This Week in Prep 1
In Language Arts we learned our Jolly Phonic /Tt/ and our Cafe strategy, 'Spinner the Spider'. We also explored our writing corner, and began writing notes and letters to our friends and teachers (just in time for Valentine's Day)! In Mathematics we worked on counting and writing our numbers from 1-10. We had a fantastic time learning using such 'hands-on' resources such as play-dough, number tiles, numbers cards and teddy bear counters! The Chinese New Year puppet show was also a huge hit. The children enjoyed the visual feast as the master puppeteers weaved wonderful tales for the children during our Prep Assembly.
Thank you to all of the parents who were able to attend the 'Year Ahead' meeting on Tuesday. We hope you found it informative and helped you to better understand the Early Years curriculum at SJIIES. We are very excited for a wonderful year of celebrating the children's learning and creating a strong school-parent relationship. Please have a wonderful Chinese New Year holiday!
