BRAIN TRAINING ACTIVITIES


Another month had passed and it’s been a September full of learning,

enjoyment and experiences. Our little geniuses had amazing time with

our brain training activities this month. The children adored the memory

game and eye training activities that honed their cognitive skills. Our

fast-speed flash cards are effective memory-aid tools that helped our

children learn new materials quickly.

LANGUAGE & LITERACY

Story: Mira and the Goose Theme: Clothes and Kindness

Every second we spent this month was indeed full of fun and learning. Our

theme for the month “Mira and the Goose” have taught and instilled in our

children good moral values such as honesty and kindness to others. They

also learned more things about clothes and geese. Oh, we’ve had unusual

and wonderful learning experiences with our song “Honest, Polite, Share

and Respect”.

Role Play (Mira and the Goose)


Once, there was a

girl named Mira.

She worked for a

rich lady. In the

morning, she had

to wash all the

clothes and in the

evening, she had

to wash the pots

and pans by the

river.

One morning, while Mira was washing the clothes. A dress fell into

the river. She began to cry and a goose heard her. And the goose

helped Mira.

The goose saw that Mira was a good and honest

girl. So she gave the gold and silver dresses to

Mira.


Yes!

Is this the

lady’s dress?

Our Little Mathematicians

We believe that when we hear the word

MATH, it means learning while enjoying.

This month, our concept is about

ADDITION. We had done addition in

many fun ways. Our little

mathematicians mastered “putting

objects together” so that they will get the

sum of the items. Our children explored

and learned with great enthusiasm.

WE PLAY, LEARN, AND GROW

We drop the ball, then it

says dribble, dribble!

We dribble down but the ball moves

vertical and sideward.

We don’t mind the fireball heat of the sun that shines brilliantly unto us, what matters is

that we’re enjoying while learning the things that surround us.

This month, our children were introduced to dribbling wherein they tried their best to

dribble the ball with two hands, with one hand, with one hand while alternating

between sitting and standing, while hopping, while skipping and while jumping. Good

job kids!

Dribbling!

WE PLAY, LEARN, AND GROW

A bright sunny day, wherein the sky

is a soft shade of blue and there

is slight breeze in the air will make

our day. These children bounced the

ball in a squareand their friends tried

to catch it up. Laughter were heard

after every game. They said that

playing is always fun, as shown in

their expressions in the game.

Bouncing

ball in a

square

I will bounce it, then you need to catch it!

From the story Mira and the Goose, our children were introduced to

gold and silver colours. So in connection, we performed a

waterproof experiment using gold and silver coins. We put the coins

inside the plastic, cloth pouch and paper bag and dip it into a tub of

water. The children predicted which of the three materials will keep

the coins the driest. After a minute, our experiment came out that

the plastic kept the coins dry while the coins inside the cloth pouch

and paper bag became so wet.

Sink or Float

In the story Mira and the Goose, the dress that Mira was washing floated away. With our

sink and float experiment, the children distinguished which things float and sink.

They also learned that:

➢ Things float when they are positively buoyant, or less dense than the fluid in which they are

sitting. This does not mean that an object has to be lighter than the fluid, as in the case of a

boat; objects just need to have a greater ratio of empty space to mass than the fluid.

➢ If an object weighs more than an equal volume of water, it is more dense and will sink, and if

it weighs less than an equal volume of water, it is less dense and will float.

Mid-Autumn Festival

We may have different culture, heritage, and tradition but that won’t stop us to

celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival as one family united by love. For Chinese, Mid-

Autumn means family reunion and peace. It is celebrated when the moon is

believed to be in its biggest and fullest. A full moon is a symbol of prosperity,

happiness, and family reunion.

The Mid-Autumn Celebration was full of fun specially when we walked around the

neighbourhood with our lanterns. We also had the chance to taste different kinds

of mooncakes from our friends.

Story telling by Shasha Lao Shi!Our lanterns!

Walk around the neighbourhood!

Mid-Autumn Festival

As we celebrated Mid Autumn Festival, we are hooked in

making mooncakes and lanterns together with our

parents. It was such an unforgettable experience having

them in an special occasion.

What’s The Parent’s Role With Homework?


Kids are more successful in school when parents take an active interest in their

homework — it shows kids that what they do is important.

Here are some tips to guide the way:

Know the teachers — and what they're looking for. Attend school events, such as

parent-teacher conferences, to meet your child's teachers. Ask about their

homework policies and how you should be involved.

Set up a homework-friendly area. Make sure kids have a well-lit place to complete

homework. Keep supplies — paper, pencils, glue, scissors — within reach.

Schedule a regular study time. Some kids work best in the afternoon, following a

snack and play period; others may prefer to wait until after dinner.

Help them make a plan. On heavy homework nights or when there's an especially

hefty assignment to tackle, encourage your child break up the work into

manageable chunks. Create a work schedule for the night if necessary — and

take time for a 15-minute break every hour, if possible.

Keep distractions to a minimum. This means no TV, loud music, or phone calls.

(Occasionally, though, a phone call to a classmate about an assignment can be

helpful.)

Make sure kids do their own work. They won't learn if they don't think for themselves

and make their own mistakes. Parents can make suggestions and help with

directions. But it's a kid's job to do the learning.

Be a motivator and monitor. Ask about assignments, quizzes, and tests. Give

encouragement, check completed homework, and make yourself available for

questions and concerns.

Set a good example. Do your kids ever see you diligently balancing your budget or

reading a book? Kids are more likely to follow their parents' examples than their

advice.

Praise their work and efforts. Post an aced test or art project on the refrigerator.

Mention academic achievements to relatives.

If there are continuing problems with homework, get help. Talk about it with your

child's teacher. Some kids have trouble seeing the board and may need glasses;

others might need an evaluation for a learning problem or attention disorder.
