Xmas Party - December (ORG)

Ho Ho Ho, It's Christmas again!

We are so excited this time

as we have lots to do!

First we read a story about Santa having a New Jet!

It was interesting as this book does relate

to our modern world, in my opinion it is

suitable to both gender; although we have

an all girls reading group here!

Santa's New Jet by David Biedrzycki.

After the story-telling session,

we continue with our Christmas Cooking activity.

Oh don't forget to wash hands first!

Here, showing the children some

ingredients and let them taste and smell some of it.

We are making Christmas Squares! Easy and neat.

We are doing it all by ourselves.

Some make it round too, using the moulds.

I know all mommies been waiting patiently for the recipe...

I hope you all can try it at home with your child too.

It is easy and most of all, no mess at all.

Best of all it is yummy!

 

Christmas Squares

1/2 cup oats

1 tbsp. sesame seeds

2 tbsp. mini marshmallows

2 tbsp. cranberries

4 tbsp. Honey

2 tbsp. Sunflower oil

Tiny bit of vanilla essence

 

Preheat Oven to 160 degrees.

Line baking sheet with baking paper.

Mix dry ingredients all together.

Then add honey, oil, vanilla essence.

Use spoon pour on the baking sheet and tap it thin and flat.

Bake for about 20 minutes, and let it cool for 10 minutes.

When it is cool, it should be able to break it into small pieces;

and keep it in an air tight container.

Viola!

Here are the examples of the round shape Christmas squares!

Ok I forgot to take pictures of the

other squares as they were quickly

being eaten or put into the container. LOL.

Next, we have the kids do lots of things for this

mini picture that they can hang on their wall.

Stencilling, tracing, drawing, colouring, cutting and paste!

Last but not least, this time, they have to write the

Merry Christmas wording and put down their names!

After all the activity, exchanging presents time!

The stockings were full now with little presents and sweets.

Here are the children hugging each other for the

photo with the Christmas tree!

 

Thanks again to all that participate,

the children really have fun!

Our Reading Group Theme: Christmas!

 

This time all children will have

a mini Xmas Party after the reading sessions!

 

All the stories are related to Christmas!

After the reading sessions, we have a singing sessions,

the children are happy to sing the Jingle Bell song.

Now it is the guessing game. The children get to feel inside

the Xmas Stocking and describe what it feels like, and also guess what it is! 

 See each of them have fun feeling it and guess what it is.....

 After the guessing game, each of the children get to decorate the Xmas tree;

they will each have an ornament to hang on the tree,

thanks to Mommy Pei Aik for the ornaments! 

 

Oooo.... after that, this is what all the children has been waiting for... presents!

All stockings are hang near the tree, and each mommies get to place a presents for all the children;

you are right, all children got at 6 presents each!

Here is the book swapping session!

All children are happy with the mini Xmas Party!

Oh I forgot, we get to name Santa's Reindeer and have a go at drawing it too!

 

Thanks again to all parents who attended, it was real fun for the children!

Origami Christmas Fun in December

We are happy that Ms.Cherly Loh is able to come over and show the kids how to do Origami the fun way. As some of you may have know, she is the expert in this field! First Origami Guru in Malaysia. She has mastered her skills in Origami for many years in Japan. We are so happy to have her teaching the children!

 All the kids are having fun making different things, we have two sessions, one for the younger kids, and another for the older children! They all have much fun doing it; especially the younger ones as it is their first attempt doing Origami!

 The kids are happy to show off their creativity!

 Here the older children are having their go on the Origami! Concentrating hard!

 Second activity that we are doing is writing a personal letter to Santa Claus,

asking for their favourite toys... etc.

See they do their best colouring and writing!

 Here the letter......... so sweet!

 Now, time for Xmas Goodies Jar!

This acitivity is to let the children use their 5 senses.

First the need to see, then smell the ingredients. They need to recognise them individually.

Then they get to use their fine motor skills to scoop each ingredients into the Jar.

See how they do it properly! 

 Now, they get to shake the jar, having some fun you see....

 

 Last but not least, they get to taste it!

So by now they will recognise the individual ingredients

with no problem!

Oh, they love it so much, cannot stop helping themselves too!

 

Time for gift exchange! A bit of chaos.... as there are so many children and less time!

But they were all happy singing Jingle Bells and opening their gifts!

They just could not wait till Christmas I guess!

 

 So they all are happy with their presents!

Did we all have fun?

Of course! Thanks for all mommies who help make this playgroup happening!
