Week 3 – It’s A Jungle Out There!
Age 2 to 4
It was so wonderful to start a jungle adventure with children at the third week of BIS Early Years Summer Camp. This week has been a rich and busy one for all of us. It was so much fun for our children as they learnt new exciting things about the jungle, jungle animals and various types of wild animals. One of our favorite ways to kick off the jungle week was creating our own DIY jungle scene in the classroom with construction blocks and different kinds of loose parts!

On Wednesday we reflected about the explorations during the last two days and then their idea of a role-play emerged. With teachers’ guide and motivation, children worked in teams to finish creating explorer’s outfit and stage properties, which stimulated children’s participation, and they learned how to express their ideas to team members in order to improve collaborative abilities. On Thursday children drew animals and their footprints that they were interested in according to their own preferences.
The activity not only exerted their imagination and creativity, but also improved their observation ability, concentration and literacy. During the practice of role-play, every child had to pay attention, practice their lines and movements. This helps them improve their abilities in all aspects such as listening, speaking, self-expression and teamwork.
On Friday children had the assembly with another two Little Stars groups. They overcame their inner fears and tensions, they tried their best on the stage. Stage performances play an important role in building their self-confidence. This will also encourage them to continue to try in the future.
