Little Designers @work

As we learnt about the importance of self-care, we have also guided the children in removing, putting on, folding and keeping their clothes away neatly. 

These are all important life-skills to have and we are proud that most of them are doing it well! 

We took the opportunity to let them further explore how a shirt may be designed. They are shown with various types of patterns, colours and shirts to let them try and feel how it is like. After that, they are allowed to self-create their own design that they will like to have with different types of materials provided.

Apart from that, they also learnt about patterning. They have used buttons to create an AB pattern and reinforced on colours.

Let's take a look at their creation process:

While waiting for their turn, they started to plan and draw how they want their shirts to be. It is with planning, they have to start thinking and use their drawing skills to further express their ideas. 

Let's see the final product of the Nursery children! 

 

Gorgeous, isn't it! 

WE LOVE GOING OUTDOORS!

The Importance of Outdoor Play

The outdoor is the very best place for preschoolers to practice and master emerging physical skills. It is in the outdoors that children can fully and freely experience motor skills like running, leaping, and jumping. 

It is also important because the outdoor light stimulates the pineal gland, the part of the brain that regulates the "biological clock," is vital to the immune system, and makes us feel happier.

The Kindergartens went out on Thursday for their Structured Outdoor Play. We focused on walking on line and running (shuttle run).

Once done with their Structured Outdoor Play, the Kindergartens had their free play time. Look at how much fun they had!

Let's begin the shuttle run race!

The Kindergartens were very careful walking on the rope as they didn't want to 'fall down into the river'.

Structured Outdoor Play was over! Let's have water play and free play time!

Mummy and daddy, please bring me for more outdoor activities over the weekends!

Snowflakes in the Kinder class!

Snowflakes, Snowflakes

Falling to the ground.

Each one rest so gently

They never make a sound.

Snowflakes, Snowflakes

Are so pure and white.

The special thing about them is

No two are alike.

Children were introduced to different snowflake patterns. Although no two snowflakes are alike, children discovered that all snowflakes have six sides. The children were assigned in a group so the older children could guide the younger ones to make the Glittery Snowflakes. Children pasted 3 strips of paper to form snowflakes. Then they sprinkled glitters on the snowflakes.

Look at our glittery snowflakes, ready to fill the classroom with glittery snow!
