J1 and RECEPTION CLASS THEME : SHAPES AND COLOURS

Colours and shapes are all around us, even in our food. In this theme, the teachers focused on some common colours and shapes. The activities carried out have been successful, largely due to the support and cooperation given by parents of Junior 1 and Reception class ~ THANK YOU SO MUCH! Some of the learning activities were :

GREEN DAY

'GREEN' represents fruits, vegetables and healthy living. Every one wore green and brought something green to school.

The morning class.

Can you see the 'green' things in their hands?

More 'green' things. Can you see green apples, cucumbers, a dinosaur and ...... can you guess what green thing is Adi holding?Green again - but not all is green !
The afternoon class.
All things green.

COLOUR PARTY

A colourful party ~ the children came in in colourful clothings and bought colourful food. Here's one child in red striped t-shirt and red jambu.

Now, what is the colour of the egg ? These girls looking at the slice of egg in the noodles.

HAT PARTY

Not an ordinary kind of party ~ these hats were made by their parents as a family project to reinforce 'shapes'. Thank you to all parents for supporting this activity and for coming up with very creative hats. Look closely at the hats and you will see lots of 'shapes'.

SHAPE PARTY

Shapes are all around us, even in our food. This party is about 'shapes' in food. We have AMAZING, CREATIVE and WONDERFUL MUMS who came up with creative ways of presenting edible shapes ~ see the photos below and the food were as good as they looked.

There were trianglular water melon slices, round swiss rolls, rectangular biscuits, star fruits, round tomato slices, heart-shaped nuggets, donuts and so on .........

See the shapes of these sandwiches ~ have you seen a star-shape sandwich or a round sandwich?

Slices of star fruits.

The children enjoying the party.

Ms Ayu asked the children to say out the 'shape' they would like to eat.

Hmmmm ....... so many good looking 'shapes' to eat ! The rectangular donuts with colourful cream toppings were the favourites. This was a good party and the children enjoyed the various 'shapes'. Thank you to all parents who have supported this activity and made the party a success.


OTHER LEARNING ACTIVITIES

Making a mini book on shapes and sight words 'see', 'I', 'can' and 'a'.

Making a 'duck' out of the paper plate, circles and triangles. Paste some feathers from an old duster and became a beautiful mural of ducks ~ and no duck is the same!

Learning about colours as the children did these beautiful paintings.

These prints were made from colourful sand with biscuit cutters ~ the children learned colours and shapes. Here are examples of the print using green and yellow sand.
