Dear Parents

Annual Vision Check

(Joy and Peace)

Every year, the Joy and Peace children will have their vision screened by the Health Promotion Board.

This exercise aims to to prevent and reduce the early onset of myopia.

Prior the vision screening, they were given important tips to take care of their eyes.

The screening process was conducted in a very fun way….

just look at the “special colourful glasses” on the children!

301 Upper Paya Lebar Road S(534934) Tel:6287 1209 Fax:6287 7980 Page 2

With the increasing number of young children developing myopia, we have to play our part

and encourage our children to develop good eye care habits.

We begin our journey into Egypt Peace Joy Love (1&2)

We discussed about the camels and how they adapt to the harsh conditions in the desert.

And we proceeded to making our camels!

Once they have finished colouring the camel template, they tried something new …

They had to clip the wooden pegs onto their camels!

Mass Activity

This game needs no introduction!

It is straightforward- Move when the music is playing, and find a stool to sit on when the music stops!

Specific instructions were given on how to move about.

Hop

Skip and wave hands

Then rushing for a seat when the music stopped!

Check out some of their smug faces ~

What a time of fun to welcome the new week!

Love 1 & 2

The Love children practiced their coordination and balance skills

that they learned the previous week with a little elevation!

With their hands on the stools and feet on the ground, they went around the stools!

301 Upper Paya Lebar Road S(534934) Tel:6287 1209 Fax:6287 7980 Page 14

Learning to balance themselves on each stool and moving to the next…

Now with legs outstretch!

Closing game… Find the colour!

301 Upper Paya Lebar Road S(534934) Tel:6287 1209 Fax:6287 7980 Page 15

With the stools spread out, a colour is given and the children were to run and touch

the corresponding colour stool as quickly as possible.

This helps to develop their reaction time, listening skills and agility.

Joy & Peace

The Joy & Peace children did a relay of:

1. Sprinting around a bend

2. Hurdling over blocks

3. High knee drill

Besides executing those skills, passing a baton is one skill to learn too, in a relay!

The children learn to anticipate the passing,

by stretching out their arms to pass and receive the baton 😊

Aesthetics (Cooking)

Hahah !!! We attempted during our cooking lesson …

to construct the pyramid with our fruits …grapes, apples and honeydew.

Notice the 3-D construction!

It was quite fun and enjoyable for everyone … especially when we “ate our pyramid” with chocolate sauce …

See us at our “construction work” ….

with what we were given – fruits and toothpicks

Learning about the pyramids of Egypt

Resemblance ……..

301 Upper Paya Lebar Road S(534934) Tel:6287 1209 Fax:6287 7980 Page 18

Different methods of construction – skewering individual fruit; skewering the fruits as a string …

The final product of an unique pyramid (no two lookalike pyramids!!!) of each individual’s creation ……

“Ooh … we’re done!” and raring to go ……. on with the chocolate sauce

301 Upper Paya Lebar Road S(534934) Tel:6287 1209 Fax:6287 7980 Page 19

Yums! Yums! Yums! … and some of us constructed more pyramids …

Love 1 & 2

Think the 3-D pyramids would be challenging for the little ones … so just 2-D … square and triangle

Precise 7 toothpicks each – 4 for the square and 3 for the triangle

It’s grapes and pears

301 Upper Paya Lebar Road S(534934) Tel:6287 1209 Fax:6287 7980 Page 20

A real joy to have “cook-time” with the little ones - they are always so engaging !!!

Great concentration and effort needed !

Many ways of doing our squares and triangles …. And they all look GREAT !!!

It’s that time of the year …. preparing for the year end graduation cum concert

We take time each day to practise for the different items …..

Can you already guess what musical instruments they are playing?
