1st half-year comments:

Eiji is a gentle, sweet, and reserved child. In the morning, he enjoys observing his surroundings as he enters the school
grounds. During class, he understands the routines well because he tends to mimic what his brother and the older children do and

first strengthen his fine motor skills by engaging in various practical life activities on a daily basis before being introduced to more
advanced exercise. He is making progress with his gross motor skills, as he can swing and climb the slide on his own. Running and
playing chase with his friends, as well as bouncing on the trampoline, are his favourite outdoor activities. Eiji enjoys physical activity
and looks forward to going to the gym.

Eiji is learning to comprehend the concept of superlatives as well as the perception of dimensions and sizes in the sensorial
domain. He has grasped the concept of big-bigger-biggest and small-smaller-smallest in order formation by using Pink Tower, but he
needs practice when the materials are arranged in random order. Eiji will be exposed to a wide range of sensory materials in order to
broaden and fine-tune his auditory skills, sense of touch, smell, and colour.

Eiji can correctly and randomly count and identify numbers from 1 to 10. He is currently working on counting backwards from
ten to one and learning how to assign numbers to quantities with the help of wooden spindle materials.

In the language area, Eiji is working on his sounds of the letters and learning to form them through tracing the sandpaper
letters. He still requires practice to recognise and identify the letters independently and confidently. Currently, Eiji is working hard
with the large movable alphabets, where he has to match them with the sandpaper letters accurately.

During the Bahasa lesson, Eiji has been introduced to the names of body parts, such as ‘mata’, ‘hidung’, ‘telinga’, ‘mulut’ and
‘tangan’.

For this first half of the year, Eiji has been introduced to the themes of "Personal Hygiene & Environmental Cleanliness" and
"Art Around the World." Through the above themes, Eiji has learnt about good vs. bad personal hygiene, types of pollution, and
home cleanliness. Eiji also learnt about different forms of art, famous artists and paintings. Furthermore, he has been introduced to
the various festivals in Malaysia such as Chinese New Year and Hari Raya Aidil Fitri by learning the history of each festival as well
as the practises and ways of celebration.

  Eiji has shown high enthusiasm towards the above themes and festivals' celebration. He participated in the art and
craft pertaining to themes and festivals. Overall, He has made steady progress in our well-structured Montessori environment.
