Kindergarten

Incredible Specialist!

Since Week 6, Kindergarten students have welcomed Ibu Ninggar into our classroom. Ibu Ninggar is our School Counselor who supports us in learning about who we are. Students talked about how they grow by looking at the progression of pictures from baby to child. During Ibu Ninggar’s Personal Development Programme, students learned about the potential people have at different stages in their life (from a newborn until four years old). Students compared a baby’s abilities to their current skills. To enhance students' understanding, Ibu Ninggar assigned activities in our booklet. One of the activities focuses on exploring ways to keep safe when interacting with other people. Students will soon have the opportunity to talk about the different comfort levels concerning physical action to other people or themselves.

Kindergarten students have been joining sessions with our specialist teachers who have lessons integrated with our inquiry unit. The Physical Education session helps students develop their strength through balance and flexibility exercises. Students were risk-takers when they followed the teacher’s directions. Thank you, Pak Dedi, Pak Alwan, Pak Asep, and Ibu Harna for making exercise fun, enjoyable, and safe!

Our school encourages students to respect people of different religious beliefs and to develop a deeper understanding of their religion through class sessions. The photos show how some Kindergarten students learned about personal hygiene in Islam religion sessions, while others learned about respect and Bible stories in the Christian religion session. Catholic students had the opportunity to learn about kindness. A big thank you to our religion teachers Pak Tisno, Ibu Etha, Ibu Mariani, and Pak Eka for teaching us every Monday.

As part of the third language choice at school, some of the Kindergarten students take Mandarin class. In one of the sessions, students learned about the names of body parts in Mandarin and some necessary skills, such as greeting people in Mandarin and counting from 1 to 10. Xie Xie, Lao Tse Julya, for teaching our little ones this beautiful language.
