The Joy of Mandala.

It's November! We are going to learn about Mandala!
 Yes, you heard me right, mandala.
It's for the kids to learn something about
inner peace and shapes and symmetry.
According to Wikipedia, In common use, mandala has become
a generic term for any plan, chart or geometric pattern
that represents the cosmos metaphysically or
symbolically; a microcosm of the universe.
 
Here we have the kids drawing circles and shapes,
I want them to choose their own colour and draw them carefully
and use the shapes that they like.
After drawing all the shapes they have to paint the whole picture.
This does shows the character of the child and what they prefer and
how patience they are too.

Next the children did a Family Mandala.
They get to think about what each family member like
and prefer. What colour that they
choose for their individual member in the family.
It's interesting to see how they
think and draw things that represent each family member.

Finally, We are making it big!
The children get to cooperate and create a big mandala
using recycle items. Each of the kids get to carefully place
the individual items carefully around in a circle.
I am quite amaze that they already know the concept of mandala;
before I explain, they already know what to do!

Lastly, they are proud of their creation!
It was fun and interesting for them to
play this big mandala game!
 
Thank you all for that participate, we all had fun!

All about Insects...

In May, we attended a bugs workshop organised by Jungle classroom.
There are lots of activities for the children to understand and play.
It is mostly outdoor fun for all parents and kids!
Well here you can see that the tutors are reading a book
and explaining how the Hungry Caterpillar
is roaming around and eating all those food!
After explaining all the details about insects and how to identify a bug,
the children get to go off and catch one.
Later, they also make a colourful caterpillar.....
Do some exercise, play some games
and lastly, visit a pig farm!
Awesome!

Exciting Rock. Paper. Scissors Day!

It is a hot sunny day, and all children are excited about the Bunny making session with
our guests Artists from Cardpuccino, Ms. Cindy and Ms. Josie.
 The fun begins with the children tracing and cutting away.
You can see how they love the scissors!
They cannot wait to start cutting the bunny ears.
 Now the assembling begins, and tada..... here's the rock bunny!

 Oh look how lovely my bunny is at the garden!
It loves being there too!

 The second session starts by introducing to the children about paper sculpture.
Different techniques are being taught and
they start making them with some colourful papers.
Here's how their paper sculpture look like!
All in 3-dimensional  form! 
Next we did some rock art painting. The children had fun painting it
but due to time constrain, they have to finish it at home!
Well, am glad to say they all had fun!
Thanks to our guest artist Cindy and Josie again.
Hope in future we will have more activities like these!
 
Lastly, thanks to all who participated.
You all make this playgroup fun and exciting!
