Transport - trains, cars, buses!

Last week, the kids had a great time coming up with a lot of role play ideas from what they had already learnt the week before. We encourage role play and imagination in the classroom because it allows children to apply newly learnt knowledge to the real world. They take on a persona whereby they make decisions, lead and work in a team. It also helps children improve their spoken English as they are interacting with peers and keeping a 'story' going by responding back and forth.

"I saw a house and dog on my magic train ride!"

"I see tree and cat."

"Baby too sick to go on the train... this is doctor."

We asked the kids what they saw on their train ride and asked them make up stories of what was happening in each area. 

The kids enjoyed making trains and cars using shapes - they used their mental image of trains/cars and brought it out onto paper. I was very impressed!

The boys enjoyed constructing train tracks and building cars. This requires fine motor balance and I am impressed at how well they are developing in this area.

We are getting better and better at writing here at KM! Thanks for all the practice you are doing at home.

In order to continue writing practice, please try the letter 'g' at home. Today, Ploen told me that her sister taught her how to write the letter 'm' - I can see that it has benefited her because she was able to draw the moon and then copy out 'm-o-o-n'. This activity is a great way to get older siblings to help.

Here is the video - Letter 'd' writing practice.
