New Unit of Inquiry ; Super Senses

We will start our second unit of inquiry, of this school year. Super senses! It is a very interesting and hands-on theme to work on. I love it and the children, for sure, will love it too!

5 Senses Poem

We use five senses every day
To help us learn and play.
See, hear, smell, touch, taste.
We do these every day.

Birthday parties

One of our princesses got older! She is 6 now!

Our community helpers are (from left to right): police officer, taxi driver, builder and astronaut.

Early Years Student led-conference

Our first student led-conference was very successful! Most of the parents attended and the children felt tremendously proud by leading their parents around school and by showing them everything. We will be doing more of this throughout the year!

Show and tell 3

Show and tell 2

Very shy kids, don't you think?

Show and tell 1

Children at their first show and tell: parent's occupation. The task was to explain, more or less, one of their parent's job as a (or not), community helper. It went quite well, for the first time!

The Traffic Police visit

The Traffic Police came for a visit.
The children now know how to cross the road in safety!

Kids at Role Play

Our different role play stations and children playing doctors and firefighters. This unit was very successful in terms of role playing. I've enjoyed observing the kids learning about life situations!

Children Playing = Learning

Children are still engaged in more language games. Reading words, matching pictures and sight words bingo. Fun!

Role Play and Language

Playing in the Post office and the children playing some of the language games during our shared reading time.

In the Post Office

We went to the post office in Glattzentrum, to send the letters to the mothers where we told them that on our last unit day, we need to come dressed up as our favourite community helper.
