Kidz Meadow Kindergarten collaborated
with Loyang Primary School for a K2 immersion programme on 30 March 2017.
The visit provided a great opportunity for the K2 children to have a better understanding
of what to expect in primary school. The children participated in a Primary 1 classroom
lesson set up and experienced buying food from the canteen.
Some of the K2 parents also joined us
at Loyang Primary School for a parents’ briefing session.

Care for Environment Day
Kidz Meadow Kindergarten observed ‘Care for Environment Day’
on 21 April 2017.
The objective of the day was to inculcate a sense of responsibility to care for the earth
that we live in. The teachers shared effects of global warming and deforestation with the
children as well as encouraging them to learn to recycle.
The children also had a fun yoga and workout session on environmental awareness. They
each brought home a craft that pledge their promise to save
the earth.

Trip to Fig & Olive
The KMK children had a yummy time at Fig & Olive Café before the end of Term 2, on
24 and 25 May 2017. The trip was in conjunction with our project month on 'Food'.
Our N1 to K2 children had the opportunity to observe food menu and preparation that were related to their project topic such as tomato and egg pizzas, eggs and mayo sandwiches and mini apple
pies. The older children were even allowed access to tour around their kitchen.
We were also greeted by the friendly mascot, ‘Fig’! The children were excited to hug and shake hands
with ‘Fig’. They definitely had a great time dining at Fig & Olive.
