Dear Parents,

One of the reasons why there are growing number of children with special

needs in Singapore is that society are much aware of it.

I remembered taking a module in Children with Special Needs when I was

studying for Diploma in Early Childhood Education. The module was quite

heavy but it enlightened us by explaining why there are some children who

behave “differently” from others. It gave us insight on how to identify the

special needs and a need for early intervention is important.

As every child is unique and special, we learn to accept their differences and

achievements. In term 3, the children learn the different races and their

uniqueness such as language, costume, etiquette and belief. Its interesting

to see the children learning to say

the word “Hello “ in ten different languages.

“ ”你好(Chinese)

“Bonjour”

(French)

“Vanakkam”(Tamil) “Mingala Ba”

(Burmese)

“Namaste”(Hindi)

“Konnichi Wa”(Japanese)

“ahn nyeong ha se yo”

(Korean)

“Sawa Dee-Ka”(Thai)

“Apa khabar?”(Malay)

“Assalammualaikum”(Arab)

Time passes very fast & term 3 has finally ended. In term 3, we learnt more about bears; the different

kind of bears, their habitat & their diet. We enjoyed role playing the story “We’re going on a bear hunt”. Through the book, we learnt preposition words such

as “under”, “over” & “through” This term was a little special as we get to know more about the

different culture in Singapore through the National Day celebration. We had our hands decorated with henna. We also enjoyed cookery lessons; cookies

for National Day, kuih for Hari Raya & fruit yoghurt for the healthy living week.

During the Hari Raya celebrations, N1 children get the chance to bake peanut butter cookies. This is their first time baking in school for this festive season. All of them participate actively and was very engrossed throughout the baking session. They definitely have a great fun baking the cookies.
