This week, the Nursery 1 students learnt the names of the different parts of the plant/flower. For our latest craft, we were inspired to create something unique using all the beautiful leaves and flowers found around us and in our school garden. We read the book - Flower Garden by Eve Bunting and Lois Ehlert’s Planting a Rainbow to help children understand how to plant bulbs, seeds, and seedlings, and nurture their growth. All in the direction of exposing children to more vocabulary and words recognition with hands on activities.
We have been conducting picture talks each morning, viewing and talking about the different aspects of Mid Autumn Celebrations around the world. We also watched a video on why people celebrate Mid Autumn Festival; the story of Chang Er. In addition, we tried Pomelo and Chinese tea! These are the two types of food that are eaten during the festival. The children all gave breaking open the Pomelo a try and thoroughly enjoyed eating it! The Chinese tea was a hit too! We’re now working on our photo frames as during Mid Autumn Festival, family reunion is a big theme as well so we’re learning about family and who makes up our family. It’s been a fruitful week indeed, we can’t wait to see what next week brings!
Making and sharing mooncakes is one of the hallmark traditions of this festival. In Chinese culture, a round shape symbolizes completeness and reunion. Thus, the sharing and eating of round mooncakes during the week of the festival signifies the completeness and unity between one another. In Pegasus we embrace cultural diversity and value every individual as they are!!
At Pegasus, we believe in giving parents the chance to step in and connect with their child's academic and social life.
While general involvement such as parent/teacher communication can be of help, direct parental involvement typically provides even greater preschool success.
Communication naturally improves between parents and teachers with preschool parental involvement. It allows parents and teachers to work together on how to implement learning techniques.
They can also collaborate to create cohesive strategies for discipline to prevent problems before they arise. All of this provides parents the opportunity to have more frequent and meaningful discussions focused on their child’s preschool education.
We had organised an activity on creating a garden costume together with their mum/dad as a finale of our holiday programme. After which we had a fashion show where our little ones walked down the aisle flashing their unique self made costumes that were derived from recycled materials.
Adding plants to our little spaces can stimulate the senses and foster our innate need to be in nature.
But imagine for a moment that you are walking through a field of wildflowers. Close your eyes to strengthen your other senses, and maybe even take a deep, cleansing breath. When you take that breath, there is a certain element that elevates the experience even further. The scent of those wildflowers that fills your nose is an integral sensory cue. A similar phenomenon can easily be brought to your space by infusing it with natural scents.
Our little ones created scent bags for their loved ones with fresh and dried flowers with their chosen essential oils. The entire experience was indeed therapeutic as it was a calm and composed moment as they stayed focus with the aid of the aromatic atmosphere that surrounded them.
If you prefer a setting where the child is viewed as being capable of steering and directing their own learning process, then Pegasus International Preschool is the one. Our Inquiry-based Learning Philosophy supports holistic development through quality social interaction which is achieved through our Low Teacher-Child Ratio whereby observations and documentation are essential tools our educators are equipped with to showcase our students’ progress in learning.
Take a ride in our school bus to our aesthetically pleasing Reggio Emilia inspired environment nestled in the heart of Novena where our approach is both child-centred and directed to promote an effective and meaningful learning experience even for the youngest child in our care.
We believe that a child's driving sense of curiosity, along with their inherent potential, and the environment as the third teacher are integral parts of driven learning. The immersion programme has positively impacted us to emerge as one of the top preschools in Singapore offering a kindergarten as well as a childcare through its customised and planned schedule.
Our Trilingual Innovative Approach to teaching Japanese, Mandarin and English fosters a positive impact on linguistic, cognitive and intellectual development in our students. Our students emerge naturally flexible and easily adaptable through the experiences of diversity.
Our unique programme strikes a balance of age appropriate experiences as well as enrichment to keep your little ones enthusiastically engaged. We promote healthy eating habits serving generous portions of organic vegetables, white and brown rice as well as wholemeal bread.
