Month: January 2021

Dear families,

 

‘Rain, rain go away, come again another day’… sang our little bees as they filled their clouds with colourful rain to brighten the day. An activity that helps our little bees develop their imagination and confidence with colours.

 

Our young bees in Nursery had fun creating patterns and designs by stamping on paper using potatoes with cut out shapes and learned how patterns can be formed when a shape is repeated.

 

Recognizing numbers and matching them to their correct value was the topic our curious bees in K1 were exploring in their Maths lesson this week. Counting objects and matching them with the correct number cards, this activity was one way to help them to develop their cognitive skills.

 

Keeping our little bees safe in their ‘bubbles’

 

In making the hive an even safer place for our little bees, we have now placed them together with their beekeepers into their own ‘class bubble’ while still practicing social distancing. From the moment our little bees arrive at the hive, they will be guided to their ‘class bubbles’ and to their vehicles during dismissal time.

 

This will help minimize contact with little bees from other classes as everything including meal time and rest time will be done within their own ‘class bubbles’.

 

If you have any questions on ‘class bubbles’ do give us a buzz, we’re always here for you.

 

Wishing you a happy weekend ahead and stay safe.

亲爱的家长/监护人，

 

“雨，雨快走开，请你改天再来吧……”我们的小蜜蜂在填满云朵上五颜六色的雨时唱起了歌，照亮了这一天。 这是一项活动有助于我们小蜜蜂通过颜色提升他们的想象力和自信。

 

我们幼儿班的小蜜蜂也很有趣，他们使用土豆切出后的形状按压在纸上创建图案和设计，并学习了重复使用形状如何形成图案。

 

认识数字并将其匹配至正确的值是本周我们幼一班好奇蜜蜂在其数学课上探索的主题。计算物体并用正确的数字卡匹配它们，这是帮助他们发展认知能力的一种方法。

 

让我们的小蜜蜂在自己的“泡泡”里保持安全

 

为了使蜂巢成为我们小蜜蜂更加安全的住所，我们现在将他们与教师按照阶级放置在自己的课室里，同时仍然保持着社交距离。从我们的小蜜蜂到达蜂巢的那一刻起，他们就被带到他们的“泡泡班级”直到他们放学踏上自己的车辆。

 

这将有助于最大程度地减少与其他班级小蜜蜂的接触，因为包括进餐时间和休息时间在内的所有事情都将在他们自己的“泡泡班级”里进行与完成。

 

如果您对“泡泡班级”有任何疑问，请务必与我们联系，我们将随时为您服务。

 

祝您周末愉快，并保持安全。

Dear families,

 

Although Perak will be under the MCO until February 4, the hive is still open as per the directive of the Ministry of Education. Let’s take a look at what our little bees have been up to this week.

 

‘Somewhere over the rainbow…’ our little bees in Pre-N exercised their fine motor skills tearing up small pieces of coloured paper to create a colourful rainbow. Apart from exercising their fine motor skills, this activity also helps our little bees recognise the different colours that form a rainbow.

 

‘Help the Mama letters find their babies’. Our little bees in Nursery had lessons on matching of Uppercase and Lowercase letters.  You could see the buzz of learning in class as they matched the letters in an excited manner. This reinforcement activity helps develop their fluency in recognising letters.

 

Learning Mandarin comes easy and fun for our K2 bees, learning how to pair Chinese characters of verbs and nouns. This exercise enhances the children’s development and understanding of the Mandarin language.

 

Did you know that wearing a face shield can provide extra protection for your little ones on top of wearing a face mask?

 

To keep our little bees socially distant in class, we now have face shields that are easy to put on and difficult to wear incorrectly. These face shields help prevent our little bees from catching any germs by protecting the entire face (mouth, nose, eyes) from coughs and sneezes.

 

At the hive we encourage our little bees to put on a face shield as it provides them with extra protection and helps prevent them from touching their faces.

 

Each little bee will get a free visor to keep them as safe as possible. If you’d like to get additional ones, you can purchase them from reception for RM7 each.

 

Have a safe weekend at home, let us know if you have any questions, we’re always here for you.

亲爱的家长/监护人，

 

尽管霹雳州将落实行动管制令直到2月4日，我们的蜂巢仍然按照教育部的指示开放。 让我们一起来看看本周小蜜蜂的状况。

 

‘Somewhere over the rainbow…’ 我们预备幼儿班的小蜜蜂锻炼了他们的精细运动技能， 将彩色纸撕成小块， 创造了一道五颜六色的彩虹。除了锻炼他们的精细运动技能，这项活动还能帮助小蜜蜂识别不同颜色形成一道彩虹。

 

“帮助字母妈妈找到她们的小宝宝…” 我们幼儿班小蜜蜂进行大写字母和小写字母匹配的课程。

 

您可以看到在课室里嗡嗡声学习的小蜜蜂，以兴奋的方式学习匹配字母。这项活动有助于提高他们的字母识别能力。

 

对于我们幼二班的小蜜蜂来说学习华文既轻松又有趣，学习如何将动词和名词配对。 这项练习可以增强孩子对于华文的发展和理解。

 

您是否知道戴着面罩可以为您的孩子们在戴上口罩提供额外的保护？

 

在课堂上我们的小蜜蜂除了遵守社交距离，我们也准备了容易穿上又不易磨损的面罩。这些面罩可以保护整个脸部（嘴、鼻子、眼睛）免受咳嗽和打喷嚏，帮助我们的小蜜蜂防止感染任何细菌。

 

在蜂巢里，我们鼓励我们的小蜜蜂戴上面罩，因为它可以为他们提供额外的保护，并有助于防止他们接触脸部。

 

每个小蜜蜂会得到一个免费面罩，以尽可能保证他们的安全。如果您想获得额外面罩，您可以到我们的办公室购买每个RM7。

 

如果您有任何疑问或需要帮助请告诉我们，我们随时在您身边。

 

保持安全，祝大家周末愉快。

Dear families,

 

The hive is buzzing with activity again as we welcomed everyone back to the hive especially our little bees who have just joined our Labz family. Let us take a peek into what’s been buzzing this week.

 

Our little bees in Pre-Nursery turned into mini ‘Picassos’ in their art activity as they created splashes of colours on their painting with their brushstrokes while our bees in Nursery coloured their pictures creatively with a blend of different colours. These activities help enhance their fine motor skills as well as expanding their imagination.

 

Buzzing with joy, our K1 bees were on an adventure as they toured the hive with their beekeepers in getting familiar with their surroundings. Our curious bees also learned about the origins of the Indian harvest festival, ‘Pongal’ which was just around the corner.

 

With new friends joining them in class, our K2 bees took turns to introduce themselves and talked about their favourite colours, favourite food and hobbies. It was indeed a buzzing way of getting to know each other.

 

Queen Bees’ Tips To: Help Your Child Cope with Separation Anxiety When You Return to Work

 

Is your child clinging to your legs and sobbing for you to stay with them at Preschool?

 

Don’t worry, this is normal for children who suddenly have a change in routine. A new environment and seeing unfamiliar faces can be a cause of separation anxiety.

 

Our advice is to keep goodbyes short and sweet with your little one – the longer you linger, so does the anxiety. Promise them you will be return for them at a time they can understand, like saying “I will be back after you wake up from nap time”.

 

Separation anxiety can be unsettling at first but things will improve over time and your little ones will enjoy coming to school as their comfort zone widens.

 

One way our beekeepers help our little bees to cope is by getting them involved in engaging activities with music and dance as well as hands on activities that helps ease their worry.

 

If you have any questions or need help in anyway, do let us know, we’re always here for you.

 

Stay safe and have a buzzing weekend everyone.

亲爱的家长/监护人，

 

欢迎大家回到蜂巢，蜂巢又再次活跃了起来尤其是刚加入我们蜂巢的小蜜蜂以及其家长们。让我们来看看本周的热门话题。

 

我们预备幼儿班的小蜜蜂在美术活动中变成了迷你的“毕加索”，他们用画笔融入在绘画上创造了色彩的飞溅，而我们幼儿班的蜜蜂则创意地用不同的色彩给图片上色。这些活动都有助于增强他们的精细运动技能，并扩大他们的想象力。

 

我们幼一班的蜜蜂也兴奋地嗡嗡作响，他们与教师一起游览蜂巢熟悉周围的环境。我们好奇的蜜蜂还了解了到来不久的印度丰收节的起源。

 

随着新朋友不断地加入课堂，我们幼二班的蜜蜂也轮流做自我介绍，并谈论了他们最喜欢的颜色，最喜欢的食物和爱好。确实，这是一项相互了解的活动。

 

蜂王提示：帮助您的孩子应对分离焦虑当您已回到了工作岗位

 

您的孩子是否紧贴双腿并哭泣，让您在学校陪伴他们？

 

别担心，这对于突然改变常规的孩子们来说是正常的。新的环境和不熟悉的脸孔都可能是导致分离焦虑的原因。

 

我们建议是与小孩子保持短暂而甜蜜的回应，持续待留时间越长，焦虑感也会变越多。答应他们，到时间了你会回来，例如“午睡之后我会回来的”，他们也会理解。

 

起初分离焦虑会令人不安，但随着时间的流逝，情况都会有所改善，随着他们舒适圈的扩大，您的孩子会喜欢到学校上课。

 

我们的教师帮助我们的小蜜蜂应对的一种方式是让他们参与音乐，舞蹈和各种手作活动，从而减轻他们的挂虑。

 

如果您有任何疑问或需要帮助请告诉我们，我们随时在您身边。

 

保持安全，祝大家周末愉快。
