Subtraction Using Measurement

BubbleShare: Share photos - Find great Clip Art Images.

In Prep class we learned about subtraction using measurement. In the classroom, we poured seven cups of water into a bowl then we poured out two cups of water out of the bowl. Students watched the teacher measuring the water left in the bowl. All students did the experiment individually in front of the classroom under the teachers' supervision.

At different times, we went to the sandpit outside. Here students did the same experiment of measurement using sand. First they filled a bowl with five cups of sand then they poured out three cups of sand. They proved that there were four cups of sand left in the bowl. Students did this experiment individually in the sandpit under the teachers' supervision.

In Math, students say seven minus three equals four. Now Prep students are excited to learn subtraction.

Field Trip to CICO

To support our last theme titled Caring For Our Resources, prep students went to CICO (Conservation Education Lifestyle). There, they got important information about how to save the earth by listening to the presentation about illegal logging and flood, and watching a movie about Orangutan, one of the endangered animals on earth. The students really learned something from that. They know now that keeping a wild animal as a pet is forbidden and they understand the importance of saving the resources on earth. They also had so much fun playing outbond games. They were very excited eventhough physically they were exhausted.

Mr. Doug (School Director), Topas Malino (1st Winner), Bhushan Bliapa (2nd Winner), Cintya Wardani (3rd Winner), and Ibu Rika (PG and TK Principal)

On May 2nd, Sekolah Bogor Raya celebrated its' 13th anniversary and Doug as a School Director felt great pride at the flag ceremony, pride in what the school has accomplished so far. He expect to see the PG and TK full maybe this year, or sometime soon. The theme for the anniversary this year is 'Save The Earth' and the main reason behind the theme is we are concerned about the state of the world that the children will live and work in. How will their quality of life be affected by our exploitation of resources.

All the teachers, school staff, school management, and parents in POMG wore Batik on that day. They were looked different, even the security guys looked particularly elegant in their new 'Batik uniforms'. It is a National Costume and we will wear it again to show our nationality in special occasions such as Kartini's Day.

The children in PG and TK had Bag Painting Competition. They were accompanied by their parents to help them painting the bag related to 'Save The Earth' theme. The Winner for the Bag Painting Competition from Prep A are : Topas Malino (1st Winner), Bhushan Bliapa (2nd Winner) and Cintya Wardani (3rd Winner). These bags can be taken empty when the children go shopping. Then, when the children buy someting, just plunk it into the bag and REFUSE THE STORE'S PLASTIC BAG.

Let's make recycle crafts!

Prep Recycle Craft

For this last theme, Sharing The Planet, Prep students learned to make crafts from old things from home. They made "Elephant Pencil Holders" from old cans and old newspapers, "Under The Sea" collage from old t-shirts and old fabrics, and a toy clock from old CD. We are trying to minimize using new materials. And during the next two weeks we will try to make a bag from old t-shirts.

Let's make recycle crafts! Find some old materials at home which can be useful rather than throwing them away. See you soon!

Kartini Day

April 21 is declared as Kartini Day in Indonesia. Kartini is honored as a "pioneer in the emancipation of women". She fought for women's right to get the same opportunity for schooling as men. To honor her effort, we wore Indonesian traditional costumes and did several activities related to Kartini.

Let's Dance

Prep students danced using balloons.
Prep Students danced using white ribbons.
Prep students did their summative assesment using the utensil they preffered.
From January 7 to Feb 15, 2008 the students expressed their response to music using their bodies and utensils. Teachers provided different utensils every week and expected that students will be able to express their feelings in response to music using their bodies and utensils.
This activity was fun. We could see some students were confident (moved their bodies when the music started) and risk-takers (chose different utensils to express their feelings). The utensils that we used are : balloons, paper flags, ribbon.
At the first week, we introduced the concept by asking the students to use their bodies in response to music. And for the Summative Assesment, teachers asked the students to choose the utensil they preferred to express their feelings in response to the music to fulfill the summative assessment.
