The Kindergarten 2 children have not only been showing their emotions for toys and friends, but they have also been displaying empathy and responsibility by taking care of 23 silkworms brought in by a parent. These young students have been learning to nurture and look after living creatures, ensuring that the silkworms feel comfortable in their container with mulberry leaves. This hands-on experience is not only teaching them about the life cycle of silkworms but is also instilling a sense of compassion  towards nature at an early age.

In their Unit of Inquiry classes, the Kindergarten 3 children had a lot of fun experimenting with making a recycled bottle car. They were eager to see if the force of the air in a balloon could make the car go. The students had many wonderful ideas of ways in which we could improve our bottle cars and make tweaks to try and get them to move. They also had fun playing with their newly made bottle cars.

The Foundation class was introduced to the song ‘Sound Box.’ The children first looked at four pictures and/or objects that began with the same letter sound contained in a few verses in the song, such as dog, door, dish, and drink. Gradually, students built up the song completely, discussing the beginning sounds of words and enunciating these correctly in each verse and chorus. The children were so excited to sing and open their sound box.

This Kindergarten 1 class continued learning about the concept of ‘music,’ focussing, in particular, on its texture, which refers to the overall sound of a musical piece. It can be thick or thin, busy or sparse, and so on. The texture is also determined by how many instruments are playing, how many different parts there are and the timbre of the instruments playing. Therefore, the students began learning to discern different sounds, trying to determine which one of the heard instruments produced a loud or soft sound. The Kindergarten 1 class became extremely excited when they were asked to produce similar sounds by themselves.

The Kindergarten 2 class continued investigating the elements of music. This week, they focussed on the fourth element, the rhythm, which determines how long or short sounds can be. The children also learned how to control their voices while singing. Furthermore, they were introduced to vocalisation for beginners so as to practise and exercise their voice. The Kindergarten 2 class was absolutely enthusiastic about these vocalisation exercises!
