The Rainbow Fish

"The Rainbow Fish" is one of the famous children books that teaches the importance of sharing. The children learned that joy comes from giving; the more we give, the more we gain.


The children created their very own rainbow fish using their palm.

The K1s used different types of lines to decorate their fish. 






Next, the children added every shades of blue, green, yellow, purple and red.




Lastly, the K1s cut the fish and wrote their friends' names at the back of the fish.

The children went around to ask for the spelling of their friends' names while some checked out the spelling from the "team leader and assistant leader" chart.




Aren't these fishes as beautiful as the rainbow fish?

Let's grow a plant in Humpty Dumpty!

We have been talking so much about plants in the month of May. Let's set to work in planting one ourselves! 

Dig, dig, dig.
Scoop, scoop, scoop.
Fill, fill, fill.
Plant, plant, plant a seed.
Be careful! Don't crack the egg!





















Now, sprinkle some water and it will grow, grow, grow!





How tall can the plant grow? Let's continue to water the plant and watch it grow!

Leaves, leaves, falling down...

This month, we learnt about plants. Plants are important in every aspect of our life. It gives us food and air. It prevents soil erosion and beautify our environment.

Therefore, we took our lesson outdoor to take a closer look at the plants in our neighbourhood and only fallen leaves are being brought back to the class for observation. 





Back in our class, we took a closer look at everyone's leaf collection: colours, veins, leaf blades, shapes and sizes.

Next, we set off to work individually with the leaves we have collected and made them into an art piece.







Can you tell what is this?

It's a butterfly! 

All of them have creatively created their own art pieces and wrote about their work :) 

Mashi-e-sseo-yo Kimbap

Annyong-haseyo! In the month of May, we took off to Korea and be immersed in their traditional fan dance, popular "three bears" children song and made delicious kimbap (Kim=seaweed, bap=rice).

Here are some simple steps that Daddy and Mummy can do at home with your kiddies:

1. Lay the seaweed sheet on the wooden mat. 

2. Spread rice (premixed with sesame oil and pinch of salt) on the seaweed, leaving an inch space.

3. Add ingredients of your choice on the rice such as cucumber, spinach, eggs, and shredded chicken.






4. Roll the wooden mat and your kimbap. It takes a bit of practice!



5. Now, you can cut them up!



Lastly, let's eat it! Mashi-e-sseo-yo!
