Things found in the classroom and home
For this month of July, children were taught on things that can be found in the classroom and home. They were asked to identify different things that they can see around their classroom through the activity of the classroom survey that they had to do in pairs. From this activity, the children learnt how to work in pairs and plan before they executed the survey. Co-operation among them also has taken place through this activity.
After identifying the things that can be found in the classroom, they were introduced to the sentence of “I found a...” and each child were given a chance to tell the teacher what they have found around their classroom using the sentence structure, "I found a..."
To see how creative the Kindergarten 1 children can be, I have asked them to paint one thing that they have mentioned previously to their teacher. The children were given a drawing paper and different colours of paint for them to paint their drawings!
Let us see how creative our young artists can be!
First, let me introduced to you to Miss Sunny and Mr Zane. Miss Sunny has drawn a flower pot while Mr Zane drew a plant. We can see that both of these artists have a same preference when asked to draw what they can found in the classroom.

Next, will be our Miss Adora. She drew a butterfly book that she found in the library corner.
Like our artist Miss Adora, Miss Chloe also drew a butterfly book.
Can we say that both of these artists love butterfly so much? We shall find out.
This is Mr Guang Wei who drew a table. He has written Wednesday on the table.
For our artist Mr Cheng Yi, he has drawn the opposite of Mr Guang Wei. He drew a chair. We need a chair for us to sit to draw on the table. That’s a good combination right? One artist drew a table, while another artist drew a chair.
Mr Nicholas and Mr Min drew a storybook and they had a picture of a bee for their front cover. At times, we can see that children have the same idea when they were asked to draw.
Different from Mr Nicholas and Mr Min, Mr Li Wei drew a toy car. He said, “I found a toy car at the block corner”.
Our artists Miss Ignes, Miss Jia Ning and Miss Ivalyn drew something that the other artists might not have seen in the classroom. When I asked Miss Ignes what she found in the classroom, she replied, “I found a picture”. For Miss Jia Ning, she replied, “I found my friends,” and Miss Ivalyn replied, “I found a bee sticker”.
Can you see that not all children really see things the same? Every child is unique in his own way just like my K1 children.
To extend what they have found in the classroom, the children were asked to draw something that they like in their classroom and they will be displayed near the library corner.
This is how it looks after they have finished drawing what they like. They like the projector, whiteboard, pencil, computer, toys, lantern and books in the classroom.
