Week3
15/09/2022
Dear KG2 Families,
What an amazing and busy week we had.
We had lots of fun with our friends during our choice times and engaged in a variety of learning/play invitations like painting, constructing, lego, cutting and playing with playdough.
We continued to focus on our names with a new learning engagement called “Star Name”. This week’s star names were Lama, Al Muzn, Al Waleed , Amna ,and. Fatma . We have analyzed their names. We talked about how many and which letters they have in their names, how to form their names and we focussed on their initial letters. Each child attempted to write star names and drew a picture of the star child. Then we bound these pages together and made a special book for our star children. Lama, Al Muzn, Al Waleed , Amna ,and Fatma enjoyed being our star names for this week.
We have also kicked off our first unit of inquiry with a thinking routine (See, Think, Wonder). We modeled this routine for children, then asked them to contribute to our discussions. Some children were happy to share their thinking. Some decided to observe. We will continue to use various thinking routines in order to make children’s thinking visible.

Have a lovely weekend,
Mrs AlJabri and Ms Fatma
