Hello to all parents of Playgroup class!
Let us take a look at our little chefs at work.
This month, one of the lessons was for them to make crackers of their own.

The children were engaged in the activity called "Body Crackers". They chose the round marie biscuit to be the face. They used the plastic knives to spread peanut butter onto their own cracker.


Yamone said: "Peanut butter is sticky.”
Teacher asked what she felt about the peanut butter.
Dion said: ”Lu young, you see, I can spread the peanut butter onto the biscuit, it is sticky.”


Lu Young chose a round marie biscuit for the face and a square cracker for the body. The stick biscuits are used for the hands and legs. And four raisins are used to make the eyes, nose and mouth. Teacher asked what was he making.
Lu young said: ”I am making a body, with a face, body, two eyes, two legs and two hands.”

Lu young and Ethan shared their interesting experience after the classes.

Lu Young said: "Ethan, you see, I can make a happy face on the cracker”.

He started to sing, "To be happy, you must smile,smile,smile."

Whereas his friend Ethan said: “Lu Young, I can make a body cracker, with a face, body, two hands, two legs and two eyes, one nose and one mouth.”

At the end of the activity, the children looked at their own interesting creations.

Jia sheng said: "Wen Xin, I used biscuits to make my face, my body, hands, legs, eyes, nose and mouth.”

Wen Xin said: : "I can do so."

Gareth said: "Teacher, you see, I can make a person with face, body, legs, hands, eyes, nose and mouth."

Shi Tian looked at her creation quietly.

The children loved eating their own creations! They said: ”Yummy! Yummy! Biscuits soft, raisins sweet, peanut butter sticky!”

庆祝儿童节



老师先与班上的小朋友一起玩’传球游戏’.
当音乐开始,小朋友就要将手中拿的球传给坐在自己身旁的朋友.


嘿!快,快把球传给我.


哈!音乐停止了,球传到了乐琦的手上了.


乐琦马上很乐意地站起来为大家唱一首歌.


接着,诗琴也很乐意地为大家唱歌.


瞧!我们正在专心地为自己的作品涂色.


看!我在用红色涂我的作品.


我在我的小车图形上画了许多的脸.

从这首儿歌里,孩子学到了卫生的意识.

儿歌<我是一个大苹果>
我是一个大苹果
我是一个大苹果,
小朋友们都爱我,
请你先去洗洗手,
要是手脏别碰我.

Hi! Welcome to our blog in the month of August! :)

You must have been wondering, what have the children learnt this month?

We have been touching on this topic, Going Places. The children learnt about matching things to places. They were able to classify “sofa and television in the sitting room", “bed, pillow, blanket in the bed room", and "kitchen utensils are in the kitchen" by using picture cards and concrete objects.

For art and craft session, they learnt to recognize and match simple shapes (circle, rectangle, triangle and square) and they were able to say the names of the shapes and also match and sort colours when asked by the teacher.

In the home science session, the children experienced the process of making “fruit salad” and” fruit kebab”. Through these activities, they learnt that “fruits “are good for their body".

Below are some pictures of the children experimenting with the different fruits and vegetables in collaboration with the Healthy Lifestyle Week in August! :)


Princess and Sarah were smelling the apples.
Princess said: ”Apple red.”
Sarah said: "Mmm… Nice smell.”

Lu Young and Ethan felt the texture of pears.
Lu Young said: ”Smooth.”
Ethan said: ”Hard.”

The children explored the green leafy vegetable and carrot.
Zhi Qian said: “Carrot is orange.”

Angel touched and smelt the banana.
Angel said: ”Yellow banana.”

The children enjoy eating the banana.
They said: ”Yummy! Yummy! Sweet.”

Song:

*Put your circle in, put your circle out.
Put your circle in and you shake it all about.
You do the hokey pokey
and you turn yourself around,
that's what it's all about!

*Repeat for other shapes like square, rectangle, triangle

小鸟，小鸟，
有翅，有脚,
白云想要抱抱，
不要，不要！

Guess what was the big occasion we had in the month of July?
Yes you are right! It was Racial Harmony Day!
Most of our Playgroup children were dressed in their very own ethnic costumes, and they really looked good in them!

Our Playgroup teachers had a number of activities lined up for the children. One of the activities was to dance around when the music was being played, and when it stopped, the children had to hop into the hula hoops. The game was not that easy. they had to categorize themselves into the different groups - groups according to their races. So here we have: the Chinese, the Malays, the Indians and the Burmese!

The children were yelling in excitement as they danced around with the music!


The music has stopped! Quickly get into your groups!

The next activity was called, "Guess Who?"
In this activity, children took turns to get blindfolded. Once they got themselves blindfolded, they had to walk around while the music was being played and when it stopped, they had to stop moving as well and hold on to one of their friends. They then had to guess who their friend was by touching their hair, their clothes and so on.

All of them were so cute! Even when they were not bilndfolded, they used their hands to cover their eyes and pretended that they were being blindfolded as well!

I'm coming, Yi Jing!

Now, it was Linda's turn!

Whom did she catch?

Aniq was touching Ethan and making wild guesses...

Now, it was Yamone's turn to guess!
