School update 13-17 Apr

For Practical life exercise, the children were shown the Dressing Frame with Large Button. They were shown how to unbutton and then button all the large buttons on the dressing frame. It proved to be a great challenge to them!


We introduced the letter sound ‘r ’ as in rabbit and Ryan. The children traced the sandpaper letter r while sounding the letter. They were able to utter the sound ‘r’ after the teacher. When the teacher first introduced ‘r’, ‘r’ for Ryan, the children found it amusing and giggled among themselves.


We introduced the shape ‘rectangle’ to the children. The children were shown rectangular objects in the class. And the most exciting moment was when the teacher introduced the rectangular biscuit to them. The children spontaneously said ‘rectangle’ loud and clear. Well done!


The children had their first water play this term. Some were excited and some didn’t want to go into the pool. Mohin, Natalie & Dylan enjoyed themselves splashing away in the water. Caden, Caleb, Markus & Dexton were a little hesitant in the beginning, but decided to join in and had much fun too.


The rest who still refused to enter the pool watched from the side. Perhaps they would take the courage to dip in during the next water play session.
