St. Patrick's Day

In Malaysia, we do not celebrate St. Patrick's day but I think it is always an advantage for the children to learn about others cultures and festival. I've mounted photos of shamrock, St. Patrick and leprechaun, with short sentences, and had it laminated. I had it then pasted on the wall ( eye level) for the children to see and read. This way children not only able to relate based on the stories that we told them but also to improve their words vocabulary.  We decorated the bulletin board with shamrock, rainbow and a pot of gold with the labels. We had the children's foot print on the wall and labelled it "leprechaun's footprint". We also made leprechaun from a paper plate. Happy St. Patty's day to all.

Halloween Party

It's that time of the year again. It's Halloween!! As a matter of fact, halloween party wasn't on my list-to-do in 2010. But much to the persuasion of the parents ( Yes you read it right, the parents not the children), I organised it. So..who says only children love halloween? While the children look forward to attend in their costumes and treats, the parents look forward to mingle with each other and have a feast. Everyone loves the decorations, costumes, trick-or-treating around the neighbourhood and also the scrumptious buffet spread that we had. This year, we have games lined up for the children and parents too. The parents took part in pictionary and scary sandwich making. Whereas the children played with candy tossing game and witch cone hunt. We definitely had a creep-tastic halloween.
