Week 32 - December 18th, 2025

Hello, Orca Class families!

Morning & Afternoon Meeting

Our morning meetings this week were truly engaging and 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.  This week too, we had our Morning assembly in the Big Room and opened up about our Winter party event this week. Hence, today was our Winter party and our Last Day for Term 2. In this blog, you will be able to view some snippets from our party held a while ago. 

In the afternoon, we continued our Term 2  Show and Tell  this week. It was wonderful that our friends' different objects and photos about something from our Winter from Blue  group. It was engaging and meaningful as we tried to guess what our friends brought/showed. Our friends were so curious and guessed a lot of winter things that the knew. Next year , we will not have our Show and tell, thus, we will have it the week after. We ended our day through reading a storybook and singing a goodbye song.

Language & Literacy

Pre-K

For this week, we talked about our Raz-Kids book entitled, "A Cold Day" and did a phonics worksheet related with Raz-Kids. We described the pictures and read aloud the words with everyone. Then, we did a review week through revisiting the phonics we learned and continuously singing our phonics song and vowels song to enhance our phonics recognition.   In addition, we did a horse craft to anticipate for our New Year's celebration. 

Kinder

To jumpstart our Literacy time , we talked about our Raz-Kids book entitled, "A Cold Day". To assess our reading comprehension and to enhance our reading fluency , we did our phonics booklet that included phonics recognition, CVC word spelling and matching simple sentences to pictures to assess their reading comprehension.

Maths

Pre-K

For the last week of term 2 we took some time to review previously covered topics, mainly focusing on addition and shape identification. This gave us the opportunity to make winter related crafts such as snow globes (identifying them as spheres) and making booklets dedicated to understanding cuboids.

Kinder

For the last week of term 2 we reviewed previously covered topics, revisiting some of our favorites such as currency and 3D shapes. These topics allotted us the opportunity to role-play shopping at a conbini and make winter related crafts such as a snow man (identifying the body parts as spheres, it's nose as a cone, and hat as a cylinder). We supplemented our studies with additional activities provided by Twinkl.

Winter Party

Topic Exploration

This week may feel a little bit colder but our adorable Orcas had made our classroom filled with so much energy, warm smiles and overflowing love! We are so grateful to end this Term with each one of them and witnessing their growth. 

This week, we also had made our horse craft for the upcoming New Year!

Our topic for this revolved around Winter Wonderland. We made different crafts and today for our Winter Party we had a day-filled with lots of fun and collaborative activities. We had a Gingerbread House making with 2 groups mainly Pre-Kinder and Kinder. This is our first time for our Orcas as we want them to bond and collaborate within the same age group too. It was fascinating to see their unique ideas! Next, we also had Snow Globe shakers craft, Dancing Balloon and free play at the Big Room. In the afternoon, we had our Show and Tells followed by our anticipated Movie Time on Curious George. Everyone loved munching on their snacks and popcorn while watching in our classroom. In fact, we finished all our 4 packs of popcorn! 

Free Play

Here are some more pictures of friends playing together in the classroom, in the Big Room, at the park, and enjoying other topics, events and activities at school.
