Hi there Community Helpers!

Ms Polly has a dolly who was sick, sick, sick

So she calls for the doctor to be quick, quick, quick

The doctor came, with his bag, and his hat

and he knocks on the door with a rat- tat-tat

The doctor came and he shook his head

He told Ms Polly to go back to bed

He wrote on the paper for the pill, pill, pill

I'll be back in the morning for my bill, bill, bill

Children were introduced to the topic on community helpers. They explored the different types of community helpers, such as doctor, fire fighter, police officers, teachers, and many more. 

Children learnt that these community helpers are helpful, and they have an important role to play in the community. They helped to make the neighborhood a better place to stay in. 

Children had the opportunity to be a doctor and fire fighter for the day. They pretended to attend to "sick" patients, as well as try to "put out fire". Children had fun dramatizing being doctors and fire fighter. Take a look at them in their uniforms! :)

Prepare Your Own Lunch Day

As a closure for our community building theme, children were given an opportunity to prepare their own lunch for the day. This activity allows children to experience how a chef works in a restaurant. Children prepared garlic toast, broccoli scrambled egg, and shredded chicken with dark sauce.

Children seemed to enjoy the process of spreading garlic spread on the baguette. They got to add in broccoli into the eggs and lastly, learnt how to shred a piece of chicken. The process helps in children's fine motor skills, as well as their eye-hand coordination. Now who says, cooking is not fun? Look at them!

They were very proud of their work, and finished their lunch. Yay! 

Parents can also engage in cookery session with your child over the weekends!

Letter A!

Children learnt about the letter "a" and its phonetic sound. To reinforce their understanding, they were asked to name objects/ things that begins with the letter "a". Children were able to name "apple", "aeroplane" and "arrow"!

 

To further enhance their understanding on the letter, they were encouraged to color the apple and ant.

 

Way to go, children!

 

Dirt Cup with Gummy Worms

 

For the insect theme on October, the children did a cookery session on 'Dirt Cup'! 

They used ingredients such as crushed Oreo biscuits, jelly pudding and 'gummy worms'. The children worked from scratch; pounding the biscuits with wooden rolling pin, scooping the dry ingredients and pouring the wet ingredients into the cup. The children were really enjoying preparing the 'Dirt Cup'!

 

Each child has an opportunity to use the rolling pin to crush the oreo biscuits.

After crushing the biscuits, the children got to pour the dry ingredients from the plastic to their own 'Dirt Cup'.

The children then prepared the chocolate jelly pudding by pouring the pudding powder.

With the pouring skills they have picked up during practical life skills activity, pouring of milk from the jug into their cup was a breeze.

Stirring was the most fun part as they got to observe the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients became a mixture.

        Lastly, they got to place the 'Gummy Worms' into their dirt cup!

 

The PNs learnt a variety of skills through this learning experience and importantly they have enjoyed tremendously! Have a go at home too!
