Dear Mummy and Daddy

I was so glad that most of my friends were here this week! Except that Vivian was not around. Everyone in class missed her! This week, we were still on the theme “Healthy Me”. Let’s take a look what we had learnt this week.

For English, Ms. Angela read us 2 books. One was “I wear my hat” and the other was “Good night, Gorilla”.
“I wear my heat” was a picture book of different people putting on different type of hats in different places and weather. Like if we were at the beach, we put on straw hat so that we could see clearly without the sun ray shining through our eyes. If we were in a place where it was very cold, we put on winter hats so that we would not have frostbites. If we were going out on an outing with my friends, we may put on a cap. There were so many reasons for us to put on our hats! Even when we were asleep, we could even put on night cap!

“Good night, Gorilla” was yet another book filled with lots of pictures! We had fun doing picture talk. First, the zoo keeper walked past the Gorilla’s cage and greeted “good night”. Little did the zoo keeper notice that the gorilla actually took the keys to the cage! So, the gorilla unlocked himself from the cage and tip-toed behind the zoo keeper. Next, the zoo keeper went to the other animals like giraffe, hyena, lion and the armadillo. The cheeky gorilla then unlocked all the animals and they followed the zoo keeper home. When the zoo keeper was home, he greeted his wife good night in the dark and the animals started greeting each other too! The wife was so shocked to hear so many voices. When the zoo keeper’s wife switched on the lights, she saw lots of animals in the room! She quickly sent all the animals back to the zoo. And did you know what? The cheeky gorilla actually followed the wife home again. Hehe! It even slept on the bed with the zoo keeper and his wife! What a cheeky gorilla! There was a moon on every page and Sean seems to be able to locate them on every page!

Ms. Angela also talked to us about healthy and unhealthy food in relation to the theme. She told us that we must eat lots of fruits and vegetable which will help us to grow. Fish would make us clever and milk would make us grow taller and stronger. Hmmm… I wondered when I could be a big girl / boy just like you. Food like potato chips, chocolates, soft drinks and sweets were unhealthy food that we should try not to eat. Eating those foods would make us grow too big.

This week’s pre-phonic sound letter was “o” where the “o” sound is the same as Old orange octopus.

For math, we did threading using the threading toys. There were pictures of a bear, train, cow and tortoise. Both Emma and Sean were very good at threading! They were able to do it without the help of Ms. Angela or Ms. Priya. Both the teachers were very proud of them. As for the rest of us, we were still trying but I was sure that we were getting better!

For craft, we made ice Popsicle with blue colouring and water. Actually, we were supposed to do ice Popsicle painting. However, it didn’t turn into ice as soon as we wanted it to be. So, we would have to wait patiently. We also made lanterns for the upcoming lantern festival. We painted green on the paper and Ms. Angela then cut lines and added strings, chopstick, cellophane paper and ribbons to the lantern. Now they looked very beautiful!

On Friday Afternoon, Ms. Angela told us that Ms. Priya would be leaving us and Ms. Jesmin would be coming in to take our class. I was sure we would all miss Ms. Priya. As a goodbye gift, we did hand printing on a piece of drawing paper and had our name on foam flower pieces. We pasted it unto the paper and presented it to Ms. Priya. Hope everything would go well for her. I was sure you would miss her too, right?

This is all the fun we had this week. Look out for more happening things the following week!
