A community is a place where people live, work and play together.
Our school community is a place where students, parents, teachers and support staff work together to provide a holistic learning environment for the students. Of course, there is play involved, too.
The students spent time reflecting on who they know and don't know, in our school community. Some of them recognised faces that they see and talk to, everyday. Some knew what the community member does, but did not know their name or where to find them on the school campus.
So, we embarked on a walk around the school campus to put some faces to the names, and vice versa.
As the active inquirers that they are, in groups, the students conducted face-to-face interviews with their chosen school community member to gather information about their role and responsibilities in our school.
Before the interviews took place, the groups spent time practicing how to conduct an interview.
Naturally, some of the preschoolers were quire nervous for the interview process but they showed that they are developing their risk-taking skills. The preschoolers are becoming very capable communicators.
Next week, the students will spend time analysing the information that they gathered in their interviews.
Posture class with Mr Didier
The students jumped at the chance to do a few activities with Mr Didier, to practice good posture. Thank you, Mr Didier for helping us remember to sit and stand in ways that support our strong, growing bodies!
Farewell, butterflies!
Two out of our three chrysalides emerged this week as butterflies! The students jumped for joy as they witnessed one of the butterflies take flight. We hope that they enjoy their lives out in nature. We now await the last chrysalis to emerge as a butterfly.
Enjoy your weekend, everyone!
