KG1B weeks 4/5

KG 1B weeks 4 and 5.

With sports day done an dusted we were all exhausted and happy to get on back to our daily routines. Well done green team!!!!! And everyone who got involved!

The introduction of the new play room has gone down a treat! KG1 love it! We were excited to play puzzles, math solving and stack games! We often go in here after our afternoon nap. It wakes us up and prepares us for our afternoon learning time.

Having settled back in to our old routine kg1b is back on track and learning with bright eyes. We have explored animals and their habitats and move on to a new English topic this week “clothes for all weather”. We all did an excellent job with our last unit and we hope this one will be just as fun!

Last week we explored the sounds of the letter M and made our very own monsters from paper plates! We were very excited about this art project. a

This week we have been busy with the letter N. Trying new activities to help us remember the sound and shape of the letter N. Tracing with our fingers, building our letters from blocks, making bird nests, and playing sorting games to aide our understanding of the capital and lower case letters! Wow! It’s been busy!
Letter shape recognition

Writing practice

Capital and lower case comprehension

We have even tried our hands at cooking this week! We melted chocolate and mixed it with cornflakes to make cornflake cakes! We then added MnM’s to the mix to make our creations look like bird nests and eggs! Of course this was to go with our letter N theme. We are sure to be trying something else next week for the letter O 🙂

KG1b have had a fantastic few weeks and would love to wish everyone a happy Chinese New Year!
We hope you enjoyed our yummy cakes. See you next week!

KG1B weeks 2 and 3

Hello everyone!
These past two weeks kindergarten have been busy getting ready for sports day. With this in mind KG1B have be practising exercising and getting active! We’ve started by exploring our stretching ablitys and building on our hand eye coordination skills! We had a lot of fun and were very impressed! KG1B loved doing gymnastics and have added it to our weekly P.E sessions.
Take a peek

KG1B have been exploring different animals in their English unit this week. We have been looking animals under the sea and exploring their habitats. We liked dolphins because they breath just like us. We enjoyed watching them dance and play and talked about how much fun it would be to swim with them.

Phonics class was exciting this week because we explored the letter K! We were able to make our own kites and practise trying to fly them in the class room! So much fun!
K is for Kite!

We talked a little this week about jobs we know. And had a chance to explore different professions. Danish wants to be a police officer! So we asked our friends To let him try a real police hat! He was delighted!

We practised tracing in the sand and built on our hand eye coordination by moulding animals in the sand 🙂 KG1B love the sand pit!

Math has been different this week! KG1B have started a new book from cavendish education! Now we have started learning how to spot the object that is not the same by matching and colouring the objects that are. We have started to use counters/play dough/ and blocks to count objects and recognise that we can use numbers to count objects. We can answer how many? And recognise re differences in the group sizes
Well done kG1B! We are very proud!

Not forgetting! This week we celebrated our student of the month! Danial was KG1B’s student of the month for December! His energetic personality and positive attitude to sharing is a great influence on the other students.

Metin is KG1B’s student of the month for January!
Metin has shown us how to be well behaved all the time! Metin lines up when asked! Completes his book work. Participates in class. Stays motivated and loves sharing and talking in English! Metin is our role model student and it was an easy choice for us to make him student of the month! We are extremely proud of Metin and his maturity! Well done Metin!
See you next week for a fantastic sports day!

Have a magical weekend!!!
We look forward to seeing all out parents at sports day on Thursday!

KG1B Welcome back!

Welcome back!
What a fantastic start to our new year! With all these new and exciting changes to the PAIS kindergarten KG1B couldn’t wait to get started.
Our new library has officially been finished and we were very excited to put it to use!
Take a look at KG1B exploring the new space 🙂

KG1B were full of excitement and enthusiasm over the new sandpit and we loved digging around and building castles! We even traced our names in the sand! Excellent job! KG1!

We’ve quickly settled back into old routines and have been busy exploring our motor skills. Tracing in the sand and building on our hand skills.

As you all will have seen KG1B gave a fantastic performance on international day and soon the DVDs will be available for you to re live the moment.
What an amazing effort from our tiny little kids!!! And a huge thank you for all your support in making our day as special as it was! Well done KG1B we can’t wait to show you what we’ve got planned for the new semester!

See you soon! Looking forward to a fantastic term ahead!

KG1B week 15

Wow!!! This week has been hectic. We’ve been practicing for international day, prepping decoration, learning about our chosen country, and all the fascinating things that can be found exploring ancient Egypt! 🙂

So we started the week practicing some of our motor skill projects. Pouring water, threading buttons, separating colored beads with chopsticks. Anything to help is get used to using our hands in different ways. We have even started practicing with play dough scissors to prepare us for future cut an paste projects. Growing up so fast kG1B!

Learning about the letter H this week obviously meant having fun with hand print painting! H is for Hand!

Music class this week was led by teacher Jamie. We learnt a new song “Mary had a little lamb” and a how to beat the rhythm out on the percussion instruments! Very enjoyable!

Maths this week was a review of previous learnt vocabulary for shapes. Only instead of doing book work we searched the room for different shaped objects and the completed shape puzzles which required us to stimulate our brains and use or motor skills. We were very found of this maths lesson!

We try’d our hand at baking this week too! Well more like decorating cupcakes baked by teacher Jamie. But it was just as fun! We got messy and sticky using butter chocolate icing and sticking MnM’s on in different shapes. Of course the best part was eating! Our finished cakes! Yum yum!

And of course this week was our KG department field trip! To playtime. KG1B loved playtime! But their favorite station was the sand pit! Teacher Jamie, teacher G.V and P.sim watched in ore as KG1B played silently and and stayed so still! Wow! These little guys can’t sit for 5 minutes without bursting into songs and dances but the Sand put was a WINNER!!!!

We even have some mini race car drivers in our bunch! Driving their motorbikes on the race track! Lena was defiantly out shinning star in this activity!

There was a balloon room that left Daniel and Raafi so overwhelmed with joy they had to have a lye down 🙂 hehe

Not forgetting our painting projects! Playtime let us take them back to school. We are all very excited to show out mums and dads our hard work!

After such a hectic week there is not one thing left to say……
TAKE US BACK TO MONDAY!!!!! So we can do it all over again 🙂

See you next week!!
KG1B wish you a happy weekend.

KG1B week 14

KG1B have had a very exciting week. We practiced using our senses, and talked about how we use them in our daily lives.
This week teacher Jamie introduced motor skill activities to our timetable. Every morning after circle time we now practice using our motor skills through a new kind of center activity. This skills will can be used in our every day life and help us become more independent students. This week we practiced spooning different textured materials, threading beads, and clipping pegs. We had a great time doing these new centers!

This week in phonics we discovered the letter G. What sound it makes and some vocabulary beginning with the letter G. We made and pasted G’s to look like Giraffes. We finger painted the spots on using brown paint.

KG1B were very excited to display their art work.

We decided to see and experience life without having all 5 senses. The students were blind folded and had to use their hands to feel and touch the fruit and try to guess what it was. The students were really excited to play this game.

Outdoor Play has been more creative this week! Joining with KG1A we have been jumping for joy!

We finally got our school pictures back! And what a beautiful bunch we look!

That’s it from us! See you next week! 🙂

KG1B week 13

This week KG1B have been busy learning about our senses. How we see, hear, touch, smell and taste. We’ve been working very hard to understand that we need our eyes to see and our ears to hear. We need our hands to touch and our tongue to taste! Well done KG1B for understanding this new concept! Especially because some of us have been independently discussing our senses during circle time and free play! 🙂

This week our moral story has been “the ugly duckling” we loved watching him turn in to a beautiful swan! We were so Impressed by the story we made our own ducklings! We finger painted them and decorated the lolly pop sticks using sequins and glitter. We even sent them swimming! Who’s duck was the fastest? Of course it was our little athlete Nandini. 🙂 congratulations! Nandi! We look forward to sports day with this little champion on our team.

KG1B had two birthdays to celebrate this week! Our beautiful Liza turned 4! And our handsome baby boy Danish turned 3! Wow! We ate lots of pizza and crisps and had two birthday cakes! KG1A joined us for our birthday celebrations. And teacher Jamie even attempted face paint! The results were spectacular! Everyone had such a great time and left full and content. Take a look…. 🙂

We love sharing our learning experiences with you! And all the fun and games we encounter during our week. Thank you for taking the time to read our blog! See you next week!

Take care
