Farm Animals in June ~ (ORG)

For the month of June, we gather again in this reading group for the theme:

FARM ANIMALS

Thanks to our story teller Ms.Fong.

As usual, we start off with story telling. Here our little children

practice interactive listening;

which is asking questions and learning what the story is about,

in the meantime, the children have to responds to all the questions asked.

Our reader did a good job in posing and answering all the questions.



Next we have some colouring going and

the children learn to identify the different farm animals.

 

Here we are having the Q&A sessions.

We ask the children some simple questions that relate to the

farm animals and they have to identify which animal it was.

All children did a great job in answering the questions.

I hope all children manage to learn something new this time!

We will have more Q&A sessions next time!

 

Thanks to all who participate!

See you all next time.

 

Oh something for all to share.

Hoo La La Circles

This June we had fun with circles!

I incooperated Wassily Kandinsky colourful circles into our first session art project.

 After introducing Kandinsky and his work to the children,

 they started painting their own version of Kandinsky inspired circles in squares.

 After the painting session, we are making it big this time.

So we do giant artwork by using recycle toilet rolls and caps.

The children enjoy making little circle prints all over the big piece of paper.

After a lot of printing and finger paint the circles,

they got tired a bit but worth the effort, as they are making a big art piece! 

So time for breakfast after all the hard work!

This time they are making round circle Jam sandwiches; yummy!

They are making Mickey Mouse, Puppy Paws... using round cookie cutter!

Oh lastly, we all love balloons,

We made the children write and draw circles on balloons.

Oooo, some of them write their own names on the balloons too!

Yay, we all had fun again.

See you all next time!

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!

 

 

 

Recycling Construction Art

Here's one of the recent activity that I did with my kid.

I named it Recyling Construction Art.

 

Materials that you need:

 

Any old bottle caps

Toilet rolls

Foil

Different small boxes

Masking tape / any tape

Glue

Colour pencils

 

    What you will need to ask your kid is:

1. What do you want to make?
2. Which material you want to use?
3. What can this make? An eye? A face?
4. Where you want it to be?
5. How you want it to be? Wrap it? Glue it?
6. Do you want to cut these?

Here are some sample questions that you may like to ask your kid, so they can contruct it all by themselves. After all it is for them to create and
use what materials that you have on hand.

Lastly, ask them to draw out what they have construct.

If you like to ask them to draw first then construct is even better.



 

Exploring our 5 Senses in April ~ (ORG)

This month we have an interesting theme,which is:

Our 5 Senses!

 

 We see with our eyes, we smell with our nose, we listen with our ear,

we touch with our hands and we taste with our tongue.

 

 All children listening to the story told by our Story teller, Thanks Claris.

 

 Our activity of the day is to test the children 5 senses.

This is the first one, Smelling. All children get to guess what they are smelling and describe it!

 



Next we are observing using the magnifying glass!

Now we use the ear to hear different sounds....

Then, we use our hands to feel and touch.

Guess what is inside!

Last but not least, we get to taste different taste.... yummy!

Well, she's holding a strawberry there!

 

Overall, we all had fun!



Easter Fun in March ~ (ORG)

After a long break from February, we are back again in March

We start with reading a book to the children.

The title of the book is:

Next activity is: Paint the egg!

We have all little ones explore with different colours and patterns.

Trace, Cut, Colour and paste.

Here are the paper bunnies that they make!

 

Ooooo, we also have a surprise birthday party

for the child whose birthday falls on March!

The birthday girl's mommy brought in the cake and

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!
