer are much more fun this way.
Ms.Marie came by to say hello and bring us the freshly printed copies of the DSKI yearbook which she had worked so hard on. Thank you so much, Ms.Marie and good luck in Germany! We will miss you !
On Wednesday evening there were the SLCs (Student Led Conferences) at DSKI and for K1 and K2.
I was on site to showcase all the exciting things the older children have learnt in their German lessons. The parents were really surprised and I am so much looking forward to teaching my present class more German after the summer holidays. They already can say quite a lot of words, especialy the colours like rot, blau, lila and many more, animals like Katze, Hund, Ente etc. und of course super und lecker!
The Pre-Kindergarten children held their own SLC’s individually with Ms.Anita during the last two weeks. Thank you to all the parents for coming and marvelling at your children’s growth and knowledge, it is truly amazing! I will post the photos in my next week’s blog, the last one in this school year.
On Thursday we had the chance to see an enchanting performance by our grades 3 and 4, an adaption of Shakespeare’s play “A Midsommer Night’s Dream”.
It was a wonderful opportunity for the school community to get together and share their learning and joy. The Pre-Kindergarten children watched fascinated what was happening on the stage….a king, a queen, rappers, fairies and dancers, what more could they ask for.
Thank you, grade 3 and 4 for a lovely time !
After letting their beautifully crafted butterflies fly, the children enjoyed printing with water on Friday, which was a good activity to look at the shapes again and beat the heat.
Before going home the children put a message for their fathers on the little jumping look-alike dolls they had made and we hope all the daddies enjoy playing with them with their children.
Happy Father’s Day ! Alles Gute zum Vatertag !
Have a joyful weekend !
Yours,
