. . . . . . . From School to Home

2017 Term 2 Week 1

Dear Parents

It is great to see the children so excited and happy returning to school after the holidays.

And we had a surprise for them!

Our classrooms are back at the newly renovated fellowship hall @ level 1!.

The children were quick to point out what they liked in the new classrooms.

They mentioned the lights which are arranged in a zig-zag manner; the new fans; the soft grey wall panels…

and even the smaller electric piano (we had a grand piano previously).

But more heart-warming ….

many simply said they are happy to be back in school to play with their friends.

Fun & Movement

Mass Activity

One of the children’s favourites for mass activity is the Seaweed Game!


Children had to get from one end to another without getting caught by their seaweed friends.

It is a fast-paced game that challenges the children to react and plan the path to take,

as quickly and strategic, as possible.

Their sliding skills were put to practice when they took turns to be seaweed in the game!

The children from all classes were given a small plastic ball to play with,

to help them develop body awareness and control.

Let’s take a look at what they did.


Love 1 & 2

Love children placed the plastic ball at different parts of their bodies

and kept the ball in that position by engaging different muscles- NOT GOING TO LET THE BALL DROP!

Between their neck and shoulder…

Tucking it under the chin…

Between their knees…(seated)


(standing up)

Holding up the ball with their palms only, and elbows all straightened out…

Rolling the ball over and over with their palms and the back of their hands…


Joy & Peace

Learning what it means to pass the ball down the row until everyone gets a ball..

Performing other actions while making sure they were holding tightly to their balls.

Stretching with the ball over their head…

They were only allowed to use their palms to hold the ball in place!

Tucking ball under their armpits…

Then they stretched over to the side with their free hand.


Ball between head and shoulder…

They stretched out their arm, and slowly lower themselves to the ground.

Ball between knees… Hands on the ground and… feet off the ground!


Children were able to develop greater sensitivity towards their body awareness,

which enabled them to better control their bodies.

Lastly, they practised passing the ball to each other, using their hands elbows only!

At times, they had to adjust their grip. But that was all part of the learning and fun!


They can now do it rather intuitively! 😊


Aesthetics (Cooking)

Joy & Peace

Equipment and ingredients checked and all raring to go !!!!!

Different ways of measuring a cup of water to mix with the flour

Happy whisking sitting or standing and all ready into the communal bowl


AND NOW TO MAKE THE WAFFLE ….

Freshly made waffles eaten with vanilla ice cream, butter, nutella and cranberry blueberry jam


They know exactly what they want to eat their waffle with … some had it plain; at times not one or two but

three types of topping! The queue for the waffle and toppings seem perpetual!

It was definitely waffle –licious

Love 1 & 2

The sandwich spread session is an experience of sight, smell and taste!

There was butter, nutetta chocolate and fig / raspberry / blueberry jam.


Choosing our own spread … and here we go …. Fold it it up and yums !!

Aesthetics (Music & Movement)

Love 1 & Love 2

- Songs:

a) “Deep Deep Deep”

b) Dinosaur Stomp - Dance Song

c) Action Song – “Na Na Na, I’m So Happy”

Stomp like a dinosaur stomps;

Twirl like a ballerina twirls;

Move like a robot moves;

Fly like an airplane flies;

Roar like lion roars!


Kindy Family News

Namsang Ingnam (Peace)
