Cookie for Father's Day!

Look at all those ingredients placed on the table.

Let's taste the cream cheese. Yummy, it is tasty!

Time to scoop 2spoons of margarine.

I've scooped all the ingredients required:

1) Half cup of milo powder

2) 50g of cream cheese

3) 2 spoons of margarine 

4) Half cup of flour

I still see some milo at the bottom of the cup!

Time to mash!

After mashing, we may start to work on our dough to decorate into a character that we have planned earlier!

It is an extension activity based on the story 'Where the wild things are!'.

We hope all Daddies have tried the cookies made by your child and savour it with love! 

Chocolate Fudge just for Daddy!

I've finished scooping all the milo powder.

Let's count how many scoops I need. 

It's great to have Audrey participating in cookery too!

Ellcus in action! Let's scoop and mix the margarine.

My turn to add the cream cheese.

Let me focus and stir the mixture altogether! 

After the mixture, we are able to transfer into the cupcake holder for Daddy's Day chocolate fudge!  

I can "Cook" too!

Chocolate-y Fudge in a bag. 

We made chocolate fudge for our cookery this month. Something simple that children can experience it themselves. Cookery is one way in which children can learn more about themselves as they use their senses to 

prepare the food. Enjoy the photos!

Keira is focused on scooping the sugar into her plastic bag so that it will not spill on the table.

             We all had our turns too! 

Let's continue to scoop Milo powder      while Janelle add some cream cheese.

Once we are done, Ms Aainaa helps to tie the plastic bag so that we may practice our fine motor skill in mixing the ingredients together with our fingers.

       Take a look! It's all mixed evenly :)

            We are almost done too!

That's really a lot of fingers muscles required and good focusing to ensure all ingredients are mixed well! 

Children had fun preparing the fudge in a bag. It is so easy as no cooking is needed! 

The ingredients that they require are:

50g cream cheese, 

1cup of cocoa powder/milo

Half cup of sugar 

2 spoons of margarine

Mixed them up in a bag and you're done! Good job, children!

Fruit Salad - The Very Hungry Caterpillar

 

 

The PNs are making their own Fruit Salad based on the Story - The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

They are introduced to a variety of fruits such as apples, pears, plums, strawberries and oranges.  They count the number of fruits too as they make their fruit salad.

 

 

Zhi Yuan's favourite fruit is apple.

Faith counted the number of pears.  She said,"Two pears!"

Yi Cheng was excited to touch the plum.  It was his first time tasting it in school.

"How many oranges are there?" Cloey said ,"Five oranges!" she said as she counted them.

The children used plastic knives to cut their fruits.

They cut their fruits patiently. 

Quinny loves the oranges.  It's the first fruit she took.

Denzel was busy removing the leaves from the strawberries.  He then used the plastic knife to dice the strawberry.

This is their favourite session.  Tasting their own fruit salad.

Caleb definitely loves the strawberries.  He ate it all instantly.

With this mouth-watering session, the children learnt to prepare and make their own fruit salad.  Mom and Dad, you can get your children to be involved in food preparation at home too.  This will encourage your children to explore and taste a variety of food that are healthy!

Do you want to build sandcastle?

 

Outdoor play is always something that the children looked forward to! 

It is also a time where they learn through play such as enhancing their social skills, numeracy like counting how many scoops to fill up the mould, using their senses to feel the sand and many other learning which is involved during sand play! 

 

Hmmm.... That container looks nice... Maybe I can ask my friend later.

Scoop, scoop, and keep scooping... And pour it out again.

"What do you have in there, Kiera?"

So engrossed in the pretend play cookery!

 

If it has been awhile since they last visited a beach with sand play, dear parents it's time to bring them soon! 

Through sensorial hands-on play, the children get to learn much more!

Let's fly parachutes!!!

The children are counting the number of styrofoams on the satay sticks.

Look at how focused they are trying to poke the styrofoams into the satay stick! It definitely enhances their eye-hand coordination and to stay focus.

Next, they learnt to thread the yarn through the hole on the plastic.

It's time to decorate the parachutes.

Look at how everyone stays engaged with their work!

Jing Xuan: Look at me!

Let's try it out! Play time!!

Waterplay!

It is such a nice weather to have our waterplay!

Faith and Dorothy are taking a dip!

Everyone is busy!

!

Let's catch some fishes.

Zhi Yuan caught a fish! Well Done!

Sofia wants to take a dip too!

Time to pack up everyone!

Pack up....pack up...everybody pack up....
The PNs help to keep the waterplay materials before they leave for shower time.

Mummy and Daddy, do remember to bring my swim wear on every Friday so that I may play in the pool! 

However, if I'm unwell, I will not be able to be in the pool to avoid spreading germs.

   Importantly, let's try to go swimming weekly to play with water and at the same time strengthen up my gross motor skill!
