Chinese Camp

The theme in Nov was Insects. I will post up our activities soon but I couldn't resist putting up two video clips from our Chinese Camp.

Christmas is coming to town

I can’t believe that it’s Dec already. We would like to welcome Niveyda, Gabriel, Shi Yang, Hannah, Amos, Aden, Madison, Zhi Ping and Nathaniel to LittleLand.

It has been a pleasure to know all of them and we look forward to working with them. I’m sure most of you have met Ms. Sri, our Toddlers Group teacher, pls give her your best support. We will continue to work together to give the best to your child.

We had a fabulous trip to the Botanical Garden and were very proud of the children as they were well behaved during the outing. Thanks to the many times of rehearsals before the picnic day. The weather was just a perfect day for taking a nature walk and picnic, playing with friends, finding bugs, chasing after the butterflies and dragonflies.

During our month of Insects, the children were busy learning about the life cycle of a butterfly, The children love the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and they could easily relate it when we shown them the real caterpillars that we got from the Butterfly Farm. In class, we guided the children through The Very Hungry Caterpillar book page by page, showing them how to turn pages carefully using the corner of the page and handle the book with care. We invited them to keep the book after reading it. We noticed that the children shown extra care for books now.

This month we’ll be talking about Christmas. We are really excited about what we have planned for the children in this holiday season. I think my favourite activities are when we do Christmas themed art and crafts. Pls take note that the last day of school will be 12th Dec and we’ll see you again on 2nd Jan 2009. Christmas party will be on last day of school and your child is invited to dress up on this day.
