In Term 1, parents are invited to find out more about the curriculum and how wenurture our children holistically. It was an informative session for both our parentsand teachers as they got to know more about the children and how parents andteachers can work together to support our children’s development.

We had our first Parent Support Group Briefing forparents who signed up to be parent volunteers withthe school. It was heartwarming to see the positiveresponses from the parents and we hope to build astrong partnership with our families.

OutVentures provide opportunities for our children to be engaged in fun outdoorlearning adventures. This term, children explored ideas and used their creativity inbuilding sturdy sandcastles through sand play. A lot of teamwork, effort andconfidence were seen in our children!

K1 Updates

Children experienced using a target structure to speak in proper sentence. For example, Something is on my back. It is a spider. They were also introduced to some vocabulary words such as it, my, shower, spider.

Children explored bending their bodies to form triangle. They also named and labelled the body parts that can bend too. Thereafter, the children

went for a triangle hunt around the school environment!

Our first K1 field trip took place in the month of March. The children went to the National Gallery Singapore and turned into little architects! They

observed the many different shapes architects used to design the building and illustrated it down!

K2 Updates

Children were introduced to the different prepositional words (in front of, at the bottom, on top and beside). In groups, they went around the class to seek for the toy animals that

were hidden. After which, they shared with their friends where they found the animals.

They were also introduced to the sentence structure “I can/can’t (verb).” Following which, they played a game and shared about the things that they can do or can’t do before drawing it out.

Children were introduced to beginning sounds - /br/, /ch/ and ending sound - /er/, and jumped when they heard the words that begins and ends with the said sound.
