2026.02.10🚀 Little Space Explorers Enjoy a Rocket Race

January’s Pink School theme was “Our Solar System” 🚀
“How many planets are there?”
“Which planet is the biggest?”
“How can we travel to space?”
Our learning began with the children’s natural curiosity. Through lively discussions conducted in English, they explored big questions, shared ideas, and built new vocabulary in a meaningful and engaging way. As their excitement grew, one idea stood out:　“Let’s build our own rockets and go to space!” Each child designed an original rocket on a worksheet, carefully planning colors, shapes, and special features. With imagination and creativity, they brought their one-of-a-kind rockets to life.　To conclude our exploration, we held a Rocket Race using straws and strings.　“Three, two, one… blast off!” In that moment, our classroom transformed into a space station filled with energy, teamwork, and joyful cheers ✨

At our international preschool, children don’t just learn facts — they think, discuss, create, and discover in English. This month was filled with powerful moments where “I wonder…” became “I did it!” — nurturing confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.
