The magic of role-play

Our Vision

UDIS inspires internationally-minded, balanced 

learners who thrive and become active global citizens.

The magic of role-play

We have been talking about different countries, cultures and traditions. Learners have developed a great interest in finding countries and looking at maps closely. Have a look at some of our learners' role-playing the experience and bringing it to life.

This week in UOI

Family stories (connection)

We traveled around New Zealand to find out their customs and traditions. We learnt Haka dance and why they do it. 

Sports in New Zealand

- Rugby and Cricket

We had fun exploring these two sports- It was a lot of fun!

Thank you to Mr Kane for sharing some great information about New Zealand

Caring for the natural environment develops our understanding of the needs of living things (causation)

This week we started looking at seeds- Learners observed that seeds come from plants and trees. They were trying to understand why some seeds are big and some are small? Can we plant and see what happens to them?

We then observed a living plant and a dead plant

Our observation:

- Maybe a dead plant need water?

We are now beginning to show confidence in recognising numbers 1-10 and 11-12We played several games to count numbers - We also looked in to separating two objects to find the total number.This week we looked into number 7
