Annabelle’s Essay

This evening when I went to Mahkota wanted to fetch both Issac and Annabelle, Teacher Yang so happily told me that Annabelle’s Chinese essay have been improve. She asked me to go and read her essay which just put on the notice board.

It is really quite a surprise for me to see this! I never thought that Annabelle can have the ideas of writing the essay so good. She is all the while so reluctant to speak in Mandarin and most of the time speaking and converse in English with us and her friends.

May be it is due to she have no choice and have to learn to speak in Mandarin when she is studying in SRJKC Chee Wen now.

Well, anyhow this is a good start for her and I am happy to see this ^^

Noah’s Ark Paper Plate Craft

I first came across this Paper Plate Noah’s Ark craft when I was preparing the lesson for the Sunbeam class searching through the internet for an extra art and craft activities that would make the children interested in learning.

I intend to have the Sunbeam children doing this craft as we are learning about the Lord’s creations which including animals. I did some modifications as I used some more economical materials which I can find.

You'll Need:

• White colour Paper Plate
• Brown colour Paper Plate
• Colour pens
• Blue colour construction paper
• Scissors
• Glues
• Staples
• Draw or print out the animals in pairs ( I printed out from this website: http://www.firstpalette.com, there are so many types of animals to choose from)
  

To Make:

1. Colour and cut out the animal print-outs or drawings. I printed out these animals sets on A4 paper size card stocks. After cutting out, just put aside.
2. Take 1 white colour paper plate use as the background of the sky, and draw a rainbow using the colour pens.
3. Take1 brown colour paper plate and cut it into half and use one half to form the front ark. Cut out 3 circles to form the port holes of the ark. Using brown and black colour pens to draw out the planks.
4. Cut out waves shapes using blue colour construction paper and glue it on the brown colour ark.
5. Start to arrange the animals, either glue it behind the brown colour ark.
6. When these had been done, glue the brown colour ark onto the rainbow paper plate to form a pocket.
7. You can decorate the rainbow paper plate by glue the regular size craft sticks to form a wooden house shape and glue the Prophet Noah at the side too.

After I have done a sample, both Issac and Annabelle were so excited and happy to see this craft.

I feel happy as well because I do not know I can create such a nice and attractive craft. I am sure the Sunbeam children would love it very much ^^

Issac’s LED Alarm Project

Little Tree Craft ^^

We learned about “I Am Thankful for the Trees Plants and Flowers” today, that trees, plants, and flowers make the earth a beautiful place to live in.

Trees are important to us because trees provides shade or home, trees provides food or fruits, trees provide shade or a place to play, trees provides fire woods, and there are so many things that are made of wood.

Flowers make our world beautiful, and Plants provide us food.

After the little games we have with the children on counting the fruits and vegetables, then we have our craft for this week!

You'll Need:

• Brown colour pens or crayons
• Green colour construction papers
• Glues
• Decorative flowers stickers

To Make:

1. First, draw a tree trunk and colour the tree trunk in brown colour.

2. Cut the green colour construction paper or green colour tissue paper into small pieces. Or alternatively can use the puncher to punch the green colour paper into tiny small round shapes. I used both methods and I prepare for all the children.

3. Add the glue onto one section on top of the coloured brown tree trunk and then scrunch and add the pre-prepared green colour paper onto it. Continue adding glue and tissue paper to different sections as you like to shape the tree as you want to.

4. After glued the greens on the paper, then let the children start adding flowers stickers on the places they want to, they can colour the background as they like.

They were having fun doing it, as they just use their hands to pat the green leaves onto the paper!

  

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Puchong Branch Primary Activity Day ~ Fun Water Day

This is the first time we are having the swimming activity here at our house.

May be it is due to the first time, and our home is too far from others members house, not too much children and parents turns out.

We have President Tai’s Hannah and Branson; Sister Amy’s Chen Chen and Ah Lun; Sister Jennifer’s Miguel and our Issac and Annabelle only.

Everybody was so excited including the adults too, eagerly jumped into the pool after our opening prayer!

The children love the safari theme which all the animals sculpture.

Such as giraffe, elephants, crocodiles, deer and lions scattered around while they were walking through the lazy river float water.

They love the ‘dancing water’ which jump out from the floor nozzles too, and get themselves wet with the water splashing around!

They love the sand playground which have a little slide and swings, and even a gazebo too!

There is a wooden bridge which connected the sand playground and the greenery strolling path surrounds the swimming pools.

We started the activity around 10.00am, after one and a half hour, we gathered all the children.

Invite all to come up to our home to take their bath, changed and had a small snacks which prepared by the sisters, together with all the children parents.

It is a fun and first ever Primary activity of the year in our home, together with the kids!
