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 :) 

We went shopping!

We had a fantastic time shopping on Friday. The week leading up to it was based around how to go shopping, what we may find in a supermarket and behaviour in a supermarket. The kids really enjoyed their trip!

Cooking with real vegetables!

 Talking about our favourite vegetables and fruit - then using fine motor skills to string them through to make a banner for the class.

 Making some Mr.Potato heads - we had fun!!!

 Practicing shopping in our own little supermarket.

 Miss.Myshi's bus had a lot of fun singing songs! We even strapped ourselves in tight so that the bumps didn't throw us around!

 We used our shopping list and searched for our items.

 The kids had a lot of fun touching, feeling and smelling the fruit and vegetables.

 After the supermarket trip, we went outside to do a 'sound' and 'sight' walk. The kids saw an aeroplane, a coffee shop and lots of market stands.

 After our trip, we came back to class and chopped up the fruit to make a fruit salad.  Which we then ate at lunch time!! Mmmm... delicious!

We talked about how to use knives safely (we used plastic knives) and how to hold and cut fruit.

As a home activity this week, please practice writing the letter 't' with your child. You can do this by getting them to write it in sand, salt or even on steamed up mirrors in the bathroom. You can also try making it with play dough.
