It
has been a royal, magical, and witch-tastic week for F1X. The fairy godmother
paid a visit to our classroom and instantly transformed it into a Royal
Castle! She even left a rack full of beautiful long gowns, royal capes, shiny
crowns and elegant tiaras for the children to wear! They were so excited to put
them on and walk around the classroom as princes, princesses, kings and
fairies. The children enjoyed some tea and cake inside the castle whilst others
danced around holding their dresses like princesses in a ball!
Of
course, Fairy Tales won’t be complete without magic wands! In the workshop area,
the children designed star and heart wands with glitter and sequins. They had a
go at sprinkling glitter around the wand. “It’s so shiny!”, said Minh Anh,
Gianna and Ngan. The children showed excellent fine motor skills as they pick up sequins and stick it into the wand one by one. They waited patiently and
when it was all dried up, it was finally time to give it a wave and say, “Bippity,
boppity, boo!”
In
the playground, the children put all their creative hands together to colour a
big castle with Ms Christine and Ms Cheska. They hurriedly put their aprons on
and had a go at sponge painting. “I want a purple castle!”, said Eine. “Green
paint please!”, said Sarah. The children made sure that they don’t mix the
paint together and that they didn't leave a spot unpainted. The castle turned
out very colourful and magical. As a final touch, Ms Christine added the
photos of the children who helped out. Well done children!
We
learned about different classic fairy tales in class this week. We watched
Cinderella, Snow White and The Little Mermaid in our IWB. The children saw
princesses, princes, kings, witches and fairies and acted them out in the
classroom. “I want to be Cinderella!” said NiNi. “I am a prince!” said Hung. We
also watched real royalties dance in a ball. The children quickly put on their
crowns, capes and gowns and looked for a partner! They all looked so adorable as they danced gracefully
with their friends.
Not
only did the children dress up as royalties, they also put on their purple
capes and witch’s hats! We made different potions all week with Ms Cheska also
known as, Witch Sabrina. She turned a tiger into a prince and made a poison
apple potion! The children helped Ms Cheska put the ingredients inside the
cauldron and mixed them up until the potion bubbled up. Of course we did not
forget to say the magic word, “ABRACADABRA!” The children were so amazed that
they tried making their own potions in the investigation area. They added
spiders, pasta, water, food colour, oats, googly eyes and mixed them all up! It was surely an entertaining week with Witch
Sabrina!
Last
Thursday, the children had a fantastic time in the Fundino playground as we
conducted Water Splash Day! Ms Crislet and Ms Precious prepared water balloons,
soap and sponges for the car wash, a big bubble tray, and opened the splash
pool. The children freely and happily explored all activities with their
teachers! It was surely the best way to end all our swimming activities this year, well done!
The children definitely enjoyed this magical
week and we will carry on with our potions and fairy dust next week. For now
it’s time we give our magic wands a rest and enjoy the weekend!
Sincerely,
Ms Christine, Ms Crislet and Ms Precious
