Animal Food Craft

Children learnt about wild animals, and had the opportunity to visit the Zoo to further enhance their learning.
Teacher flashed back their memories on the animals that they saw while at the zoo, by creating their own wild animal figurine using different type of food items. This include cheese, biscuits, raisins, and grapes.
Teacher demonstrated one example to children so that they will have an idea on how to go about creating theirs. Children learnt how to use the plastic knife to slice the food items, and how to assemble to cut or sliced food.
Children had fun with this activity as they shared their experience at the Zoo with their peers.

 "I make elephant. See... "said Raphael..
 "I make monkey, Ms Aainaa," said Nuriy
 "I'm cutting the cheese, see... "said Ern Xin
 "I make hippo.."said Ern Xin
 Engrossed with their creation.
 Doing some touch up before she's done. Janelle's version of an elephant.
 "I'm eating the elephant ear," said Zhuo ' Er
Keira peeling the banana to make the elephant's tusk. 



Let's be creative and allow our children to create their own food craft to encourage them to enjoy eating healthy food! Children take pride in their own work. Just like adults do. :) Have fun trying! 

Bubbles Bubbles Everywhere

Children had a chance with bubbles during their outdoor play. This activity prepares children for their spoken language. This is because, children learnt how to shape their mouth and how to blow into the bubble stick, in order to get the bubbles out. 

Children discovered that they need to blow gently into the stick in order for the bubbles to be in the air. Social skills involved when children took turns to have a chance with the bubble stick. When their peers blow the bubbles, the rest of the children tried to burst it. Children also learnt about shapes and sizes - big and small. They had fun with the bubbles!
