Bugs Garden Party

Well, as you are already know, here at LittleLand we always keep our children busy learning while having fun.

First we brought our children on a field trip to Penang Butterfly Farm. Our trip was a great success and the children had a wonderful time walking around the farm full of beautiful butterflies.

With the excitement from the Butterfly Farm still in the air, we had the children spent their times outdoors for our Bugs Garden Party. They marched themselves from one station to another and completed all activities with great energy. We made hand print caterpillar, hunting for bugs hidden in the sandpit, scooping ice cube bugs from cold icy water, planting pots of sunflower seeds and snacking different types of fruit The Very Hungry Caterpillar was hungry for.

Enjoy the clip as much as I enjoyed chasing after the children taking all these photos..

Our toddlers had a picnic at our school garden. They learned about sharing, taking turns, how to eat properly and how not to waste food.

Wild Animals

The theme of the Wild Animals let us re-visit Zoology unit we learned earlier this year in March. We have created many types of animals at the art corner, walked like an elephant, slithered like a snake, hopped like a kangaroo. For Sensorial activity, we shown the children different types of habitat that these wild animals are living. The children have really liked exploring many jungle animals. The toddlers always surprise us with the different sounds that these wild animals make by listening to the story of Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What do you hear? by Eric Carle.

July News

Our theme in July is Wild Animals. Through our study of wild animals, the children will become familiar with the names and homes of the many zoo animals and we will be talking about endangered animals and at the same time we will create awareness to children on how to preserve their habitats. Younger children will be read a book by Eric Carle, Polar Bear, Polar Bear, what do you hear? They will learn the different sounds these animals in the book are making.

Some of the experiences planned for this theme :
o Sensorial activity – touch different types of fabric materials such as wool from hair/fur and leather from skin.
o Science Culture table – children will be working with toy animals and place them in each habitat that these animals live, some prefer icy cold land, muddy places, some animals prefer grassy land or water.

June Holiday Workshops

We're very happy to announce our first batch of June Holidays Crafty Time sessions, led by scrap expert Joyce ended with a blast! The children learned new skills and produced loads of fun and creative art projects and their felt sewing projects, including cute stuffed donuts, cool book cover and bags for all stuff.

I loved sewing myself as a child and it is a wonderful thing to pass on to the kids. I have been very keen in making sewing available to children and hope to break down some of the barriers associated sewing with it being a girl thing. My intention is only to make sewing fun for children and for them to pick this as a new hobby...who knows one day they will become one of the world's top fashion designers?

The children learned to sew using needle and thread and two basic stiches. Backstitch is the strongest hand stitch and is used to imitate machine stitches and herringbone stitch and it is used to hold down a hem. This is a decorative stitch and could be used on the outside of a piece of clothing.
