Numbers can be fun!

We had a great week, last week. One of the highlights included how well the kids are learning to represent numbers, some can even add and subtract. We did some fun activities to assess their abilities.

The first was to look at the number next to the Octopus tentacles and place the correct number of rings (using play dough).

 The second was to look at the number on the card and to put the correct number of fish into the ocean. The kids learnt that + means 'to add together' and they did very well with this activity. They then had to count the number of fish and find the correct number to put in front of the = sign.

 Mai enjoyed this so much that she wanted to practice writing the numbers in front of her!

We opened an ice-cream shop by the seaside and the kids loved role-playing in this area. It was a great way to get them talking more, in general and to each other.

Pailin: "I get chocolate!"

Nari: "My one is strawberry" 

What are you going to buy Mungkorn?

"I want lemon one!!"

Nari: "Do you want strawberry or chocolate?"

Mai: "And do you want cone or stick?"

"Miss.Myshi, I got ice-cream - mmm yummy yes!"

We had two very hard-working shop keepers!

Arthur: "I want cone!"

To end off our week, we had our Kindergarten dress-up party. It was a great day and the two classes had so much fun socialising and trying out new toys/activities!

Mai, EQ and Arthur practiced their cutting skills while making superhero badges. 

The girls enjoyed role playing in the ice-cream parlour!

Mungkorn, Lucas and SunLee made a superhero city. 

Totem worked on rescuing animals and people from frozen ice. 

Lexie made a very long train!

Gap and Namnoon made some food for lunch :) 

 To end off the day, we combined the classes and then divided them into groups. Each group had to build the biggest superhero city by working together as a group! They all did so well that they won some chocolate coins and jelly at snack time :)

 We then came back to our own class with lots of new ideas to try out. The kids loved making our very own ice-cream parlour. Linin was the first to be our shop keeper.

Ploen said "I happy to come back to school!" 

As a home activity, I would like to ask the kids to practice packing their own bags. And then to unpack their own bags in school. Here are the five main steps to follow: 

1/ Take your cap out of your bag. 

2/ Take your water bottle out. 

3/ Take your milk out and write your name on it. 

4/ Look at the pictures above the boxes and put your belongings away. 

5/ Zip up your bag and put it away nicely. 

Promoting such independence will help the kids in the long run. 

Thank you for your support.
