In one of our lesson activities for the month of March, we aimed to achieve these objectives: Children will be able to pick up things with thumb and pointer fingers. Learn the correct positions of the different parts of the face.

The first thing that the children were taught was to tear up the colour papers up into smaller pieces. Jia sheng said “I can tear!”
“So can I!" said Fang Fei and Zhi Qian.

Fang Fei tore up the coloured paper into pieces and stuffed them into the paper bag. She learnt the skill of picking up things with her thumb and pointer finger.

Another group of children used newspaper instead of coloured paper to stuff the paper bags. Ethan said “newspaper!” The other 2 children saw Ethan taking the newspaper and they too took the newspaper and stuffed it into their paper bags while saying,
"So can I!"

Cedric picked the hair up using his thumb and pointer finger to paste it up onto the yellow paper bag correctly. “ red hair !” said Cedric.

Jia Sheng chose a purple pink bag. He pasted the eyes on the face puppet correctly and said “Eyes!”

The children used the rubber bands to tie up the paper bags. They were very attentive thoughout the whole lesson.

Hi! This month, we made peanut butter balls as a class!
Do you want to know the steps to make them?
Come! Let's join our playgroup children!
Ingredients needed:
- biscuits
- peanut butter
- honey
First step, use the rolling pin to crush the biscuits into crumbs.
Now, mix them with honey and peanut butter.
Then, we roll all the ingredients together to make peanut butter balls!
Our playgroup children learnt alot through this activity, one of which is scooping with our pointer fingers and thumbs!
"Honey sweet!" said Dion. "Peanut butter sticky!" said Ethan. "Biscuit crispy!" said Joshua.

Dion was scooping the mixture of biscuits, peanut butter, honey with her pointer finger and thumb.

"Let's use this rolling pin! Yeah!"

"Mmm. Honey.. honey.."

Fang Fei was adding peanut butter and saying, "Feels so hard!"

Finally! We can try our peanut butter balls!

To refine children's fine motor skills, tearing paper into smaller pieces is one of the ideal ways to do so.
In this activity, the children were tearing paper into smaller pieces and then pasting them to form into their very own masterpieces.

Just like the fine motor skills, it is crucial to help children develop in their gross motor skills as well. One of the ways is to get the children to stand in a line and get them to walk along that line while balancing themselves.
This was Yi Jing and Princess standing in a straight line.
They were actually curious about the line.
