We Have Self-Control

This week, our Amazing Kids learnt the leadership skill of self-control. This skill is reinforced through our Speech and Drama. At the beginning of the session, teachers placed a bottle of sweets and chocolates on the table. Children were informed that sweets and chocolates are not good for their teeth and bodies. They are to have self-control over their desires to want to eat these sweets. As the children danced to the Red Indian Pom-Pom, one child will be chosen to move towards to sweets and chocolates. All the other children were to dance in a circle to try to stop the child from eating the sweets and chocolates. When they successfully stopped the child, everyone cheered: "Self-Control". We found that children caught this concept through experiential learning, in a fun and creative way!

Amazing Boys On An Adventure

Pretend play has many benefits to preschoolers. When preschoolers engage in pretend play, they explore their personality, creativity and imagination. They would imagine that they are in a faraway land, they have superpowers and they fight monsters, they save the world, they are princess with big castles, and the list goes on. While their creativity is enhanced, preschoolers learn to develop social skills, too, through pretend play. They learn to communicate, they learn to take turns, to accept each other's ideas and foster good friendships. As exemplified here in a pretend play, our Amazing Boys bonded well with each other, on an adventure in an island of monsters and dragons. We have also noted that the children's literacy level increased as they exchanged ideas, talked to each other and shared their wonderful adventures.
