Folding An Envelope

Children learned the phonic word 'envelope'. To help them learn through experience, we decided to challenge them in a creative activity where they were asked to fold an envelope on their own. So, we gave the chidren a sample envelope and one piece of A4white paper. Most of them took some time to figure out what to do. As soon as one of the children started folding the paper into half, the others followed suit. We were quite happy with the outcome of this creative activity as the children were ready to be challenged and they figured out how to fold an envelope using their creative minds.

Discovering My Personalities

This week in our Speech and Drama, we observed that children chose the costumes they liked best. The children's selection indicated that their preference of the animal costumes were closely related to their everyday living experiences. The child who chose the dog costume shared that she liked dogs. The child with the chick costume liked chicks and she entertained us with her little 'chirps'. The child dressed up as an empress loved working with dolls and she wanted to be dressed as an empress. We learned much about the children's personalities and what they liked this week.
