Kg1A – Popcorn !
Assalamu Aleikum!
Today in KG1A we made popcorn! This hands on activity helped the children to notice the difference between raw corn and cooked popcorn. The children managed to point out that when the corn is raw, it’s yellow, hard and small while when it’s cooked, it becomes white, soft and big.
They loved every minute of it and this could be seen from their pleased faces as well as from their squeals of excitement every time the corn popped !
This was a great experience for our younger ones who had the opportunity to distinguish between cooked food and raw food by distinguishing from its colour, texture and taste. A very big. Well Done !

I believe that books are a great tool which helps young minds let their imagination run wild whilst also helping them target all of their areas of development. From various different books, one can abstract different themes which all connect to one book.
Life Science in the Classroom
Live Science in the classroom
One of the Learning Outcomes for the children of Year 1 is to learn about the world around them. This includes the different kinds of animals with which we share the world. One creature we researched and learnt about is the frog and its life cycle. We had LIVE tadpoles in class so that we could get a closer look. The children were fascinated by the tadpoles and they also grasped the idea that a frog goes through many changes from when it is an egg until it becomes an adult frog. This understanding can be seen by a task the children had to complete. The cutting task was another opportunity for the children to strengthen their finger muscles so as to have a more controlled pencil grip and better handwriting. The tadpoles were returned to their pond right after school .
Cooking Apple Pies Year 2 Mr David
Cooking our delicious apple pie. Here are the photos of your children baking an apple pie. It is more of a pudding – its actual name is Eve’s pudding. Every body helped in baking. Some peeled the apples, measured the flour, sugar, oil or baking powder. The flour was passed through the sieve, others cracked open the eggs, others beat the eggs, mixed the ingredients and poured the mixture. This activity is not only an enjoyable activity for the children but also teaches them to follow a set of instructions. You will be receiving the recipe by post in the coming weeks after we write it down in a creative writing lesson. Then as a class we will go to the post office and each student will buy a stamp and post it to your home address. Thanks a lot Ms Clare and Ms Christine for all your help today !!!

Introduction Ms Romina
Assalamo Alaykum and Welcome to Kindergarten 2R.
Kindergarten is one of the first steps towards a child’s educational journey. Research shows that in the first few years of our life we absorb a lot of information. In my classroom I spend time observing each student entrusted in my care. I interact with each child so as to make sure I get to know each child individually. Only after getting familiar with my students abilities, likes and dislikes I am able to plan activities that are according to their interest and abilities. In my class we use ‘The project approach’. The Project Approach refers to a set of teaching strategies which enable teachers to guide children through in-depth studies of real world topics. Topics are chosen according to the interest of the students.
Parents can follow their child learning journey through the class page where photos and videos of the activities are posted.
Thank you for your time.
Ms.Romina
