Early childhood education is a critical period of development for young children, and it is essential to provide diverse and age-appropriate activities and learning experiences to promote their holistic growth. In this article, we will explore the activities and learning experiences in pre-nursery, nursery, and year 1B.
Pre-Nursery
- BIS Book Month and the story of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carl
- Introduction to butterfly's life cycle and story sequence
- Hands-on and art activities to enhance understanding
Pre-nursery is a crucial stage in a child's development, and it is essential to provide a stimulating and nurturing environment for them to learn and grow.
In pre-nursery, activities are designed to enhance children's cognitive, physical, emotional, and social development.
For instance, in April, pre-nursery students participated in various activities for BIS Book Month. They learned the story of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carl and explored the butterfly's life cycle and story sequence. The activities included hands-on and art activities to promote their understanding of the book.
Nursery A
- Theme of spring and related activities such as crafts, music, and art projects
- Exploration of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" story through role-play and making butterfly wings
- Developing communication skills through dialogues and surveys
- Math sessions on addition to ten and twenty
- Encouragement of collaboration and teamwork
Nursery activities are designed to promote language and literacy development, socialization, and cognitive development.
For instance, Nursery A students studied the theme of spring for two weeks, learning about spring terminology and aspects.
They also explored "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" story through role-play and making butterfly wings. Additionally, they practiced communication skills through dialogues and surveys, where they learned more about their friends' preferences, daily schedules, and unique features.
In math sessions, they were introduced to addition to ten and twenty, and they assisted each other in completing addition worksheets.
Year 1
- Focus on learning about the human body and the anatomy of the heart
- Understanding the importance of the heart and its main function
- Mini-experiment to illustrate blood circulation through veins
Year 1 marks the beginning of a more structured and academic approach to learning. Children are taught basic academic skills, including math, science, and encouraged to apply them to their daily lives.
In science lessons, Year 1 students learned about the human body, focusing on the anatomy of the heart. They learned about the heart's importance, its location in the chest, and how it pumps blood throughout the body by means of veins.
In conclusion, early childhood education plays a significant role in children's overall development, and it is essential to provide diverse and age-appropriate activities and learning experiences.
Pre-nursery, nursery, and Year 1 provide different but equally essential learning experiences to promote children's cognitive, physical, emotional, and social development.
