Month: October 2019

Dear Families,

 

Here we are again ending another buzzing month with a dual celebration of Deepavali and Children’s Day at the hive. We are always looking forward to getting parents involved their child’s learning experiences here at Kinder Labz.

 

Deepavali and Children’s Day Celebration

 

Living in a multi-racial country gives us the opportunity of celebrating the various cultural festivals.  Just as always, the hive has been busy preparing for Deepavali which falls on 27 October.

 

Diwali – the name itself has so much happiness and excitement around it! Some call it Diwali, some call it Deepavali. Whatever the name, this festival is the biggest, grandest and brightest festival for all Hindus around the world. The festival gets its name from the row of diyas (beautiful earthen clay lamps) that people light outside their homes. The festival too marks the victory of good over evil and light overcoming darkness.

 

At the hive, parents were welcomed traditionally by staff and were mesmerised by the display of children’s artwork and the Rangoli, an art pattern created on the floor or the ground using materials such as coloured rice, dry flour, coloured sand or flower petals. The Bee Keepers together with our buzzing bees had their hands on the Rangoli drawn and displayed colourfully.

 

The celebration started off with lighting of the oil lamp by the Heads of School, bringing in prosperity and good luck to Kinder Labz. Thank you to Mrs Linda Paran, our mummy bee for her rendition of a Hindi song and not missing out on the presentation by our lovely children with their dance and songs. Parents later had a hands-on experience through the art of making the murukku, a traditional Indian delicacy. This was later fried, and the parents had a taste of the murukku they made.

 

The children later adjourned to the hall to celebrate Children’s Day with the buzzing activities prepared by the teachers for them.  It was a joy watching them have a wonderful time with games and other surprises. Happy Children’s Day our little buzzing bees…!!!!!!

 

Happy Deepavali to all who are celebrating and a safe journey to your hometown as you celebrate the festival of light together with your loved ones.

 

Vanakkam!!!!!!!

亲爱的家长，

 

在这里我们再次度过了一个繁忙的月份，那就是在此一起举行了屠妖节和儿童节庆祝活动。在这里我们一直期待着让父母多参与孩子们的学习过程。

 

屠妖节和儿童节庆祝活动

 

生活在多种族多元文化的国家中，使我们有机会庆祝各种文化节日。像往常一样，本校也一直准备着降落在10月27日的屠妖节。

 

印度灯节-这个名字本身已让周围充满了快乐和兴奋！有些人称它为排灯节或是屠妖节。无论是什么名称，对于世界上所有印度教徒来说，这个节日都是最大，最宏伟，最灿烂的节日。这个节日的名字起源于人们在屋外点燃的一排 diyas（美丽土制的陶土灯）。节日标志着以善良战胜邪恶，以光明驱走黑暗。

 

工作人员给父母们送上传统的欢迎，同时也被儿童的艺术品展示和蓝果丽所迷住，蓝果丽是一种在地板或地面上使用有彩色的稻米，干粉，色沙或花瓣等材料制成的艺术图案。我们的老师和小蜜蜂也一同用手进行了蓝果丽彩色的摆饰。

 

活动的开始由我们本校负责人点燃油灯，以给本校迎来繁荣和好运。在此的谢谢Linda Paran夫人，孩子的妈妈所演唱的印度歌曲，同时也不要错过我们可爱的孩子们所呈现的舞蹈和歌曲表演。过后父母们也亲身体验制作印度传统美食murukku。炸过了之后，父母也尝试自己手作murukku的味道。

 

随后，孩子们集体到另一个大厅庆祝教师为他们准备的儿童节活动。看到他们在游戏和其他惊喜中度过了愉快的时光，这真是一种快乐。儿童节快乐，致我们嗡嗡的小蜜蜂……！

 

祝所有正在庆祝的人屠妖节快乐，并与亲人一起庆祝灯节，安全地抵达家乡。

Dear Families,

 

What an amazing end to the week it was last Saturday with KinderLabz’s first Concert and Graduation Ceremony 2019 at Wisma Chin Woo. To all our mummy and daddy bees who couldn’t make it to the show, you can view the snap shots of the whole event via our Kinder Labz Facebook page. To the rest who made it, thank you so much for coming in full force and making this event a memorable and successful one.

 

Kinder Labz’s School Concert and Graduation Ceremony.

 

Not only was it a great morning for all our little bees, it was also another emotional milestone for our parents, who always look forward to seeing their children perform and celebrate their successes. We are sure, you had a great time flying from one magical land to another through our little bees’ performances. *Special thanks must be given to our buzzing families for entrusting us with your little ones and giving us the support in everything we do to nurture and help develop the qualities and talent of each and every child so that they grow and become the best they can “bee”.

 

We put learning into the heart of everything we do. To prepare our children for the future, we bee-lieve it’s important to enhance the confidence level of each child so that their confidence on stage, socialising, linguistic and creative performance skills are developed from an early age – all part of their wonderful journey to become lifelong learners. At KinderLabz™, anything is possible, “bee” it singing, dancing, acting, narrating, drawing, reading, writing and cooking, you can witness it all under one roof.

 

Inventions, the Final Theme of the year for the K1’s

 

We live in a highly technological world and young children have daily exposure to computers, mobile phones, tablets, television and remote control and programmable toys. Having said that, the bees in K1 are enjoying the theme on Inventions as technological exploration offers fantastic scope for learning about function, how things work, cause and effect plus invention and design.

 

More will be coming your way from rest of the classes, till then have an enjoyable weekend viewing the happenings continuously via our Facebook page.

亲爱的家长，

 

本校在精武馆举行了首场音乐会和毕业典礼，为上周六带来了精彩的结束。对于一些无法参加演出的爸爸和妈妈们，您都可以通过我们面子书页面查看整个演出的快照。对于其他来临的人，非常感谢您的全力以赴，给这场活动留下令人难忘和成功的时刻。

 

本校音乐会和毕业典礼

 

对于所有的小蜜蜂来说，这不仅是一个美好的早晨，也是父母一直所期待的，父母们都期盼着看到孩子们出色的表演以祝贺他们成功。我们相信通过这次的表演，您度过了一段美好的时光，从一个来到了另一个神奇的土地。我们要特别感谢每一个家庭，你们将您的小孩托付给我们，并在孩子的培育与素质和才能发展给予了我们支持，使他们成长并成为优秀的小蜜蜂。

 

我们将学习融入我们所做的每一件事。为了让孩子们在未来做好准备，我们认为提高孩子们的自信心水平是很重要，以便他们从小对舞台，社交，语言和创造力表演技能拥有着自信。这都会是他们终身美好旅程的一部分。在KinderLabz™ 里，一切皆有可能，唱歌，跳舞，表演，叙述，绘画，阅读，写作和烹饪，这一切都可以在同一个屋顶下见证。

 

发明，幼一班年度最终主题

 

我们生活在一个高科技的世界里，年幼的孩子每天都会接触电脑，手机，平板电脑，电视，遥控器和程式设计玩具。 技术探索提供无限学习功能，事物的运用方式，为什么而使用和后果以及创造与设计，而这一些都让幼一班的小蜜蜂享受在发明的主题中。

 

更多精彩的活动陆续会与大家分享， 请留意我们的面子书。祝大家有个愉快的周末。

Dear Families,

 

It has been a lovely start to the week with much clearer skies and showers in between making the environment healthier.  Welcome Mr. October, let us get going with all the exciting events arranged to be shared with our parents. Our School Concert & Graduation is just days away followed by our Deepavali assembly.

 

Milking the Cow – Pre-Nursery

 

Our Bee Keepers are always looking for fine motor skill activities to add to their collection. Culminating with their current theme on Farm Animals, an activity we’d like to call “Milking the Cow” was organised for our little ones from the Pre-N classes. A great way to teach the children about cows and where milk comes from.

 

The teachers filled the gloves with water and tie the open end of the glove so that it holds the liquid without spilling. Now the fun begins! Our little bees grasped and squeezed the finger downward to stimulate milking a cow. They milked the model cow udder and experienced what it is like to milk a cow, much like a farmer would. A very helpful activity in developing their fine motor skills.

 

Rehearsal for school Production & Graduation

 

After months of hard work and practice, we are just days away from our upcoming School Concert & Graduation Ceremony. Our teachers together with the children from as young as Pre-N to the graduating K2 students are buzzzy rehearsing tirelessly to take you on an adventure to “The Magic Faraway Tree. A classic children’s novel by Enid Blyton which takes readers to special clouds that contain magical lands.

 

More information will be sent to you soon with full details of the whole show.  In the meantime, kindly take note that the Full-Dress Rehearsal will take place at Dewan Chin Woo on Thursday 10^th October and the main Concert on Saturday 12^th October 2019. Looking forward to seeing all of you there.

 

Before we end for the week, kindly ensure that your children are in good health and be in school daily for the smooth flow of the production. They have come thus far so we need your cooperation to make this day a memorable one.

 

Have a rested weekend.

亲爱的家长，

 

这一周的开始迎来了晴朗的天空和阵雨使周围的环境更加的舒服。 欢迎我们的十月先生，让我们开始安排与父母分享让人激动又兴奋的事件。倒数着我们学校的音乐会和毕业典礼原来只剩不到多少天，之后的我们将准备庆祝屠妖节的活动。

 

挤牛奶-预备幼儿班

 

我们一直在寻找着不同的运动技能活动，以增加他们的收藏。为了给农场动物的主题作为结尾，我们为预备幼儿班的孩子们组织了一项名称“挤奶”的活动。教导孩子们关于奶牛以及牛奶的来源。

 

教师将手套装满白色的水，并系紧手套的开口端，以保持液体不会溢出。有趣的活动开始了！ 我们的小蜜蜂抓住并用手指向下挤压，以促进挤奶。他们把奶挤出来了，然后像奶农一样，体验了挤奶的过程。在发展他们精细运动技能这方面都非常有帮助。

 

学校制作和毕业排练

 

经过几个月的努力和练习，我们离学校的音乐会和毕业典礼只有几天的路程。我们的老师从预备幼儿班到幼二班即将毕业的孩子们孜孜不倦地进行了排练，带您探索“The Magic Faraway Tree”来自于，伊妮·布莱顿（Enid Blyton）的经典儿童小说，将读者带入包含魔法的特殊土地。

 

有关详细信息，我们会尽快将整个节目的详细信息发送给您。 同时也请注意，我们会进行全面的彩排在精武馆，日期在于10月10日（星期四），而我们本届的音乐会将在于2019年10月12日（星期六）进行。期待与大家见面。

 

结束之前，请确保您孩子的身体健康，并参与学校活动以确保行程顺利进行。我们需要您的合作，以使这一天成为令人难忘的一天。

 

祝有个舒适的周末。
