Month: June 2019

Dear Families,

 

It’s been an exciting half year for our busy bees together with our Beekeepers. A lot of buzzing has been going on and we are making an exit from our current themes and embarking onto new interesting themes for the third term, which will be coming your way next week.

 

Exit Point to the themes

 

The exit point completes every unit. It helps children to draw on their prior learning, reminding them of all the connections between subjects that they have made. This process gives them time to reflect and build their understanding of their learning, both individually and as a group. The exit point is also an excellent chance to engage with you, parents and guardians, and celebrate the learning that has been achieved.

 

Learning has been fun as our teachers plan exciting learning experiences through the thematic topics. The Pre-N’s ended their theme on “Families” with a better understanding and knowing the importance of a family. They explored relationships and carried out activities to know how they are an important part of their family. As for our Nursery Bumble, a fashion show was held to showcase the different seasonal clothes. They paraded down the cat walk to show off their clothes. What a way to make an exit to their theme on “Clothes”.

 

Teaching children to prepare their own food is as important as teaching them life skills like keeping a budget and taking showers! When kids learn to prepare food, they learn more than how to make a healthy meal. Our K1’s, Pollen and Honey bees made their exit to their theme on “Food” by preparing their very own sandwich. Apart from creating craft work of pizza and muffins, the busy bees had a real hands on experience making egg and sausage sandwiches. Their confidence grows as they learn to prepare different things thus giving them a sense of independence. As for the K2’s their theme on “Living and Growing” saw the children making research on how living things move, grow and change. As the exit to the theme, the Spring Onion’s produced from onion the children planted was added to the ABC soup cooked for their lunch. “Reap what you sow”!

 

Parent Teacher Conference

 

We would like to thank all our parents who turned up for our second Parent Teacher Conference for the past two days. We hope the appointment system and extension in time gave you all time to discuss with the teacher on your child’s learning. Lastly, we are pleased to note that the weekly newsletter has been well received by most of you. Thank you for sharing your feedback on how it has helped you to know what has been going on in the school and classrooms during our recent Parent Teacher Conference. We hope to keep you furnished with more interesting activities relating to the topics to come.

Have a great weekend.

亲爱的家人,

 

这是一个令大家都兴奋的上半年。很多的活动都已进行，而我们正在结束当前的主题，并会在下周开始第三学期的新主题。

 

走向主题的尾端

 

每个单元完成了都做个总结。这能帮助孩子们吸取之前的学习，提醒他们科目之间的所有联系。这过程让他们有时间反思并建立他们对学习的理解，无论是个人还是小组。这也是您，父母和监护人交流的绝佳机会，庆祝取得的学习成果。

 

老师通过主题专题规划兴奋的学习体验让整个学习都变得有趣。预备幼儿班以理解和了解家庭的重要性为该主题“家庭”作为结束。他们探索关系并开展活动，了解他们在家庭的重要性。至于我们的幼儿班，举办了一场时装秀展示不同季节的服饰。他们沿着猫步游行炫耀他们的衣服以作为主题的尾声。

 

教孩子们准备自己的食物和教他们生活技能是一样的重要，就有如保持预算和洗澡。当孩子们学会准备食物时，他们学到的不仅只是如何做出健康的一餐。幼一班孩子们准备了三明治以作为“食物”这主题的尾端。除了制作比萨饼和松饼这些手工艺品之外，小蜜蜂还真正的手工制作蛋和香肠三明治。当他们学会准备不同的东西，从中不但给了他们独立感同时也增加他们的信心。至于幼二班“生活和成长”的主题，孩子们进行研究生物是如何的移动，成长和变化。孩子们将生产的洋葱加入到午餐煮熟的ABC汤中，给该主题画上了句点。

 

家长教师会面

 

我们要感谢所有父母在过去两天参加我们第二次的家长教师会议。我们希望及时的预约和延期都让您有时间与老师讨论孩子们的学习情况。最后，我们很欣喜地知道到大多数人都收到每周简报。 感谢您所分享的反馈，它能帮助您了解我们最近学校和教室的情况。我们希望继续为您提供有关未来主题更多有趣的活动。
祝你周末愉快。

Dear Families,

 

What an interesting month it has been as we watch our busy bees progressing day by day in all areas of learning and development.

 

Pre-N’s – Balancing Task

 

Our little Sweet and Buzz students had a challenging time during indoor games as they attempted to balance bean bags on their heads while they walked around the hall. It brought a smile, watching them trying to avoid the bag from falling. This exercise helps good balance and coordination so there is less likelihood of injury (e.g. putting hands out to protect themselves when they fall of their bike). The physical attributes of balance and coordination also allow appropriate posture for table top tasks and success at fine motor tasks.

 

K2’s – Math lesson in progress (Making 10’s)

 

The children from Blossom, Honeycomb and Sunflower classes have been learning to make 10s, to reinforce relationships between numbers. The classes carried out simple yet fun activities to help them visualise relationships between numbers. When children develop a sense of making 10s, they are able to perform mental math with ease. It prepares them as moving to upper levels because they are able to build tens quickly and add on from that point. Well done K2’s, all the best in further problem-solving activities to strengthen your skills.

 

Internship – Collaboration of Kinder Labz™ with
Quest International University Perak

 

A big thank you to our three Practicum Students from
Quest International University Perak –

Ms Kuna (Diploma in Early Childhood Education),

Ms Kishantini (Diploma in Early Childhood Education) and

Ms Manasi (Bachelor Hons in Early Childhood Education).

They have each gained great hands-on real-world experience, working together with our teachers in a caring education setting. We wish them luck in their
future endeavours. We hope you enjoy reading our Newsletters, which come with wonderful happenings of your child’s learning.

Have a pleasant weekend.

 

亲爱的家人,

 

这是一个多么有趣的月份，看见我们忙碌的小蜜蜂在学习和发展领域里不断地促进自己。

 

预备幼儿班-平衡活动

 

我们 ”Sweet” 和 ”Buzz”的小蜜蜂在室内迎来了充满挑战的活动，他们试着将豆袋放在头上，在大厅里平衡的行走。 这也带来了微笑当看着他们试图避免豆袋掉下来。这项练习有助带来良好的平衡和协调，而且还能减少受伤的可能性（例如，当他们摔倒时，伸出双手保护自己）。适当的姿势在桌前任务和优异的精细运动都有助于平衡和协调。

 

幼二班-数学课程进展（制造10）

 

来自 ”Blossom, Honeycomb 和Sunflower” 的孩子们在学习怎么制造十，以加强对数字的关系。课程进行简单且有趣，这可帮助他们在数字之间的想象。当孩子们培养制造十的道理，他们能够轻松地进行心理数学运算。这能让孩子们移动到更高的级别，能够快速构建到十并从中再添加。幼二班干得非常好，解决活动中的问题以加强自己的技能。

 

实习 – Kinder Labz™ 和 Quest International
University Perak 的合作。

 

非常感谢来自我们的三名实习生-

Ms Kuna (幼儿教育文凭),

Ms Kishantini (幼儿教育文凭)和

Ms Manasi (幼儿教育学士学位)。

他们都获得了很好的实际操作经验，与我们的老师一起在充满爱心的教育环境中工作。我们也祝愿她们未来的事业顺利。我们希望您喜欢阅读我们的简报，里头都有您孩子学习的精彩内容。

祝周末愉快。

Dear Families,

 

Time seems to be flying too fast but we are happy to welcome our busy bees back to the hive after a long break to coincide with Hari Raya Aidilfitri. We hope this gave you the opportunity to catch up with family and friends and indulge in all your favourite delicacies.

 

Holiday activities

 

With most of the children on their holidays, our ‘Before After School Care’ programme continued with our dedicated teachers who made the days full of fun. Here children engage in physically active and supportive after-school programme, which aims to positively impact their health, well-being and safety. Students got involved in painting, drawing, games, role playing, and for the older children extra revision sessions helped them to complete school work.

 

My Father, My Hero

 

Just like mothers, fathers play an important role in the development of a child. We took the time to recognise the significant role that fathers play in our lives. Children look up to their fathers, idolise them and see them as bigger than life. All the children in school made special surprises to take home. The personalised crafts and drawings were made with love to express their appreciation for the way their fathers loved and cared for them. We also would like to thank you fathers, for your support of your children and their education. We hope that you can feel the reward of your child telling you: “Dad, you’re someone to look up to no matter how tall I’ve grown.”

 

Dual celebration

 

In conjunction with Hari Raya and Father’s Day, our busy bees put up a mini performance for their parents. The teachers, children and parents dressed in Malay traditional attire to lift the Raya mood high into the air. They had a fun time entertaining the parents with the Raya songs and Raya Joget. From there we moved on to the ‘Father and Child Lookalike’ event whereby our dads strutted down the catwalk with their mini-mess. They were judged on the one who had the most similarities between them. Photos of the father together with child was displayed to be judged. The morning ended with everyone enjoying various potluck food that was brought in by our generous parents. We really enjoy spending time as a whole community and it’s always nice to see parents getting to know each other better. That’s all for the week, hope you enjoy reading our newsletters and look forward to receiving your feedback. More news will be heading your way in our next issues.

 

Till then have a great weekend.

 

亲爱的家人,

这时间也飞得太快了。我们也很高兴欢迎忙碌的小蜜蜂经过长休假以及刚好碰上了开斋节假期后再次回到蜂巢。这让所有人都有机会与家人和朋友一起享受美好时光，沉溺在各种美味佳肴中。

 

假期活动

 

由于大多数孩子都在享受假期，在我们这边课前照顾的孩子们和敬业的老师们一起度过了充实又有趣的日子。通过机会为儿童提供参与积极和支持性的课后计划，这能积极影响他们的健康，幸福和安全。 他们参与彩色，绘画，玩游戏，角色扮演，和提供辅导给未完成功课的孩子。

 

我的父亲，我的英雄

 

就和母亲一样，父亲也在孩子的成长中扮演着重要的榜样。我们利用时间去认识父亲在生活中所扮演的重要角色。孩子们仰视他们的父亲，崇拜着，把他们看得比生命都更伟大。孩子们在学校里特别地为他们的父亲制造了惊喜。拥有着个性化的手工艺品和绘画都是他们对父亲爱的表达，感激父亲给予的爱和照顾。父亲们，我们要感谢你们对孩子的支持和教育。我们希望您能感受到
您孩子为您带来的奖励。“爸爸，无论我有多高大，你都是我一直敬仰的人。”

 

连接庆祝

 

为了结合开斋节和父亲节一起庆祝，我们忙碌的小蜜蜂为大家举行了一场迷你表演。身穿着马来传统服装的老师，孩子和父母带动节日的氛围到空中。小蜜蜂们有趣的带来马来歌曲和马来舞蹈娱乐父母。
过后转向到父亲和孩子相似环节，父亲与孩子来一场走秀表演。接下来的是评判出最相似的父女或父子。父亲和孩子一起照的照片都用来做判断。我们也以聚会作为结束，每个人都沉迷于父母们带来的各种食物。本周就在此告一段落，希望您享受阅读我们的简报并期待给与反馈。下周为您带来更多精彩的消息。

 

周末愉快。
