Project-Based Learning

Vincy did PBL in her childcare centre about a month ago. Mummy had no time to update cos I am very busy with work and the renovation for our new home. Back to her PBL, the N1 children have chosen the insect-grasshopper as their theme project.

Her scrapbook: There were detailed information about the whole project and pictures of Vincy at work making different handicrafts. The teachers also brought them to Butterfly park in Sentosa to see the real insects.

 Things that she had made:

Mummy was impressed!

Playing fight!

My rough kids playing fight at home:

丑小鸭

Vincy is learning this 丑小鸭 dance for her year end concert. This will be her last concert with Lovingkids cos I will be changing a childcare for her soon. Mummy can only make out 丑小鸭,

丑小鸭, 腿儿短短......走起路来......，from her whole song, oops!

She requested to perform in the concert this year, so I hope she will really dance on the stage this year  unlike last year when she just stood motionless there.
In case she does not dance on the stage this year, this is how the dance looks like:

Creativity at work

Clarence's Maths teacher was absent the other day and he made a Captain America shield using drawing paper and colour pencils. Too bad mummy threw it away cos he said he made it wrongly. Then on the second day, he made a Spiderman mask during the teacher's absence. My boss was happy with his son's creativity. Cos I told him no more buying of toys this year since we already got the Xbox for him. So he resorted to making toys that he like. Haha! (Actually he prefers to buy the real ones.)

Although the mask was not that nicely made, mummy still took pictures for him to see when he grows up. He got his classmate to cut out the eye area and daddy taught him to attach the rubber bands so that he can put it on.

 A bit too big, haha!

Good effort, son! I told him to measure his face and eye area before he make another mask next time.

High heels

Super vain gal trying on my high heels.

She can walk in my high-heels shoes: 

Proud

Clarence showed me this medal when I picked him up from his studentcare today:

I am so proud of him. I asked him if his Maths teacher give out medals in term 2. He said yes. When I asked him how come he did not mention about the medal to me in term 2, he told me because he did not get any medal in term 2 so he did not tell me about it. Faint!

Term 3 Progress Report 2011

The moment of truth again:

One last term to go! A short one for Clarence cos they only have 8 weeks in term 4. 加油 for both mummy and Clarence!

Exchange

Found some of these coupons in Clarence's wallet the other day. He is trying to collect these coupons to exchange for some toy in school. Every time he purchase cereal from the breakfast stall, he will get a coupon. He needs 10 to exchange for a toy.

He came home on Monday with an iron-man toy. He managed to collect 10 coupons to exchange for the toy.

In the game

Vincy always wants to play the Xbox games with her gor gor. She will take the other controller, start pressing the buttons and think that she is in the game with her gor gor. 

唱月亮，迎中秋

Mummy rushed to pick Vincy and drop off Clarence at school at 4pm yesterday for his P1 CL speech and drama cum Mid-Autumn Festival celebration in school yesterday. When I came back from my retail therapy session, I saw my happy boy in class having his snack before changing into his costume.

He was the 大灰狼:

In a rush to send them up the stage, the teacher forgot to attach the wireless microphone to Clarence, so we could not hear his lines clearly when he was performing on stage. :(

After the performance, the kids went back to class to collect their lanterns and walked one round around the school compound. My darlings with their angry bird lanterns:

The class potluck in the school canteen after everything.

Relaxing Sunday

We went over to our new house last Sunday to let the kids swim there. While the kids were having fun in the pool, bought MacDonalds breakfast for us and had a pool side breakfast there.

My sniper:

Vincy is getting more daring in the pool now. She dared to move around in the wading pool without holding on the side.

After the swim, they went over to the playground to play.

Then both of them went for a dip in the jacuzzi pool before calling it a day.

Found some flowers in the pool so mummy put the flowers on the ears to pose for a picture.

So happy to see the kids enjoying themselves in the pool and playground.  Vincy even asked us to go back to the empty house after lunch. :) Glad that we did not sell away the house after all. We enjoyed our relaxing Sunday.
