Most of the children have just come back to the kindergarten and are reminding themselves how to navigate their environment. In light of this, the week has been one of play; learning to share, to play together, and to be considerate of others. Having spent the past few months in lockdown, it was important for us to get the children back to a seemingly normal routine where they feel comfortable and confident in them being here.
Flashcards, flashcard games, interesting videos, and other exciting media were used to reintroduce vocabulary learning, and themed paper crafts, scissor work, and writing exercises also helped with fine motor skills practice.
Preschool
Over the next few weeks, Preschool will be preparing for their upcoming YLE exams. The children will be doing a mix of Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking exercises to get ready. We encourage you to support them by exposing them to online resources found here:

Final Note!
Spending time with your children at home and asking about their day is not only a great way to bond, but a valuable educational step. Cameras in the class rooms may allow you to see what happens, but a child’s perception is considerably different.
Spend a part of your day conversing with them about what they have done, how they felt, and what they would have liked to do and it may surprise you!
