Around the world - India and Mexico

We had another great week learning about India. The kids enjoyed reading the book  'Counting through India' - they learnt about the Taj Majal, Rangoli, Mehndi, elephants and all about how people dress in India.

The kids also enjoyed role-playing; building a train track through India and flying on a plane to India!

Since there will be no Blog next week, here is a snippet of what we have been doing this week. Our country for International Day is Mexico!

The kids are enjoying learning about the traditional clothes, food and music of Mexico. Here they are making themselves into poncho/hat wearing Mexicans. They thought they looked very funny and couldn't stop giggling when they saw their faces on the door!

We also made some Tacos - the kids learnt a lot about how to make Mexican food. They are really excited to try out some real food on Friday!

Finally, here they are doing some free playing. 

As a home activity, you can play this cooking game with your kids. There are many choices between fajitas, tacos and other Mexican food.

Making Fajitas

Enjoy! :)

Around the World - Japan

The kids loved our new topic. They had lots of interesting stories to tell about flying and travelling. Our first country of focus was Japan and the kids enjoyed learning about the food, seasons, clothing and houses in Japan.

Have a look at what we got up to, last week.

First, we learnt about the type of food in Japan and we made some sushi plates.

Then, we learnt about the seasons in Japan and what happens to the trees during each season. 

We had a lot of fun building our airport. And we learnt a lot of things such as what we need to fly, how to go through an airport and the options we get once on a flight. The kids had so much fun role playing!

Pailin was a fantastic security guard/bag scanner!

Irene served the passengers some tea and buns. 

We worked hard to make our plane look beautiful!

Mai was great at the ticket  counter. 

Namnoon really enjoyed giving his friends boarding passes. 

EQ ate on the plane. 

Lucy made a "frapuccino" for the passengers on the plane. 

Nari was great at making sure her boarding pass and passport stayed safe in her carrier bag. 

Mai made sure Nari had her passport before boarding the plane. 

Mungkorn scanned Ploen's bag before letting her on the plane. 

Lucas and Ploen took turns at being the pilot. 

This week, our book is about numbers. So, as a home activity, please ask your child to practice writing numbers. You can start with 1, 2 and 3. Please send me photos so that I can see how well they're progressing at home. 

Thank you :)
