Dear Mommy and Daddy,

This week I learned about space and how big our playground when we running around like an airplane. I also like to know how long the basketball court is when we raced across the court from one end to the other. I started running even before Chai Lao Zhi had finished counting, “yi, er, san”.

When we are outdoor, I loved to use my sense of sight. I usually liked to look at the clock tower, the highest point of Ulu Pandan C.C. Teacher Deborah would tell us the time, “It’s ten o’clock now.” I also loved to look at the clear blue sky and the white cloud moving above us slowly. I also loved to use my sense of hearing. I usually keep my ears wide open to hear the sound of airplanes. Teacher Deborah said, “Look, what’s that in the sky?” One boy said, “HELICOPTER!” All of us started waving and shouting at the top of our voice - “Hi, Hi, We’re here!”.... “Bye-bye”.

I liked to use my hands to pick up little objects and glued them onto a piece of paper. Teacher Deborah measured my face with a piece of woolen thread. Then she cut it and laid it out like a circle. I’ve great imagination...“I’ve pasted two straw pieces as my eyes; two curved macaronis as my ears; a stick as my nose and a leaf as my mouth.” “Walla, I’ve a face and I loved it, even though, it might not be quite like me!”
I felt good when I drew and wrote on the big space called “Free Expression” whenever and however I wanted it. One boy said, “I draw my mummy!”

Dear Mommy and Daddy,

I had a fun week with lots of different activities. I celebrated my friend, Iman’s birthday from toddlers’ class. We put on our favorite masks and party hats as we always do when we go to a party. We played a balloon that was going up in the air and touched the ceiling; we are so happy to receive a goody bag from Iman.

I liked to sing the song, “Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun, please shine down on me, Mr. Sun, Sun, please come out and play with me.” when we are outdoor at the playground. Teacher Deborah pointed out to us, “Look, your shadow is following you. I liked to chase after my own shadow and stepped on the shadows as they moved in front of us. When teacher Deborah rolled the Hula Loops like a wheel, I loved to chase after it and catch it before it fell to the ground.

Frederick, my friend, shared his toy trains with us. I watched the train moving along the track; it passed through a bridge, then, through a tunnel, and finally arrived at a train station. I loved to sing this song, “Down by the station, early in the morning, sees the puffer bellies all in a row...” Teacher Deborah read for us a story book about “Thomas and His friends”. We loved it so much and one boy said, “Can you read again?”

We had a fun cooking lesson with teacher Deborah. We made a long train with many coaches and wheels. Teacher Deborah gave me a big slice of bread and I painted my coach with my favorite jam. Our coaches have many colors. Finally, teacher Deborah gave us some round crackers and we placed many wheels on the coaches. We are so happy to see our long train when it was done. I liked the part when teacher Deborah put my own coach and wheels on a plate; “It’s yummy!”

Teacher Deborah brought us to a garden. We spotted many snails in the garden especially after the rain; some were hanging under the leaves and some were climbing up the stem. We saw many snail shells lying on the ground but they were not moving. So we picked them up one by one and placed them in a little basket. Teacher Deborah put them in a bucket of water and we saw them floating up on the water but we didn’t find any snail!

Daddy just received an email from teacher Deborah. This is what she wrote:

On the first day of school, teacher Deborah welcomed me and introduced me to a few new friends. Then we played different kinds of fun and creative activities in the classroom. We took a tour round the school and saw other friends’ classrooms. Teacher Deborah gave us different colours of home-made play dough. We loved to use our hands to create our favorite food such as hot-dog, curry-puff, etc. by rolling, pressing and cutting shapes.

On the second day of school - one boy picked up a book about train and teacher Deborah read for us. We just loved singing this song, “Puffer train, puffer train, noisy little puffer train...” when going to the toilet. We enjoyed singing nursery rhymes.

<<4th>>
On the third day of school, we had a jolly good time with an outdoor activity. We jumped from one hula loop to the next, chased and kicked balls in an enclosed compound. Parents also joined us in the fun. Teacher Deborah as the goal keeper who discovered we just love to score goals like “Fandi”. One child said, “I am so HAPPY.” Whenever we completed a picture puzzle, teacher Deborah congratulated us with a “Hi 5” clap.

Dear Mommy and Daddy,

This week, I had a wonderful time with my friends at school. I was exploring my favorite play-dough, making a birthday cake for teacher Deborah. We sang her a Birthday song. Then we took our turn to blow the candles from Teacher Deborah’s fingers.

After lunch, I liked to measure my weight and my height everyday. It was fun to see the needle moving as I stood on the weighing machine and teacher Deborah would read out my weight to me. I wish I could grow taller so that I could run my finger up to touch the Giant’s castle at the top of the chart. It was fun to run my finger down quickly so that the giant can’t catch me. I learn about opposite words such as “up” and “down” this week.

I like to explore a new toy called the pounding balls rack. I was so curious to see the balls sliding down as I hit the ball with a wooden hammer. The little ball went through the hole and sliding down and before I knew it, it was already at the bottom of the rack. But teacher Deborah taught me to share this toy with my friends, and so, I learned to take turn to play this toy.

I learned better when I sang and danced in class; I pretended to brush our teeth, and after that, I showed off my clean white teeth with my wide-opened mouth. I also like to wear masks and pretended to be a flower girl, and sometimes, a princess or an octopus. I also liked to explore with coloured paints; teacher Deborah told me that I had just made purple when I mixed red and blue paints together.
