Parents Volunteer

Today is the deadline for submission of our form to the prospective primary school which we hope that our Jamie will be able to study there for her primary levels education. After much discussion, we decided to volunteer CQ , his photography & videography services and hope that he will be selected so that we will have a very high chance for her.

Excursion III

I received a letter from Jamie's school to invite Jamie for a 1/2 day excursion to the Underwater World at Sentosa on 3rd October. I'll definitely approve her of going since its also in tie with their Term 3 theme which is ---------- FISH----------- !!

Theme for the Term

Unless we take the effort to chat with the form teacher regularly, else we won't know exactly what our kids are learning since they don't report everything to us. So one of my purpose of "exploring" the school notice boards during Saturdays when I send Jamie for her Mandarin Speech & Drama class, is to check it out myself! Hey, don't say I'm kiasu hor... I just wanna keep abreast of what she is learning so that I don't do repetitive work at home mah :D

Term 3 School Holiday Homework

I love Saturdays cos this is the only day I can roam around the school's compound with ease. Saw the notice board outside Jamie's classroom showcasing their Term 3 homework. Thought I can't find our craftwork but its there!!! Out of 100 over nursery students, ours is one of the 45 odd face puppets that were selected.

Homework

Bought this from Popular days ago and I quickly let her try it. First few pages are quite easy so Jamie don't have problem doing it. Also started teaching Jamie using some of the grammar activities books I've bought last year. She did these 2 pages by herself.

Our Little Teacher

Jamie has taken a step to teach her lil bro'. Sometimes she will help me to make sure that Jeremy is not playful or when he is attempting to do something dangerous like climbing up the sofa, she will report it to our helper or myself. It's really good to see her demonstrating her role in the family and being able to play her part as Jeremy's elder sister.

Jamie's 1st Stencil Craft Work

Here's some of her works done over my art class last week.

Last Day of My HobbyCraft (Stencil Painting)

Jamie was exceptionally talkative and playful today! And she happened to choose the most difficult fruits to do! OMG... it took her longer that expected to do. It's very tiring for me to conduct a straight 5 days art lessons with the kids but I'm going to miss it....... hope I can conduct regular lessons at home.

Jamie's 1st Scrapbook

This is Jamie's work. I think she did it quite well. She is very good in cutting and can cut on rather accurately. However she needs more practise in her creative drawing, whahahahaaa!!

Day 04 of My HobbyCraft (Scrapbook)

I like today's craftwork as its also one of my favourite hobby! The kids had the chance to hands on with cutting, gluing, pasting, painting, drawing and writing!! They were quite hyperactive and excited throughout the lesson. I started with the introduction of what is scrapbook? Showed them what materials are usually used. Tomorrow will be the last lesson but I think I may have more of such ad-hoc lessons going on at home as and when there's a demand.

Animal Card Making

Clay Making

I have 4 kids including Jamie & am pleased to see that they were very cooperative in helping out preparing, cleaning & keeping the materials. The only thing is, I need to be bilingual as one of the child doesn't really converse well in English. But that's fine, at least Jamie is also learning to listen to instructions in Mandarin, whahahaaha!!

Fancy Face Mask

Today is the 1st day of My Hobbycraft since the start of the school holiday. Can tell Jamie enjoyed herself very much when she learnt and worked with her friends. She is the most chatty among them. Today we did the frog's mask. Looks easy but there's alot of preparations & steps for them to follow through.

Teachers' Day Gift

I came up with the design and we did it together. Too bad I don't get one for myself though I consider myself a teacher to Jamie.

Telescope

Papa took out Ah Gong's telescope, hoping to have a closer look of the moon. But its was a cloudy night, too bad then!

Playdough Time

Since I'm free from Jamie, I quickly took out Jamie's playdough and played with Jeremy for a short while. He is now better with his pinching skills.

Papa & Jeremy

Papa was very free today and he took quite alot of his time off to spend with the kids, especially Jeremy. Jeremy loves football and automobile.

Jamie's 1st Camping @ Home

Bought this tent for quite a while and have been kept away since then till few days ago when CQ promised Jamie that he will "camp" with her one of these days.. So here it is! An Enormous tent indeed!

Vegetable Farm Visit

This is Jamie's 2nd excursion with her school. They are learning about Fruits & Vegetable this term. I love to send her off for such school excursions as I think she probably enjoys better going out with school. Click here for more details about Aeroponic Vegetables.

My Hobby Craft

Am combining our creative ideas and hopefully to run my 1st art & craft lessons at home this coming September school holiday.
