Some food were made with intricate details!

Eg. Adding tiny bits of salami to make a slice of pepperoni pizza.

Many took great effort to get their cookies in the perfect shape.

Ice Cream anyone?


Show, Tell & Share

Love 1

Left to right:

Lorraine has a Hello Kitty Mirror. She let her friends looked at their reflections in it.

Josiah shared with everyone that his excavator has caterpillar tracks on them.

Charity showed her friends her magic milk bottles. When you turn them upside down, the contents inside will

disappear but when it is the right way up, the contents appear again.

Ian pointed out the eyes and mouth of his bus.

Alwyn has a red sports car that can go very fast!

Love 2

Left to right:

Joy showed her classmates how to use a torchlight in the dark.

Joshua pointed out the different characters in his Paw Patrol book

Jasher demonstrated how his squares could be stuck together because of the magnets at the corners.

Carolyn’s mouse has a lot of pink parts like the tail, ears, feet and hands.


Fun & Movement

Mass Activity

The children practised and continued to develop a variety of gross motor skills through different drills!

Agility – to weave in and out of the cones as fast as possible

Balance – Lifting the leg up high and cross over the cones

Coordination, balance, strength & jump – jumping over the cones with both feet

The Peace children were challenged to make consecutive jumps!


Love 1 & 2

The little ones were given a little barrier where they have to cross over.

Bringing their leg upwards, pulling their knees nearer to their chest

to bring their feet high enough to cross the barrier without toppling it.


The Love 2 children were challenged to cross the barrier without holding on to the chairs!

Experience catching a ball that was bounced to them

And bouncing/throwing it back to the teacher for the Love 1s!

Joy & Peace

The Joy & Peace children began with jumping over the board and landing with both feet.


They then tried jumping hurdles!

Stretching their hurdling leg forward and over and making sure that the back leg

follows through without hitting the board.

The run from one board to the next help them to gain the momentum needed to jump hurdle.

This helps them to maintain the balance and coordination of their body as to not fall easily and improve

strength and agility.

Aesthetics (Cooking)

Our cooking sessions are always an integrated experience – not just about cooking and eating!

Much learning takes place (information acquired, skills, language; etc.).

The best is when the children are able to do the actual cooking for themselves ….

Nothing like being able to actually do it – see, touch and feel and the whole works of it ……

– the ultimate learning experience

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwihj9fq9dHhAhUBVH0KHQmHCIkQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/au-t-1548-hot-cross-buns-display-banner&psig=AOvVaw2F2UIg779f66BkZnQvi3n5&ust=1555411432390514


Ingredients for our Hot Cross Buns - flour, cinnamon powder with a little butter

Dried yeast made into a mixture with egg & water

The Peace & Joy children made their own dough ; the Love children had the dough done for them

Cinnamon & yeast mixture are new for all –

“Go ahead, feel touch & smell ….”

Mix the ingredients ….


Getting ready for baking ….

The gooey fun!

Specific instructions:

2 & 4 round balls to be made by

Peace & Joy; Love classes accordingly …. And they did very well …


Most if not all, have never done this – piping the “cross” on the buns …

with the icing sugar + flour in the piping bag

The “cross” didn’t turn out too well … but we all enjoyed the freshly baked, yummy HOT BUNs

The Peace & Joy had it with butter and the Love children had chocolate sauce / pancake syrup


Aesthetics (Music & Movement)

Passing a cup round the circle may be easy peasy!

But to pass the cup

concurrently with everybody, in a clockwise/anti-clockwise direction

is really quite different!

The children required practice to know

the direction to pass the cup

as well as to pass it at the same time.


Next up: Some rhythm making with cup before passing!

Song: ”Hot Cross Buns”

It’s not all that intuitive for

the Love children especially.

They’ll learn it

step by step,

slowly but surely.
