Area of Development : Creative Expression / Social Skills / Mathematics Concept - Colour Mixing

Learning Objectives : To express their creativity using various mediums / interact with peers in the classroom environment / observe mixing black and white gives grey

Description : Baa Baa Black Sheep, have you any wool? Of course, this painting expression is associated with cotton wool from the Baa Baa Black Sheep. Using cotton wool as an art medium, the children painted it grey excitedly. But HOW did they get the colour grey? The answer is as simple as 1,2,3. With little help from the teachers, the children just mixed black and white together to get grey. Wasn't it smart of these little ones? Cheers!!

Royce used his left hand to paint the cotton wool.

Ethan's paintbrush got stuck in the cotton wool.

Caden worked hard to paint the cotoon wool.

Rui Kang could do it all by himself.

Learning Objectives : To discover that cheese is a dairy product / observe how the cheese melt in the oven / practise motor skills

Description : Although the Pre-Nursery and Nursery 1 children are still very young, but they proved themselves to be keen and active explorers in school. Through this cooking experience, the children got the opportunity to find out that cheese is a diary product that is made from the milk of cows. The children also practiced their fine motor skills by helping to peel the plastic sheet off the cheese and then put it on top of their bread. Last but not least, the teachers helped the children to put the bread into the oven for toasting. At the same time, the teachers encouraged the children to observe how the cheese melt in the hot oven and asked them to predict how the oven melt the cheese. Ethan immediately replied, "It's hot!" This demonstrated young children's thinking ability and their cognitive development in being able to associate the heat from the oven has caused the cheese to melt. Enough said, it was finally the time for the children to savour their healthy cheese toast when the buzzer on the oven went 'ting'. Hurray!

These 2 girls were getting better with every attempt at Show & Tell and it is evident that their vocabulary improved by leaps and bounds. Well done, girls!!!

Area of Development : Language & Literacy / Thematic Approach

Learning Objectives : To speak confidently in front of a small group / practice listening skills / increase vocabulary

Description : The children from Nursery 2 and Kindergarten 1 have participated actively in Show & Tell on Wednesdays. They would bring an item that is related to the theme every week and decribe it to their friends using their own words. From time to time, the teachers would use some probe questions to stimulate their thinking and invite them to explain in greater details. This technique is useful in getting the children to share their experiences with one another willingly and every child gets an opportunity to speak up. Without a doubt, parents have also contributed significantly to Show & Tell by helping to prepare the item together with their child. Let's look forward to more of Show & Tell in the coming weeks!

As the teacher introduced the ingredients (cookie mix, butter and egg) to the children, some of them exclaimed that the butter is yellow in colour. During the baking experience, the children's roles included adding the dry ingredients into the mixing bowl and blending them well using the whisk manually. The second task reuqired a lot of effort and strength to complete independently. The children definitely deserved a big round of applause from all of us! The teachers then helped to shape the ready cookie dough into baking pieces and sent them to the oven for baking. As they walked to the oven, Royce and Caden pointed to it and warned their friends not to go too near the hot oven. Well done, boys! Last but not least, the children were the first to savour their home-made Chocolate Chips cookies before the teachers packed some home for them to share with their Mummies and Daddies. Yippie!

Ethan Lee Kwang Yee

************************************************

Dear parents,

Our Pre-Nursery / Nursery 1 class is growing steadily. Ethan had just joined us about two weeks ago and he had settled down very quickly. He joins the class for Circie Time and he enjoys singing "The Wheels on the Bus" particularly. Well done, Ethan!

The rest of the children are more familiar with the teachers and the classroom environment. They are beginning to show interests in exploring the materials and resources independently. With the children more responsive to the teachers, the curriculum has began to take shape slowly. The children are engaged in various learning experiences constantly.

I am very proud of all the children at Gracefields Childcare - GIlstead. Many of them has indeed improved by leaps and bounds from the first day of school. I look forward to a year of never ending learning experiences together with the children.

Cheers,
Angeline

Learning Objectives : To explore play dough / help to pour the needed ingredients into the mixing bowl / repeat the name of the ingredients after the teacher

Description : The youngest group of children in the school has shown great independence and creativity when they made play dough with the class teachers. Most of them got the opportunity to smell, touch and see the rare ingredients needed to make play dough. Not only the children helped to pour the ingredients into the big mixing bowl, they also mixed them together to create the play dough. Some of the more articulate children were able to repeat the name of different ingredients after the teacher. Others were amazed to witness the change in colour of the play dough when the teacher poured the green food colouring onto the play dough. Now, the play dough is ready for the children to knead, roll and twist into various forms!

Area of Development : Fine Motor Skills

Learning Ojectives : To practise fine motor skills / reinforce eye-hand coordination / introduce patterning

Description : This group of Nursery 2 (Miah & Kajsa) were having great time experimenting with the newly purchased threading set. It comes with coloured balls and strings for the children to engage in concrete threading experiences. It stimulates children's eye-hand coordination when they pushed the strings through the holes found on the balls. On top of that, teachers can use this threading set to introduce patterning concepts to the children. All in all, Miah & Kajsa exericsed patience and age-appropriate motor skills during this learning experience.

Miah was overjoyed when she finished threading.

Kajsa was proud to show of her set of threading manipulatives.

The girls decided to try it all over again!

Learning Objectives : Counting up to 20 / Recognising numerals up to 20 / matching the total count in a group to the corresponding number.

Description : The Kindergarten 1s (Elijah & Yu Min) were engaged in a Mathematics learning experience to reinforce the number concept. It involved them to recognise numerals up to 20, count up to 20 independently and matching the total number in a count to the corresponding number accurately. This activity might look really simple to the adults, but it takes a lot of cognitive ability for this age group to complete it without any help from the teachers. Bravo, Elijah & Yu Min!

Elijah demonstrated the ability to count up to 20 independently.

Elijah recognised the numerals up to 20.

Yu Min counted up to 20 without any external assistance.

Yu Min matched the correct number of semi-circles to the corresponding number.

Dear parents,

A warm welcome to 2008 at Gracefields Childcare - Gilstead. From the beginning of this year, we have grown significantly in numbers. As you can see, there have been a couple of new additions to our family and I hope it will continue to grow.

The new children are adapting well to the classroom environment and are settling down. This is indeed a big step for them to take, as many of them are first-timers in school. Well done!

I will also like to take this opportunity to express my thanks and gratitude to all parents for their support in 2007. I look forward to work together with you in 2008 for the best interests of your child.

Cheers,
