Lap booking class term 1 lesson 10

Today is our last lesson with the Saturday 2pm class. The next Saturday class will be conducted at 9am. So sad.....


We did
1. Sang Good Afternoon, Row, Row, Row your boat, Float around in canoes songs
2. Teacher Shirley read the book Boats. She asked the tots (actually only Png Png and the other boy, the rest were late) to point at the boat she named as she read along. Png Png participated in all and pointed all correctly. Teacher Shirley praised him and said mummy did homework. Sigh..... I have been teaching Png Png all the time but he was shy to participate in the past. There was only 2 tots and the other boy was running around, so pratically only Png Png sat in the class. Probably, he dare to participate because of that. He was further motivated as Teacher Shirley praised him and gave him full attention
3. Teacher Shirley returned the painting which the tots did last week and gave each tot cut out of fish, shark and shrimp. Tots had to paste the 3 sea creatures in the painting, drew eyes and paint them. After painting the sea creatures, tots could paste cut out of sea grasses of 3 different colors and cut out of coral of different colors. Png Png refused to do this activity.
Teacher Shirley asked why there are black patches in the blue ocean then answered sun light is not able to penetrate into the deep blue sea. Therefore, some parts are dark and appear to be black in color
4. Teacher Shirley gave out a piece of paper with 3 sail boat pictures. Tots had to color hull of smallest sail boat orange; hull of biggest sail boat green. All tots don't know smallest and biggest. Teacher Shirley pasted cut out of triangle shape of 3 different sizes to teach smallest and biggest. She pasted 1 big, 1 small triangle to teach big and small then added in the 3rd triangle to teach smallest and biggest. Png Png refused to color though he learned the concept of biggest and smallest Argh.....
5. Teacher Shirley rolled play dough into a shape of a ball, press it flat then folded the sides up to make a boat. She added a popsicle stick and 2 triangle paper to complete a sailboat. She narrated the process to teach tot how to make sailboat. Parents were to make sailboat with tots with the play dough, popsicle stick and triangle paper6. Sang Good bye song

My birthday

Hubby gave me a surprise by buying a birthday cake for me. He kept the cake in the fridge without my knowledge. My mum didn't know of his intention and asked me what time would I like to cut birthday cake. So, I played along and pretended I didn't know about it. It was supposed to be a surprise for me afterall. Just that the surprise came a little bit earlier and at the not so right moment. I truely appreciate it and gave my hubby a peck

My surprise



Make a wish??
Chen Chen was excited over the cake

Lap booking class term 1 lesson 9

I requested Teacher Shirley to let me stay with the 2pm class on Saturday as the boys knock off immediately upon reaching home after the class. No struggle with nap time. Teacher Shirley was so kind to agree to this arrangement but for another 2 lessons only. This class will resume 9am timing in the next term

Today we did
1. Sang Good Afternoon song
2. Tots were given roller to roll blue paint on a piece of paper and a sponge to dap black paint after finished rolling the blue paint. Png Png loves this activity
3. Teacher Shirley showed picture of propeller and rudder. She said that propeller moves in circular movement and rudder moves or rather flips back and forth. Most tots wondered away on this session
4. Tots were given a piece of paper with pictures of helicopter, aeroplane and boats. Tots had to color same color for each object but different color for the 3 objects. Parents had to guide tots to count the number of each object then write the number of each object on a round sticker to let tot paste on the square box next to the picture. Png Png messed up the coloring 5. Teacher Shirley sang Row, Row, Row your boat song and said see a crocodile wiggling it's hip; flamingo standing on one feet; hippopotamus opening it's big mouth, snake hissing. This relates back to the previous literature Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What do you hear. Png Png repeated after teacher Shirley and followed her action
