Fun with Doughs, the Parachute, and More!

The Malleable Area was such a busy area this week!  On Monday, the children made some nice and soft blue playdough.  F1X children poured the ingredients in the bowl and nicely took turns in mixing them together.  When the dough was made, they also had a go at kneading.  They enjoyed tapping, rolling, squeezing, and moulding the playdough into different shapes. Some also thought that the playdough looked like cake and said--"Yummy in my tummy!".

Another thing that we made at the Malleable Area was a quicksand dough.  It was our first time to make quicksand dough in class using cornflour, play sand, water, and some food colour.  The children really found its gooey texture interesting!

The Malleable Area is a very good area that practises children's fine motor skills through different hand movements such as squeezing, rolling, tapping, and moulding.  When children join in making different kinds of dough, they also practise their counting, measuring, and communication skills.  With all these, the F1X team is truly happy that all our children love the Malleable Area!

Splashpool sessions this week are still a big hit for the children!  We are very happy that most children are now very confident in the splashpool and are also enjoying their time using different kinds of splashpool toys.  This for sure will keep on improving their gross motor skills! 

We are very pleased that our new children in F1X have been settling in well in class and have also been participating in our different activities and routines.  Most of the new children have already started going to the splashpool and also to the music room to see Mr. Robbie.  Well done to our new children!

This week, the children also enjoyed music time with Mr. Robbie as they were able to have a chance to play the drums for a longer time.  They have also been learning a new song that will be sung in front of mummies and daddies soon! 

The children also had some fun in a different outdoor venue this week--the foyer!  On Wednesday, Ms. Crislet took the children out to the foyer for Circle Time to play with the parachute. Everyone was so happy and giggly to be playing with the very large parachute.  We sang songs, made a very big circle, and also made a ball roll over the parachute.  It was such a fantastic Circle Time!

This week, Ms. Precious and Ms. Tam read the story "We're Going on a Bear Hunt".  This story is about a family's exciting adventure looking for a bear.  Next week, the children shall be enjoying new activities and a new Role-Play Area with this theme.  We shall be having our very own bear hunt soon!  How exciting! ^_^


REMINDERS: 

• Please return library folders ON/OR BEFORE WEDNESDAY MORNING so your child can continue borrowing a library book on that day.  

Well done to all our children for being wonderful and fantastic this week!  You all deserve an amazing weekend!  :)  See you next week! 

Sincerely,

Ms. Clarissa, Ms. Crislet, Ms. Precious, and the rest of the F1X Team
