Inquiry


After the winter vacation, we started to focus on "How we express ourselves". Subtopics of this theme are music, dance, art, drama and different cultures' celebration. During study of these topics, we also prepared year end performance with these subtopics. We decided first choice of drama for year end performance,  the story is "We are going on a bear hunt". Last week, we decided how we will perform the story. In this manner, children are singing the story as group and they are playing various instruments. 













We decided some instruments such as xylophone, castanet, triangle, maracas, snare drum and large drum. We checked their sounds and tones. We discussed placement of instruments in story respect to how they conveyed feelings to us. Everybody chose their instrument and we started our rehearsals. 


Snow play

After snowfall, we met with sunny weather and played with snow at outside. We had so much fun. 













Center time

We prepared various centers such as play-doh, kinetic sand, rice and chickpeas, feel the cups, alphabet, art and creative centers.Students played at these centers together for collaborative working, sharing and team work skills.
