Hello Everyone! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been an amazing week for Rainbow. It\u2019s nothing but lots of fun under the summer sun. The air was filled with children\u2019s laughter as they played the day a way with friends. New friendships were born. And lasting beautiful memories were made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 1 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We started the day by welcoming new friends who will be joining us for the week. We had 4 new friends in total. We danced and sang our songs indoors, then we had water play \/ pool. Once inside, kids made their craft. We stamped colorful fireworks on a black paper. \ud83c\udf87 Kids did a great job making their art. It looked so cool and life like. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 2 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On our 2nd day we did our usual morning routine of dancing, singing and checking the attendance, then we all got ready to go play outside and have our water play \/ pool. On that day we shared the pool with Shooting Star and Milky Way class, our older brothers and sisters in school. YEY! The more the merrier. In the pool colorful balls were floating, so kids can do some fishing, they also enjoyed playing with bubbles and squirting the water gun. \ud83d\udca6\ud83d\udd2b Only trouble is kids love to get the teachers wet! \ud83d\ude02Oh! No.\ud83d\ude05 But its all good. We all had a good laugh and it’s part of being with energetic, fun loving kids. After all the fun we had outdoors, we chilled inside our room, read some books and we made yet another craft. We made Sun Catchers. The sun catchers were shaped out of sea animals. Everyone patiently stuck colorful pieces of paper on a clear sticker. This craft helps the kids focus at the same time creative. After the hard work, everyone proudly showed off their creation to their friends. Look it\u2019s a turtle, a fish, a dolphin or a starfish. \ud83d\udc1f\ud83d\udc22\ud83d\udc2c\u2b50\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 3 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the 3rd day, some new friends wanted to play outside on the playground. They wanted to go and try out the slide for the first time. So we decided to skipped our usual morning schedule to make room for what the kids wanted to do.Thankfully it wasn\u2019t so hot that day. Everyone enjoyed going up and down the slide and running about in the playground. After, we changed into our swim wear, then had our water play\/ pool. We had a water yoyo party. Kids had a blast playing with water yoyo\u2019s. Indoors we played with clay and did our craft for the day. Our craft was to stamp using bubble wrap on either a seahorse or boat cut out (stencil). \u26f5\ufe0f\ud83c\udf0a\ud83c\udf88\ud83e\ude80 It\u2019s important to encourage kids to try out new things and find out what they can do and create. Luckily this group of kids are full of healthy curiosity that they are willing to try out any given craft or art project and the results are awesome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day  4 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a rainy day like this Thursday we couldn\u2019t do our usual Water play\/Pool. So instead we spent a little more time playing with toys in the room, which the kids loved so much. Playing with toys indoors help kids socialize and they learn how to get along and share things. We also enjoyed singing and dancing our favorite songs, then we did our craft for the day, which was a seashell necklace \ud83d\udc1a. Kids were so focused on trying to thread the straw into the string. This kind of activity helps them concentrate and develops their fine motorskills. We also had time playing our favorite – clay. Then lastly we did some active play, kids balanced on beams and crawled under the hoops that where placed on the chairs. It\u2019s great that kids can get some physical exercise even indoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 5 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last day of our Summer School. We had such an eventful week. We are so glad Mr. Sun came out so we can swim in the pool and have our water play for the last time this summer, with friends. After all the fun and excitement outside, indoors we wanted to relax. So to cap it all off, we had a movie day. Using the projector we watched an educational show. Everyone was excited once we dimmed the room. It felt just like in a movie house. All we needed was just some popcorn?\ud83c\udf7f We watched Pocoyo, Bugs playing music in a band and about a train where we learned some counting.\u00a0Everyone got to relax while watching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly our Summer School 2025 has come to an end. We had so much fun playing with old and new friends this past 2 weeks. We had a blast doing different summer craft, games and other activities. We were able to try some summer treats too. We will miss everyone as we will have a week long summer break. But don\u2019t worry we will see you in no time. We Hope everyone will have an enjoyable summer vacation with family and loved ones. Take care and keep cool everyone. \ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n\n\n\n
