PRE-Kindergarten News vol.5 This week we discovered what sand feels, looks and sounds like. We did our best to expand our vocabulary related to our Unit of Inquiry. The words : scratchy, rough, cool, brown, runny, it rattles should be known to Pre-K students. We made our first musical instruments - sand maracas and used them to illustrate the rhythm. We also had an enjoyable sand discovery time and were able to make sand timers, castles, sand cakes, sand writing boards and pipelines. Next week we would like to start studying features of water and observing how sand can interact with water. That is why **we may need some extra change of clothes**…although we will use aprons for the experiments.

Outdoor and Indoor experimental fields.

For the past three weeks we have learnt to: wash our hands, walk in pairs, wait in a line, listen to a teacher, choose an activity we want to focus on, help others and many many other good social skills J

News From the Art Class: Pre-K students learnt about colors, lines and the shapes for the last 3 weeks. They have created art using geometric shapes. These art works are displayed in the Pre-K class. From next week, the students will make an Autumn sculpture on Friday 23 September. Please collect some natural materials such as pine cones, sticks(branches), acorns, and fallen leaves from the park or your garden. If you have some fallen leaves please keep them in a book when you bring them. If you have not done with your child, she or he will use some of extra materials at the school.
