Enhancing Literacy in the Classroom

Weekly Blog

November 12, 2019

Hi there!

Over the past weeks, the children from the Butterfly room have been practicing their pre-writing and writing skills. Pre-writing tasks such as learning how to grasp a pencil and manipulate their fingers are essential in gaining mastery in writing. The older children are also learning to write in Chinese and English. Soon enough, they'll be confident (Bilingual) little writers!

Last week, the Butterfly kids went to the library to search for books pertaining to our theme on 'Healthy Eating'. And as we had time to spare, they were given some free time to pick out their own books to read with their friends. We also read the signs around the library - Can you tell what this sign means?

The Cocoons and Caterpillars went to Kadoorie Farm last week to look for 'Farm Animals' but we ended up with more than what we bargained for! We saw many animals like pigs, deers, flamingoes! We shared our delicious snacks with our friends before heading back to school 'coz remember? Sharing is caring! ;)
