Tsukuba International Preschool

It’s hard to believe winter vacation is almost upon us!

We have a fun last week planned at TIP, combining language arts and maths with some seasonal creative activities.

We will also continue with our artist study, this week focusing on the American painter, Jackson Pollock. We will experiment with dripping, spraying and pouring paint onto small & large canvases.

Winter has certainly arrived and this week we will look at some of the changes in our environment.

In Language Arts we will continue to build on our reading and writing skills and also continue with position concepts in maths.

Stay warm and have a great week!
