Overview

Watch & read

Week Ten blends creativity, imagination, physical movement, and gratitude into a joyful and well-rounded learning experience. Students begin with Shadow Play, exploring how their bodies create shapes and shadows while experimenting with movement, light, and creativity. This sensory-based activity encourages body awareness, teamwork, and communication as children share and describe their shadow creations. They then shift into imaginative thinking with My Dream Job, drawing and discussing the careers they’d love to have one day, helping students connect personal interests with future aspirations in a fun and expressive way.

‍

The week continues with high-energy engagement through Five Little Monkeys, a playful, fitness-focused sing-along that gets students moving, balancing, stretching, and acting out the rhyme with enthusiasm. The week concludes on a heartfelt note with a Gratitude Letter to a Friend, where students write simple, meaningful letters expressing appreciation for someone special. Together, these activities support creative expression, physical coordination, emotional development, and gratitude. Week Ten offers opportunities for children to imagine, move, connect, and reflect, building confidence, kindness, and joy through meaningful play.
