Dear Angwin Families,
Our children have had a fairly busy and productive
week this week. On Tuesday, Edgerley room joined us in the treasure hunt
activity and we had great fun together. We used the big map the children
produced last Tuesday as the treasure map and hid the treasure boxes in
different places in our Early Learning Centre. We were amazed by how creative
the children could be as they had chosen some really interesting places to hide
their treasures. We also saw the children working as a team to find the
treasure boxes and communicating with each other in a caring and cooperative
way. We also took some photos of them doing team work during treasure hunt and
added those photos onto our friendship tree. We hope that our friendship tree
can grow taller and taller with time.
A mini gallery has been created in our classroom after
most of the children have made their name badges with salt dough. Some letters were
not easy to make, but our children managed them with their hard work. Come and see their work - you will certainly be surprised by the children’s fine
motor skills and how talented they are.
The children enjoyed the Rock n Roll dance party with
Edgerley and Chapple children on Wednesday. It was great fun to see them indulging
themselves in rock music and dancing like rock stars. After lunch, Edgerley
shared their worms with us and we had a lovely discussion about where worms
prefer to live and what kind of food they like to eat. It was lovely to see
children organising and expressing their thoughts using their own language.
On Thursday, we invited our friends from Chapple room
and Edgerley room to watch Kung Fu Panda with us. This activity was followed by
a group discussion of Pandas’ special habitats. We also decorated our home
corner with some Chinese posters and lanterns
to recreate the Chinese noodle soup restaurant that we saw in the movie. The children
also played with the dragon outfit and did a bit of a dragon dance in the classroom.
Friday was a fun filled day to all of us as we had our
own mini Olympic Games. We made our medal first and then talked about the
spirit of Olympic Games. Children shared their thoughts with each other and
understood that the spirit of Olympic Games were about friendships and challenging
ourselves rather than winning a game. After enjoying our sports games, we had
our ceremony on the stage in town square.
Next Friday is our Pyjama Day.It would be highly
appreciated if you could dress the children in pyjamas and bring a golden coin
for the fund raising.
Love Miss Wenting and Miss Bowden
