This Week's Learning
Communication and Language with Ms Elizabeth
Guidance- English
Last week you all showed us how to be kind and helpful to find peace. We want to keep up that kindness this week as we explore ways to look after some of our favourite creatures - our pets!
If you have an animal at home, that’s great! If you don’t have a pet, don’t worry! You can use a favourite toy or make a pet to join in with our care, learning and fun!
Session 1:
We are going to help get our pets nice and clean. Can you bring:
A bath or bucket
Soap
Water
Brush
Towel
Session 2:
No need to prepare anything. You’ll be able to do your learning and help your pets with bits around your home.
Please come to our PD sessions in clothes that allow you to move freely. We suggest either wearing your FS2 PE kit, or shorts/trousers and a t shirt. Skirts and dresses, although lovely are not practical for these sessions.

Let’s go movers! This week we will become hockey players and we will play a game called ‘Pom Pom Hockey!’ This is so much fun.
Later on in the week, we will continue to work on our fine motor skills and practice cutting paper to different speeds of music. We will then create our own weaving game.
I am sure you will enjoy all our Physical Development activities next week. So what will you need for our lessons?
Lesson 1-
Masking tape to make hockey goals (4 goals)
Pom Poms (4 colours, but if you have a mix its ok)
1 Hockey stick/broom etc to move the pom poms along
***This is an example of what the weaving activity will look like after it’s finished. Please don’t make it before the lesson, as we will start the process together! ในรูปด้านบนคือหน้าตาของเกมส์ร้อยเชือก อย่าเพิ่งทำเองนะคะ รอทำพร้อมๆกับเพื่อนๆและคุณครูกันค่ะ***
Sensory and Wellbeing with Ms Grace
Guidance- English
I will be sharing this wonderful story which is about a boy who grows a pair of wings! At first he is worried and wants to hide away but then he becomes brave and shares his fantastic wings and gets a brilliant surprise.
Learning Challenge:
I would like you to make a ‘mini me’ or use the one you already have.
You could use the rainbow rice from your resource bag in a tray to add a bit of magic.
Use your imagination to tell the story of what would happen if you grew wings. You could add some small world toys to your tray if you wanted or use junk modelling to make things to go in your tray.
This week, we explored how people can help us through the theme of superheroes. As we lead into our Tiger Spirit Day on the 8th of October, this notion of helping others and kindness will be an umbrella that will oversee many aspects of our small group learning calls. Teaching young children about kindness and how to be kind helps to lay the foundation for them to learn what it is like to put the needs of others before their own. Kindness helps them understand how they can feel empathy towards others and provide help when others are in need. Teaching children how to be kind and perform acts of kindness helps them feel a strong sense of belonging and improves their self-esteem.
What can we do to support our children at home?
Model kindness. The best way to teach our young children how to be kind or what being kind looks like is to model the behaviour ourselves. Say “good morning” or “hello” to people you pass on the streets, open doors for others, give up your seat on the bus or train to a person who needs it more, pick up rubbish on the pavement. These may seem like little things, but young children observe our behaviours.
Talk about kindness. When you see your child being kind, name it. Say things like, “I saw how you gave your brother a hug when he was sad, that was kind of you,” and other statements that help point out how they were kind to someone else.
Perform acts of kindness. Young children may not be able to do this on their own, but they can participate in charity events, help pick up their toys, or other smaller acts like helping with the grocery shopping. The point is they are giving back without expecting anything in return and they are helping people too.
Be kind with words. What you say and how you say it are important. Teach children to say “hello,” “goodbye,” “good morning,” “please” and “thank you,” but also focus on other kind statements, such as, “Nice to meet you,” “How is your day?” “Are you OK?” and “I am glad to see you.” Being kind with their spoken words is one way young children can help others feel better.
We really love to see videos and photos of what you have been doing at home. The best way to share this with us is via the Seesaw App. You should have received communication about how to download and login to the app. If you have not received this, please email the ISIT helpdesk- helpdesk@patana.ac.th.

We hope that you have enjoyed engaging with the FS2 Blog this week.
If you have any concerns or queries about your child’s learning, please do not hesitate to contact your child's class teacher via email. They can then arrange a mutually convenient time to meet via MS Teams. Our class teachers always welcome the opportunity to discuss your child’s needs and progress.
