Month: April 2021

Dear families,

 

Hands-on learning is the best way for our littlest bees to learn their numbers, this week our little bees in Pre-N did some counting and learned the value of numbers from 1 to 5 while singing their favourite nursery rhymes. They were then given cut out ice cream cones and made ice-creams as they pasted round shaped coloured papers onto their little cones. It was a buzz to see our little bees having so much fun completing their task. This activity helped them to recognise the numbers and learn about the value of each number.

 

While on the other side of the hive, our curious K1 bees continued to buzz on their topic of Food as they learned about the different food groups in the ‘Food Pyramid’. They buzzed with excitement as they placed different types of food onto the pyramid. This exercise helped them learn that eating the right amount of food keeps the body and mind strong and healthy.

 

Gardening with children is not only fun but it also helps develop skills such as observing, identifying, communicating, predicting and inferring. With their little spades, our K2 bees started planting their little seeds. This activity helped our little bees to learn about soil condition, light and dark requirements for plants, how water travels through plants, how plants breathe and a whole lot more.

 

Stay safe and healthy Labz’ family, have a good weekend ahead!

亲爱的家长/监护人，

 

实践试学习是我们小蜜蜂学习数字的最佳方法，这一周，预备幼儿班的小蜜蜂学习了怎么数一数，唱着自己喜欢的童谣时学到了从1到5的数字。 然后，他们各自拿了剪好的冰淇淋筒，因为他们将要制作冰淇淋将圆形的彩色纸粘到冰淇淋筒上。 看到小蜜蜂完成任务真是有趣。 这项活动帮助他们识别数字并了解每个数字的价值。

 

在蜂巢的另一头，幼一蜜蜂继续了解“食物” 了解饮食金字塔里每一层不同的食物。 当他们将不同类型的食物放在金字塔上时，为其中带来了嗡嗡作响的兴奋。 这项活动帮助他们了解到，吃适量并保持均匀的食物使身心保持健康。

 

与孩子们一起从事园艺不仅有趣，而且还有助于发展例如：观察，识别，交流，预测和推断等等技能。 有了这些小铲子，我们幼二班的蜜蜂开始种植他们的小种子。 这项活动帮助我们的小蜜蜂了解土壤状况，植物的需求，水如何输入到植物中，植物如何呼吸以及更多其它的知识。

 

Labz 家族们请保持安全健康，并祝您有一个愉快的周末！

Dear families,

 

“Exercise is king. Nutrition is Queen. Put them together and you’ve got a Kingdom”, said Jack Lalane.

 

A line that best reflected the week our buzzing little bees have had at the hive. Our little bees had a buzzing time during their indoor play this week, from Pre-Nursery to K2, they buzzed through playing ‘the ball into the mouse hole’, parachute play, hula hoop jump and many more.

 

These activities help our little bees gain strength and confidence in their bodies as they develop motor skills such as strength, speed, endurance, coordination, flexibility, agility and balance.

 

“Teacher! I like ice cream but I don’t like to eat vegetables” and “I don’t like to drink milk” said our K1 bees. The curious bees buzzed into their new theme on ‘food’ describing the type of food they liked and disliked to their fellow bees.

 

They were then asked if the food they liked were healthy or unhealthy. Matching pictures of healthy and unhealthy food according to their categories, our curious bees learned the importance of having a balanced diet.

 

As part of their activity, they learned to make fruit kebabs while in their art lesson, they made ‘eggs in a pan’.

 

In light of several confirmed cases of Covid-19 across education centres in Ipoh, we would like to reassure our mummy and daddy bees that as part of our SOPs in keeping our little bees safe and healthy, our buzzing hive is sanitised and cleaned daily. From toys to resources, tables and chairs, door knobs and all common surface areas are cleaned daily.

 

To learn more about the SOPs we have in place at the hive, click here.

 

Bee well “Labz Families”, stay safe and take care.

 

Have a great weekend.

亲爱的家长/监护人，

 

“运动是国王。营养是女王。把它们放在一起，你就拥有了一个王国。”——杰克·拉兰内。

 

这句话最能反映出我们的小蜜蜂在蜂巢里度过的这一周。我们的小蜜蜂在本周的室内游戏中度过了一段愉快的时光。从预备幼儿班到幼二班，他们在玩 “球进老鼠洞”、降落伞游戏、呼啦圈跳跃等活动中度过了愉快的时光。

 

这些活动帮助我们的小蜜蜂发展运动技能，例如力量，速度，耐力，协调性，柔韧性，敏捷性和平衡力，从而增强自己对身体的力量和信心。

 

我们幼一班的小蜜蜂说：“老师，我喜欢吃冰淇淋，但我不喜欢吃蔬菜！” 好奇的蜜蜂们在新的主题——《食物》中嗡嗡作响，并且向他们的同伴描述了他们喜欢和不喜欢的食物类型。

 

然后，他们被问到他们喜欢的食物是否是健康的。通过根据类别，对健康和不健康食品进行匹配，我们好奇的蜜蜂们了解到均衡饮食的重要性。作为活动的一部分，他们学会了制作水果串，而在艺术课上，他们制作了 “平底锅中的鸡蛋”。

 

鉴于怡保各教育中心发生了几起新冠病毒（Covid-19）的确诊病例，我们想向我们的蜜蜂妈妈和蜜蜂爸爸保证，作为我们保持小蜜蜂安全和健康的标准运作流程（SOP）的一部分，我们热闹的蜂巢每天都会进行消毒和清洗。从玩具到资源，我们每天都会对桌椅、门把手和所有的公共区域进行清洗。

 

如果想了解更多关于我们在蜂巢中的标准运作流程（SOP），请点击这里。

 

蜜蜂家族，注意安全和保重身体。

 

祝您周末愉快。

Dear families,

 

Walking past our Nursery classes we could hear a familiar clicking sound, taking a peek we could see our little bees raising their hands and snapping their fingers singing,

 

“We are clicking castanets….c k…c k…. c k. We are clicking castanets …. c k….c k….c k… We are clicking castanets, clicking castanets, we are clicking castanets …c k… c k… c k”

 

It was such a buzz watching them have so much fun doing the action together and remembering the sound.

 

“Saya ada TV besar di rumah” said our little bee as our curious K1 bees started on a new topic in their Bahasa lesson, “Ini rumah saya”. Learning about the different sections of a house, they labelled the things that can be found in each section. The little bees then talked about their house to their fellow bees, they were so excited to learn new words this week.

 

Children learn through play and sand is no different, coming back to our Nursery bees, they had an enjoyable time kneading “Moon Sand”. All they needed was two cups of flour, one cup of oil and a few drops of food colouring, kneading all the ingredients together until the colour was distributed equally. A messy activity but it gives them the opportunity to explore the soft and crumbly texture of the moon sand.  This activity gives our little bees the freedom to explore, create and ask questions, most of all enhance their sensory skills.

 

We would like to wish all our Muslim families “Selamat Berpuasa”. Stay safe everyone and have a buzzing weekend.

亲爱的家长/监护人，

 

路过我们幼儿班的时候，我们能听到熟悉的咔嚓声。偷看一下，就能看到我们的小蜜蜂们正打着响板在唱歌。

 

“我们正在打着响板。。。我们正在打着响板，打着响板，我们正在打着响板。。。。。。”

 

看着他们一起做动作，记住声音，真是太热闹了。

 

我们的小蜜蜂说：“我家有一个很大的电视机。”我们好奇的幼一班小蜜蜂们开始了他们的马来语课程中的一个新主题—《这是我的房子》。学习了房子的不同部分后，他们标出了每个部分可以找到的东西，而且，小蜜蜂们也向同伴们讲述了他们的房子。由于这周学习了新的单词，他们都很兴奋。

 

孩子们能在游戏中学习，沙子自然也不例外。回到我们幼儿班的小蜜蜂，他们在揉 “月沙 “时玩得很开心。他们只需要两杯面粉、一杯油和几滴食用色素，然后把所有的材料揉在一起，直到颜色分布均匀。这是个乱七八糟的活动，却让他们有机会探索月沙的柔软和碎屑的质感。 这个活动给了我们的小蜜蜂自由探索、创造和提问的机会，最重要的是提高了他们的感官能力。

 

在此，我们祝愿所有的穆斯林家庭斋戒快乐。大家注意安全，祝您有个热闹的周末。

Dear families,

 

This week our little bees go through the topics they’ve learnt in their first term as they prepare for more buzzing themes as they fly into Term 2.

 

“This is my father, kind and dear, this is my mother, sitting near, this is my brother, strong and tall, this is my sister playing a ball, this is baby smallest of all. See my family large and small.”

 

Sang our little bees in Pre-Nursery to the tune of “Twinkle, twinkle little star” as they began on their new theme of learning, “Family”. With that they began to have a better understanding of what makes a family.

 

What do full day children do after they wake up from their naps?

 

After indulging into pancakes, cakes, cookies and many more for tea break, our little bees engage in activities from story-telling to reading, solving jigsaw puzzles to music and movement. Practice writing numbers and letters using the sand tray and not forgetting art and craft. Activities like these help our little bees explore and discover new interest, helping them develop into curious lifelong learners.

 

Although such activities do take place during normal school hours, being engaged in activities like these after school provides further enhancement to their ability and skills which is an added advantage. So, it’s not just sleep and await mummy and daddy bees to fetch them home.

 

If you’d like to know more about the activities of our full day children, do send us a buzz, we’re always buzzing to hear from you.

 

Stay safe and have a great weekend ahead.

亲爱的家长/监护人，

 

本周，我们的小蜜蜂们复习了第一学期所学的课题，同时也为飞入第二学期后更多热闹的课题做准备。

 

“This is my father, kind and dear, this is my mother, sitting near, this is my brother, strong and tall, this is my sister playing a ball, this is baby smallest of all. See my family large and small.”

 

在《一闪一闪的小星星 》的旋律中，在预备幼儿班的小蜜蜂唱起了儿歌，并且开始了他们新的学习主题——《家庭》。随之，他们开始对什么是家庭有了更深的理解。

 

全天制的孩子们午睡醒来后都在做什么呢？

 

在尽情享受煎饼、蛋糕、饼干等多种茶歇后，我们的小蜜蜂们会参与到讲故事、阅读、解拼图、音乐和运动等活动中。此外，还有练习用沙盘写数字和字母。当然，也不要忘了美术和手工制作。这些活动可以帮助我们的小蜜蜂们探索和发现新的兴趣，并有助于他们成长为充满好奇心的终身学习者。

 

虽然在正常的上课时间也有进行这些活动，但在课后参与这些活动，可以进一步提高他们的能力和技能，这是一个额外的优势。所以，这不仅仅是睡觉和等待蜜蜂妈妈和蜜蜂爸爸来接他们回家。

 

如果您想了解更多关于我们全日制孩子的活动，请给我们发个信息，我们随时欢迎您的到来。

 

注意安全，祝您周末愉快。

Dear families,

 

Can you believe it? We’re at the end of the first term where our little bees in Pre-N focused on developing their motor skills while our Nursery bees improved on their hand writing skills. On the other side of the hive, we saw our curious K1 and K2 bees expanding on their language learning skills in Mandarin and Bahasa Malaysia.

 

‘What is the number children? It’s the number four!” said our little nursery bees as they learned to recognise numbers by rolling a dice. The little bees then mentioned the number on the dice, picked the correct number of counters and placed them next to the correct number. From this activity, children have a better understanding of the concept of numbers and their values.

 

‘Roll, roll roll…!’, buzzed our Nursery bees as they rolled a ball towards the stacked-up plastic cups. They buzzed with excitement as the ball knocked over the cups. This activity helps develop hand-eye coordination, gross motor skills and spatial awareness. At the same time, children learned to count as they counted the number of cups being knocked down and the number of cups still standing.

 

We ended our buzzing week at the hive with art and craft activities based on the theme of Easter with our little bees creating colourful pictures of eggs, bunny envelopes filled with candy, egg baskets, and many more.

 

Wishing everybody a great weekend ahead, stay safe and take care.

亲爱的家长/监护人，

 

你能相信吗？在第一学期结束的时候，我们在预备幼儿班的小蜜蜂专注于发展他们的运动技能，而幼儿班的小蜜蜂们则提高了他们的手写能力。在蜂巢的另一边，我们看到好奇心强的幼一班和幼二班的小蜜蜂们正在扩展他们的华语和马来语的语言学习能力。

 

当我们幼儿班的小蜜蜂通过掷骰子来学习认识数字时，他们说：“小朋友，这是什么数字？是四！”随后，小蜜蜂们说了骰子上的数字和选取了正确的数量，并将其放在正确的数字旁边。从这个活动中，孩子们对数字的概念及其数值有了更深的理解。

 

“滚，滚，滚。。。。。。”当我们幼儿班的小蜜蜂将一个球滚向堆积起来的塑料杯时，他们发出了嗡嗡声。当小球打翻塑料杯时，它们兴奋地发出嗡嗡声。这个活动有助于发展孩子们的手眼协调能力、粗大运动技能和空间意识。同时，孩子们还学会了数数，他们数着被打倒的杯子数量和还屹立的杯子数量。

 

最后，我们以复活节为主题的美术和手工活动结束了在蜂巢热闹的一周，小蜜蜂们创作了五彩缤纷的彩蛋图、装满糖果的小兔子信封、蛋篮等。

 

祝愿大家周末愉快，注意安全和保重身体。
