Starting with the book story "Polar Polar, What Do You Hear?", the children in the EY1 embarked on an exciting journey to explore the winter season.
Through the story book, the children learned the characteristics of polar bears. They developed a strong interest in the polar bear characters and expressed their love for them through role-playing games. The children also engaged in a "Save the Animals" game where they listened, touched, and observed to tap on ice blocks to find and rescue the animals trapped inside.
The children showed and expressed their understanding of the story in different ways. For example, they used cotton to decorate the polar bears, highlighting their furry and thick coats, making them even more adorable. The children also used coloured paper to create the skins of various animals.
To provide the children with a deeper understanding of the polar bear's habitat, we constructed a winter snow house in the classroom. We also simulated a snowy winter scene, allowing the children to enjoy activities such as building snowmen, having snowball fights, and experiencing the joy of throwing snowballs on the playground.
At our Winter Party with parents, the children also made gingerbread cookies and decorated little snowmen. During the activity, the children learned baking skills and tasted delicious cookies.
The children explored different colours and shapes and engaged in animal sorting activities based on their external attributes.
During the early stages of childhood, children explore the world through their senses. They are naturally curious and enjoy using their senses to experience the world around them. In this exploration activity, the children tried painting on “snow”. They used flour, brushes, and paint to create their own colours on the “white snow”.
The children experimented by mixing natural materials such as mud, sticks, and leaves together.
They also participated in another interesting activity called Smashed Balls, where the children were excited to witness the mixing of colours.
These activities allowed the EY1 children to develop a deeper understanding of winter while engaging with nature.
