Thoughtful Planners: put in place a plan to support the enhancement of your daily teaching and learning practices
Responsive Facilitators: adopt your plan and observe, document and assess your teaching and learning with children
Reflective Practitioners: reflecting on your current practices through observing, documenting and assessing children's learning
Collaborative Partners: collaborating with other educators to discuss to improve teaching and learning practices of self and the centre

This will lead you back to repeat the cycle.

Important:

Teachers to ensure review is carried out BEFORE curriculum meeting
Teachers to embrace an open-mind to share and to learn; be an active participant to discuss and to contribute to Padlet
Teachers to take ownership of their own growth as an educator with support

课程会议每月举行一次，以支持您作为教育者的角色：

深思熟虑的规划者：制定计划来支持增强您的日常教学和学习实践

响应式促进者：采用您的计划并观察、记录和评估您对儿童的教学和学习 

反思实践者：通过观察、记录和评估儿童的学习来反思你当前的实践

I understand that teaching and learning are influenced by the physical, temporal, and psychosocial environments. The physical environment is about the classroom space and materials, which should be safe and inviting for children to explore and learn. The temporal environment is how time is managed through routines and schedules, giving children structure and enough time for different activities. The psychosocial environment is the social and emotional climate, where positive relationships and support help children feel safe and confident. When these three environments work together, children can learn better and enjoy the process.
As a new teacher, I am guided by the idea that children learn best in a safe, caring, and fun environment. In my planning, I think about their needs, interests, and abilities, and I follow the learning goals and routines that support their growth. I also make sure there are chances for play, exploration, and building positive relationships.

为了提升幼儿的专注力和逻辑思维。我放了不同程度的拼图。。。引导孩子玩耍。。。效果很好。。我为孩子准备了水笔彩画。有趣的图画纸。来培养幼儿手眼协调能力。小肌肉的能力。。。通过书包手偶讲故事等方式。。培养幼儿的语言能力。

I understand that the physical environment is how the classroom is setup, whether the materials are interesting and safe for the children. The temporal environment is how the time is managed. For example, routines and how the schedule are carried out, how long or short are the various activities. The psychosocial environment includes the children's emotional climate, where they feel safe, and can trust their teachers. What guides me is ensuring children's needs are met and that they are safe, and that they have the opportunity to play and explore.

Physical is about classroom layout - well organised space to promote active exploration & focus

Temporal is about how time is managed - duration of lesson / routines affects children’s energy & attention.

Psychosocial is about the feeling & relationships within the classroom - safe , friendly & supportive ? Affects children’s emotions.

Based on children’s interest.

One thing that I have done is to use story mania such as the three little pigs houses, and the pictures of the children to allow them to recognise where to sit.

It works for some children, and does not work for some. For example, some children are able to recognise their own photo and sit down throughout the lesson such as Idris, Rinabelle, Xin yue, Emma, and Ryder sometimes Erwin and Mirzayne. However it does not work work some such as Fatih and Abigail.

What can be done better is to reinforce the seating so that children are better able to recognise where they should sit. And another thing to improve on is it spread it out slightly as it might be too close together.

I include children in creating the dramatic play, from painting the house, pasting twigs on twigs house and creating bricks for the brick house. The children were able to relate the objects that they had made during retelling of the story.

I’d like to change the layout of the classroom, specifically the library corner. As the current position is near the kitchen hence there’s a lot movement, causing the kids not being able to focus. Moving it into the classroom near PNC group A will be a better location as it’s quieter and lesser movement. Through this new implementation, hopefully it will help the kids to be more focus and read better.

I enlarged the poster display on the wall used during circle time to make it more visible for the children. This way, they can clearly see and engage with it, allowing them to learn from their environment more effectively. Instead of just looking at the poster randomly, they can now refer to it regularly during circle time, helping reinforce what they’re learning. As we know, some children are visual learners, so having clear and accessible visuals supports their understanding and memory.

What helps make small group time meaningful and effective for both children and teachers?

learningvisionttsh — 2025-11-06 08:33:52 UTC

Choose the factors that best describe a successful experience in your classroom.

learningvisionttsh — 2025-11-06 08:34:44 UTC

Think of a small group activity that didn't go as planned. Select 2 factors that made it challenging.

learningvisionttsh — 2025-11-06 08:35:29 UTC

One insight I gained about small group facilitation.

learningvisionttsh — 2025-11-06 08:38:14 UTC

One change i'll make in planning or supporting small groups.

learningvisionttsh — 2025-11-06 08:38:48 UTC

Spotted a structure? Jot it down. What helped the session flow smoothly? How were the listed factors shown in the video? What other observation were made?

learningvisionttsh — 2025-11-07 00:14:29 UTC

Select 2 small group activities from your activity plan. Modify the activities to improve it based on factors relating to activity and child readiness. Share your "before" and "after" on how you have modified it.

Involving the children in the process of setting up the classroom makes the children feel valued and a sense of belonging. Children also understand the curriculum better when they involved themselves in preparing it, exploring the concepts and make connections to their learning.

I learnt that we need to continuously find ways to enhance our environment to allow children to learn better. By trying to change we can see how some things may work and sometimes things do not. For example, by adding the visual cues, the children knew where to sit which was good, but after some time, the children would get upset if someone else is sitting on their picture. By finding ways to improve the environment, it not only help the children to learn better, but also help the teacher manage the class better.

Enlarging the poster display proved to be an effective strategy in supporting children’s learning and engagement. This allowed children to easily see pictures, words, and symbols, helping them follow discussions more confidently. This adjustment highlighted the importance of considering children’s physical environment and visual needs when planning learning experiences.

Meaningful indoor and outdoor environments provide children with safe and engaging spaces to explore, move, and learn through play. Environments that is being thoughtfully rearranged support sensory exploration, confidence, and early development.

在户外玩气球，滚球活动，让幼儿的大小肌肉得到一定的训练。同时也训练了手眼的协调能力。
