Re: Withdrawal

This letter serves to confirm that that Dylan Zhuang will withdraw from KidzPro LLP with effective from 1st March 2010.

I would like to express my appreciation for the excellent care KidzPro LLP had given to my child.

As location and school fees are some of the top concern of our choice of childcare centre, we have decided to switch to the new PAP childcare centre opened opposite our house.

Last but not least, we wished all KidzPro LLP all the best.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,
Catherine Ang
Mother of Dylan Zhuang, N1

NurseryOne 25-29 Jan

The children were taught the shape circle and the geometric solid cylinder. They were given the circle and cylinder to explore and were instructed to match the circle to the base of the cylinder.

Sandpaper letter ‘m’ is given to the children to feel and trace. Letter sound ‘m’ as in macaroni, mother, mango, The children had macaroni soup for lunch on Thursday and as a reinforcement activity they glued the macaroni pieces on the letter ‘m’.


We learned the five organs in Chinese.


We have started making Chinese New Year Crafts! This week we colored a fish and pasted some shapes cut out from “Ang Pow” paper. “Yu” in Chinese means “fish”, which sounds the same as “abundance”. Hence, the wishing term “Nian Nian You Yu” means “May you be blessed with abundance year after year!”

On Wednesday, we learned about how we should take care of our teeth. We also learned to sing a new song! (Sing to the tune of “If You’re Happy”)

We learn how to brush our teeth and the causes of tooth decay.

This week we learnt that koalas live in Australia. Most of the children were able to identify this cute and cuddly animal. Besides coloring the picture of a koala, the children are also in the process of making a “Koala mask”.


In the process, children learnt that most koalas are grey, and they can get the color grey when they mix black and white together.

NurseryOne 18-22 Jan

Mathematics:
The children were taught number rods one, two and three. They counted the red and blue rods. After that, the children arranged the rods from rod one to rod three. It may look like a simple task to us but it was very challenging to the children.

Language:
Sandpaper letter ‘i’ was given to the children to feel and trace. Letter sound ‘i’ as in ink, iguana, igloo, insect, india, india and inchworm. Wee Ren, Dexton, Mohin, Markus, Natalie, Amanda, Amelia, Liya, Caden, Caleb, Ryan, Tyrone and Joen were able to make the sound of ‘i’ and name the related items shown to them.

Sensorial:
Amelia, Caden, Natalie, Dylan, Joen, Wee Ren, Edric,, Caleb, Khaizuran, Liya, Mohin, Dexton and Markus revised on different knobbed cylinders.

Ryan and Amanda were shown how to arrange 4 red rods in sequence. While Mytri, Jason and Tyrone were shown how to arrange the brown stair from broad to narrow.

Practical Life:
In practical life exercises, different spooning exercises were presented to Mytri, Dylan, Joen, Jason, Edric, Khaizuran, Liya and Dexton.

Caleb was presented the dry pouring from jug to jug exercise. Ryan, Amanda and Tyrone were presented with transferring objects using tongs, while Caden and Markus were presented the exercise of transferring using tweezers.


For Amelia, Mohin and Wee Ren, they practised walking on line with object in the tray. Last but not least, Natalie worked with pegging using large plastic pegs.


The children were introduced to a well loved animal in Australia – the kangaroo! They colored a picture of a kangaroo, and even made a kangaroo with a pouch and a little joey! After that, all the kids get to hold a soft toy kangaroo. “We love to cuddle the kangaroo!”

Thematic:
My Body: My Sense of Hearing
The children learnt that they can hear with their ears. They were given different percussion instruments to make different sounds. The children enjoyed listening to the loud and soft sounds from the tambourines, maracas, castanets, and handbells.

For this week, Dylan only went to school for 2 days, he is coughing quite badly, and I had took him to see the paediatrician on wednesday when he was diagnosed with bronchitis, I believe he is getting better, hope he recovers soon.

The children were taught number rods one and two. They counted the red and blue rods. Most of the children were able to repeat after the teacher when counting the rods.

This week the children learn about the Australian Flag. The children painted a blue background, and pasted the pre-cut shapes at the top-left corner. Next, they crush small pieces of tissue and pasted on the flag to represent the six stars.


The children learn that they can smell from their nose. They were given different things to smell, and the children could tell the difference by the expressions on their face.

Dinner @ manpuku

Location: Manpuku @ tampines one

They had changed their payment system already, customers no longer need to carry the manpuku card to purchase food and then pay at the cashier with the card at the end of your meal. You just have to go the counter, order your food, and pay immediately, using cash or nets. For customers who wants to purchase using credit cards, you have to buy a prepaid card with the credit card, swipe with your manpuku prepaid card to purchase food, then refund your prepaid card at the end of your meal (so mafan). Manpuku has become a high class food court, with this payment system.


Dylan & daddy


Dylan likes sushi, he finish this entire tray himself. I said, "Dylan mum-mum take picture". And this is his interpretation.


Boy said the curry rice is nice, but the serving is too small to fill him up, he got 2 sets, one chicken cutlet curry rice and one prawn curry rice to share.


His favourite tempura


After the previous time I tried the chicken egg udon, I can't wait to go back for more.
