Hello everyone! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The summer heat is in full swing, and the humidity continues to rise. As temperatures get warmer, we are taking extra care to keep the children cool, hydrated, and safe while enjoying their daily activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, we began exploring the fascinating world of sea animals<\/strong>, our monthly theme. Using flashcards, videos, and sea-animal toys, the kids observed, identified, and matched various sea creatures while building their vocabulary and communication skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kids learned through hands-on exploration and collaboration. While some found the matching activity a little challenging at first, they showed resilience and worked together, encouraging and helping one another. Through teamwork, curiosity, and inquiry, the children gradually built their confidence and celebrated their learning together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, the children enjoyed creating colorful sea animal artworks such as fish, starfish, turtles, crabs, and seahorses by tearing and sticking soft, colorful paper. They chose what kind of sea animal they wanted to make. This hands-on activity encouraged creativity while strengthening fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and finger muscles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We learn through exploration and practice. Tearing the paper was a little challenging for some, but they persevered and kept trying their best. With each attempt, they strengthened the small muscles in their hands and built confidence, reminding us that every challenge is an opportunity to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
