2020 Term 4 Week 2

Dear Parents

Learning is not just about completing worksheets.

At Bethany, our children from Love 2, Joy & Peace are engaged at the different learning corners

to facilitate their learning of Math, Language and Chinese.

These fun activities promote independent work among the children

as they have to sit and complete each activity on their own.

Once they have completed, the teachers will check their work

to ensure that they understand what they have done.

The children do look forward to spending time @

the Learning Corners!


Concert preparations have begun – practice sessions are weaved into the various programs …

Will be updating along the way – Stay tuned ….

We wrapped up the story of “The Gingerbread Man”.

Show, Tell & Share

Love 1

Left to right:

Ethan brought three vehicles from home. One of them is made from Lego and it is an aeroplane.

The other two vehicles are an aeroplane and a backhoe.

Aarav was very excited to show his two gigantic lollipops that his mother gave to him.

The flavours are strawberry and cola.

Matthew built a lorry using Lego. He pointed out the different colours of his lorry.

Manya brought three blocks with letters on them. She identified the names of the letters.

Keagan showed his giant octopus. He told his friends that an octopus has eight legs.

Love 2

Left to right:

Kara called her wide swirl paper straw a “magic straw” because of the illusion effect when the straw is turned.

Carissa had a bag full of stickers collected. Many were given by her grandmothers.

Oliver brought a huge Nerf gun. Even though there was no bullet,

the gunshot sound could still be heard when the trigger was pulled.


Fun & Movement

Individual Classes

The children continued to develop their locomotor skills through the different drills!

Testing their agility as they change direction and speed as well.

Weaving…


Running in a Zig-Zag line… (Love 1)

Sliding…


Sprinting… (Joy & Peace)


Bear and Crab Crawl… (Peace)


Aesthetics (Art & Craft)

The “star” of our craft this week was the Gingerbread Man / Gingerbread Lady!

And we made “a one of a kind” lantern!


For each class level, there were some new challenges for the children after colouring the templates.

Use of the scissors Lots of eye-hand coordination skills involved……

Joy & Peace

The children had to manoeuvre their scissors to create the “holes” within the body of the gingerbread man.

Prior to this, slits were done across the “holes” to help them position their scissors.


Love 2

The challenge for this group was to go beyond just cutting in straight lines.

They had to manoeuvre their scissors to cut along the outline of the gingerbread man.

Many were pleased with this new achievement!

Position & Paste More eye-hand coordination skills involved……

After choosing the laminated cellophane paper, they had to align them over the “holes”

(making sure that they are covered)

and using tape to keep them in place.


Love 1

For the Love 1, they had to handle the scotch tape,

making sure that they use the “sticky part”

to tape the coloured laminated cellophane paper over the holes.

For this group, Teachers helped to cut and put the lantern togeter.

Well done everybody!

Your lanterns look amazing!


Aesthetics (Cooking)

Love 1 & 2 … it’s our turn for The GingerBread Man Cookie …

Run, run as fast as you can! You can’t catch me. I’m the Gingerbread Man!

Raring to go looking at the BIG GingerBread Man Cookie …

Free and easy

to decorate the

BIG cookie

with choc chips and

sprinklies!

Love their

enthusiasm;

thoroughly

engaged!


And they have just enjoyed the activity, pleased with their works!

Teachers were all taken aback that majority of these little Love children

chomped through the entire cookie fairly quickly….


Follow-on Activity : Using the cookie cutter … to make our GingerBread Man Babies ..

Perfectly cut out and ready to eat with the Sprinklies!

Patiently waiting and watching each

other … attempting the cut-out for

themselves … heehee…

“not so easy”


Aesthetics (Music & Movement)

The Kindy’s Year-End Concert is greatly anticipated each year!

While different possibilities are being explored currently,

what you can be sure of is that preparation has already begun!

We’ll leave you with a sneak peek of our practices each week…
