Hello everyone! This week, we\u2019re back to our regular schedule! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

UOI<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, our Aurora class had an exciting field trip to MilGreen Farm<\/strong>! The children were filled with surprise\u2014and a little bit of nervousness\u2014when they saw a cow up close for the very first time. We were especially lucky to witness a truly unforgettable moment: the birth of a calf! The children watched in awe as the mother cow gently cleaned her newborn and carefully helped it try to stand on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After this heartwarming experience, we headed to the farm\u2019s ice cream shop, where the ice cream is made with fresh milk from their very own cows. Needless to say, it was a huge hit\u2014everyone loved it so much that the kids were asking for more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a wonderful day full of learning, discovery, and sweet treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a long summer break, we had our very first dance lesson\u2014and the kids couldn\u2019t have been more excited!

Swimming<\/strong> lesson<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a long summer break, both the Aurora and Shooting Star kids returned to their swimming lessons with great excitement. What stood out was their independence\u2014they were able to get ready smoothly and on time, showing how much responsibility they have gained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the lessons, the children practiced a variety of swimming styles, each one building on the skills they had learned before the break. It was wonderful to see their confidence growing in the water as they kicked, glided, and worked on their strokes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This session was not only fun but also a clear step forward in their swimming progress\u2014a strong start to the new season of learning and development!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
