2018 Term 2 Week 7

Dear Parents

Every Friday...... let’s get ready to play water & sand

This fun outdoor activity provides many opportunities for the holistic development of children.

As they engage in play, they develop crucial social skills

such as verbal communication, sharing and taking turns.

Playing with sand and water involves digging, scooping, pouring and building.

These actions promote the development of their gross and fine motor skills.

Cognitive skills can also be developed as the children observe, compare and engage in imaginative play.

Do encourage your child to come early to school on Fridays for this fun activity! (please ensure that they have a set of extra clothes and towel in their bags)

The children were tasked to create their own Safari using stencils and their creativity!

Different stencils were made for their use

Some needed to be placed under the paper for shading…


While others needed to be placed on the paper to outline (optional) and colour.

Wow!

Fun & Movement

Mass Activity

The children gathered in a circle with every alternate child facing outwards.

Balls were passed down from one child to the next.

Standing with feet firmly on the ground, the children learned to twist their upper body to pass and receive the

ball.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYhAX-TpQlc


They were then divided into 4 groups.

Standing in a line with every alternate child facing in the opposite direction.

The children would have to twist in a greater angle to pass and receive the ball.

The last person will run to the front with the ball and continue the cycle.

Going under!!

Passing the ball to the friend behind without letting the ball touch the ground!


The children had to be aware of where the ball is to receive and pass the ball.

Love 1

The Love 1 children began with some stretching exercises!

The Banana!

Lying supine on the floor… lifting their legs up…

Then bringing their straightened arms up in attempt to meet one another!


The Superman!

Lying down with their tummies on the floor… lifting their feet up from the floor…

Then bringing their arms up from the floor and do a superman action!

This was a little more challenging for the little ones.

Practising and cultivating their ball manipulation as roll the ball to one another.


Locomotor Skill – running!

The Love 1 children played the game of ‘Duck, duck, goose’!

Lifting up their hula cars and standing up without the hands touching the floor!


Learning spatial awareness.

In their little hula-cars, the children moved around the room, learning to avoid hitting another car as the walk,

run, and jump around!

Love 2

The Love 2 children reinforced their rolling skills as the learn to call out their friend’s name and roll the ball

to them!

Some of them are still not familiar with their friend’s names! Oh dear…

Ball manipulation skill: Bounce and catch


The children continue to learn the skill of bouncing the ball.

In this activity, the Love 2 children attempted to bounce the ball to their friend, for the other to catch.

As this skill is relatively new to the children, more practices and exposure will be required to enable them and

develop their skills.

Joy & Peace

The Joy & Peace children learned the skill pass a ball to their friends using a chest pass.

With the ball in hand, they were tasked to jump over the blocks and step into the hoop on the other end.

In the hoop, they would then use a chest pass to pass the ball to their friends while the other tries to catch

the ball.


The children were reminded to start the ball from their chest and push it outwards towards their target.

Those receiving the ball had to be ready, keeping their hands out from the chest with pointed up and spread

comfortably.


The children were then divided into 2 groups, facing each other.

They would then use a chest pass to pass the ball to the friend opposite them, and run to the end of the line.


Aesthetics (Cooking)

Another way of eating our fruits …..

Some of the fruits that we bring in on Mondays … pears, rock melon, apples & grapes

For skewering -

Longer sticks for the Joy & Peace children ; shorter, more manageable toothpicks for the Love children

Love children picking their fruits excitedly …

We love our fruits

Knives down and the skewering skill is in ….

Here we go .. cut, cut, cut ….

Not too big and not too small .. “Teacher, it’s hard to cut the apple!” Yes, we learn that the fruits are textured differently – the rock melon is softer and easier to cut than the pear and apple


Unmistakable Smiles of Success & Satisfaction

the fruits
