Aeroplanes in F1

It was another fun week in F1. The children have still been playing in the role-play area and telling everybody they are going to America, Japan, Korea, Singapore and Vietnam. They are visibly using what they have learnt from last week's International Week.

          

This week, we have made tissue tube aeroplanes, stuck shapes on aeroplane stencils and did some painting on big aeroplane pictures in the Fundino playground to support their interest in aeroplanes. 

           

          

We also did model painting of our Duplo aeroplane. It was amazing what the children have came up with! They are amazing!

       

           

Ken, Vivi and Nini had their turn for Show and Tell this week. They shared their favourite toys and books with their friends. Well done! 

         

For our ICT, Mr Tue, our ICT support staff comes in class for 30minutes each week to help us in class. This week, he brought in iPads for the children to play with. They really enjoyed Mr Tue's new App! 

         

In our IWB, we have put up a shape game from busythings.com and most of the children had a go. Austin loved it!

        

A parent from F2 shared the sumo costumes she had from last International week. During our Soft Play Room time, we showed the children how this game in Japan is played. Danny, Gianna, Eine and Marcus bravely volunteered and all of them won in the end! Good job! 

       

       

Well done children for a great week!

EYFS Family Morning

International Celebrations: Day 5

To cap our International celebrations, the children came in today wearing their lovely national costumes. We all then went up the hall and joined TX's annual International parade of costumes. The children walked and waved beautifully to their Mums and Dads. It has truly been a wonderful experience for all of them. Here are some photos from the celebration this morning :) 

Thank you very much to all F1X parents for all your support throughout the week. It has truly been an enjoyable and memorable International celebration for all of us.

We also would like to thank all parents for your generosity during Teachers Day. Thank you very much!

Have a restful weekend, 

Ms Precious, Ms Crislet and all F1 teachers. 

International Celebrations: Day 3

United Kingdom

                        

David and Sarah are both from the UK. To celebrate their nationality, we have made crowns and talked about kings, queens, princes and princesses. We also watched Brave and saw a castle, a king, a queen, a princess and their thrones. 

We also had the International Crafts Fair in the foyer and the International buffet in the canteen. 

With the tokens  the children had, they were able to do craft activities from different countries and buy some clay models, fans and shaped balloons. The children also enjoyed face fainting by Ms Charlie and the other specialist teachers. 

At lunch time, we were able to have a taste of different food from all over the world! The canteen staff offered English food and all parents contributed food from their home countries. We were all very full in the end and we thank you all for the delicious treats!

It was another successful day! Well done F1 for being brave and enthusiastic in joining in these activities!

International Celebrations: Day 4

As we continue with our International celebrations, F1X children learned about Japan and USA today for Mako (Japanese), Marcus (Vietnamese/American) and Minh Anh (Vietnamese/American).

 During our circle time, we watched a video about the rich aspects of the Japanese culture. We then followed it by watching a video about USA and the popular places in its 50 states.

USA

The children all sat beautifully on the carpet as we talked about these countries. At 9:30am, we all made a move going up the hall for our parade rehearsal. The children are learning to walk in a line and tomorrow, they might wave to Mums and Dads as they walk around the hall wearing their national costumes. We are all looking forward to see them wearing their lovely national costumes :)

International Celebrations: Day 2

What a busy day it is as we continue with our International Celebrations. Today, we focused on learning about Malaysia (Nini) and Thailand (Eine).

Malaysia

Thailand

Ms Precious showed a video of the different special places that people can visit in Malaysia whilst Ms Crislet show a video of a traditional Thai dance called 'Kinnari Veena'. After watching the dance video, the children also had a go at dancing. They have been moving their arms up and down, flicking their hands and twirling too! Most children joined in very well. 

Today, we also visited the Vietnamese room upstairs to know more about Vietnamese Culture. This year's theme is Hanoi. The children had a go at looking at the different costumes, fruit, money, paintings, flowers and other important facts. Just before we finished, the children had a go at having their photos taken with the traditional costumes.

By the end of the morning, we then decided to have a look at the different country displays that the parents prepared in the foyer. The children looked at various things from different countries and named familiar objects. 

To add more fun to our busy day, the afterrnoon children went up to the hall to do some 'Bollywood' dancing. The children had so much fun dancing to the music and was able to copy some of the dance steps. 

It has been indeed another learning-filled day in F1X. Tomorrow, we will continue to know more about lots of different countries. How exciting! :)
