Principal’s Message


Little Sunshine

Infants were exposed to the theme of ‘transportation’, which also covered topics on wet and soft, sound and lights, through fun and creative activities.

Infants were given opportunities to develop their sensory skills. The younger

infants were exposed to the concept of wet through water play using boats.

As for the older infants, they were given the exposure of getting wet in

artificial rain.

Activity Name:

Getting Wet

Activity Name:

Boat Play

Activity Name: Listen to the sound

Infants also engaged in sound activities. They were in awe when they heard the

the bell sounds. The children explored further by touching and moving the bells

around as they listened to the sounds.

Terrific Two-s From doctors to firefighters and cars to trains, the toddler class explored their

country through community helpers and different types of transportation.

In one of their

activities, the toddlers

role-played as

firefighters and tried

putting out cut-out

fire using spray bottle.

The toddlers were also exposed to the different types of transportation, ranging from airplanes to cars. They took turns in riding a toy motorbike and imagined

that they were riding a real motorbike. Another activity that they did was decorating their paper planes. This activity helped them in enhancing their fine-

motor skills.

Permainan tradisional, guli, diperkenalkan pada

murid-murid di Penggal 3. Dengan penuh teliti

dan fokus, mereka mencuba membaling guli ke

sasaran bagi mengumpul markah.

豆豆班的幼儿正在用手工粘贴精致的小房子呢！培养了幼儿的动手能力，以及创作力，看幼儿们做的多么开心。

JolliThree The children of Nursery 1 made cars

out of boxes and paper plates. They

first painted the boxes according to

their preferred color, then pasted the

paper plates as the wheels and lights.

After they finished the Junk Box

Cars, they played with it by

pretending to be the drivers and

passengers while singing the song “The

Wheels On The Bus”.

As they learned about

colours, the children

were divided into three

groups. They crumpled

papers based on the

colour of the group.

Then they shoot the

crumpled papers in the

basket according to its

colour.

Fantastic Fours

As the theme for Term 3 is “My Country”, the N2s had the chance to know more about their

country, Singapore. They were introduced to the different types of housing in Singapore. As an

extension to the lesson, children were provided with wooden blocks and were tasked to make their ‘dream’ house using the blocks. Let’s see

them in action!

To commemorate our National Day on 9 August, children were shown videos on National Day Parade in the past and they sang along to the popular National Day songs over the years. Children loved the Parade segment the most as they were able to see the various uniformed groups marching. They also had a sharing session about the Singapore Flag.

Murid-murid mengadaptasikan permainan tradisional, Serak Lidi, menggunakan

bahan kitar semula seperti straw dan juga batang aiskrim. Ada yang memberi

komen, “serak lidi sebab semua berserak bila jatuh” sejajar dengan maksud

namanya.

中班的幼儿通过对新加坡各种名胜古迹的

了解，都能够讲出图片的名称。

Lagu ‘Nenek Si Bongkok Tiga’ menjadi pilihan

bagi permainan tradisional kali ini. Mereka

seronok bermain sambil bernyanyi bersama-sama.

Bermain permainan tradisional, Batu Seremban,

bukanlah suatu hal yang mudah bagi murid-murid.

Namun, mereka tetap mencuba dan teruja

sekiranya dapat melambung dan menangkap

semula Batu Seremban yang ada.

通过对新加坡各种房屋的学习，大班的幼儿知道了各种洋房的样式。

Kinderland (K1 & K2) Activity: Odd and even numbers

“I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.”

Counting, hopping and throwing numbers, seems like playing but for the

K1s and K2s, those were fun and enjoyable way to learn odd and even

numbers from 0 to 10 and then, 0 to 20. They have learned to

strategize how to recognize odd and even numbers by skip counting,

alternating numbers and looking at the second digit. So the next time

you see them play around, they might be seeing a whole different way

of learning.

Project Care KMBR Lil Helpers Special: Grand-Culture

One of our SSDB Project Care, Lil KMBR Helpers key event, was conducted in conjunction with Racial Harmony Celebration. We invited our grandparents to share some of their

knowledge with the children with regards to understand the importance of appreciating Singapore’s rich diversity and heritage. Various activities were planned for the day. At the

childcare bay, children did activities such as Malay Cookery, Indian Dandiya Dance and Chinese Calligraphy. It was definitely an event to remember as we strengthen the bond

between the young and the pioneer generation.

Not forgetting our infants, they too celebrated by wearing traditional

wear and participating in fun filled activities. Infants did ‘kolam’, an

Indian tradition, ‘ondeh-ondeh’, a Malay tradition and Cherry Blossom

art, a Chinese tradition.

In conjunction with GetActive!SG and National Day, children of N2 to K2

participated in The Athletics Festival (Preschool Learning Journey) at Singapore Sports

Hub.

With the objectives of engaging children to

experience a variety of modified athletics stations

and learning about athletics events, activities such as obstacles courses were

available for children to try and challenge themselves.

It was worth the sweat as our

children showcased their sportsmanship in completing

the courses.

We Are Singapore An in-house celebration was held as we marked Singapore’s 53rd Independence Day.

Focusing on the ActiveSG campaign, children were not only exposed to the significance of Singapore’s independence, they were also engaged in activities that promote healthy

living and eating. At the Childcare Bay, children did activities such as mass workout, music & dance, fruit salad making and many more.

Infants too had a fun filled National Day celebration. They wore red and white to show their spirit for Singapore, singing our Singapore songs and doing Healthy Lifestyle Activities.

September Term Break Special:

@ KMBR

Sunflower Seeds Art – Nursery 1 children enjoyed

making sunflowers out of paper plates and pasted

seeds in the middle. Like sunflowers, the N1s

always choose to shine.

In line with this year’s Nature Magnified – Flora & Fauna theme, various activities were done by the individual classes for their term break.

Toddlers had an hands-on activity

as they touched the leaves and

flowers. Prior to that, they did a

Tulip colouring activity.

The Nursery 2 children went for

a nature walk in the morning to

have a closer look at the trees

and plants. With twigs and leaves

collected, they created art pieces

out of it.

Sebagai pendedahan tentang pentingnya

kitar semula, murid-murid membuat

petanda buku yang dihasilkan menggunakan

kotak, tali dan juga bahagian tumbuhan

yang dikumpul.

K1 and K2 had a wonderful experience planting vegetables from scrap. Children learned that certain parts of the plant can be planted again after cutting, hence learning how to use the edible parts. Saving plant or food parts is also teaching them to conserve nature.
