Week 21 - October 3rd 2025

Hello, Orca Class families!

Morning & Afternoon Meeting

This week has truly been such a special and meaningful one as we celebrated Literacy Week 2025 in school.  Our day started having a guessing game of our classroom rules wherein the teacher shared an example of a misbehavior and what classroom rule should we use to correct our behavior. Everyone were so good at telling which rule should be used.  Our morning meetings this week were truly meaningful! Then, we started singing good morning song wherein we formed a circle and danced together as we say hello to everyone. It was such a joy seeing them laughing and holding each others' hands to begin our day. It was followed by checking our calendar time, assigning class jobs, doing a movement song and sharing about our whereabouts through our Class Dojo photos.

In the afternoon, we continued our Term 2  Show and Tell  this week. It was wonderful that our friends' different objects and photos about their favorite sports or games from Blue group. It was engaging and meaningful as we tried to guess what our friends brought/showed. Our friends even asked a lot of question such as the shape, color, size, where we can it be played. Next week , it will be Red group's turn. We ended our day through reading a storybook and singing a goodbye song.

        

Literacy Week

As we kickstarted our Literacy Week, each day, we read different books from famous authors around the world. These are the books we have read and the activities we did: The Little Mermaid (Usborne version)- mermaid necklace making, Pete the Cat and His Magic Sunglasses - decorate my own sunglasses, If You Give A Mouse A Cookie by Laura Numeroff- a cookie playdough making/sensorial activity, How to Catch A Star by Oliver Jeffers - Catch A Start Painting activity, and a library visit at Izumi campus. Each day was truly filled with lots of fun activities even on our last day as we went to the Izumi campus for a storytelling, sequencing activity, and sweet potato harvesting! It was fun how Orcas tried to dig lots of sweet potatoes and pulling the grown plants. They were so excited to look for lots of sweet potatoes and others even tried to dig for roly pollies and earthworms! Truly, a wonderful Literacy week celebration at school!

    

    

Kinder Read To Us

A special time for Kinder this week as each one of them got a chance to read to every class their favorite Raz-Kids books! They felt proud after being able to read to them. In fact, some of them even asked if they could read to more classes too! Our Kinder students were so delighted and becoming more confident readers! Great milestone, Kinder students!
