Mother's Day Hearts

One of the project the children did for Mother's Day was making 'heart cakes'.   We pre-ordered heart-shape cakes,  let the children iced the cakes and decorated the cakes with colourful heart-shaped sprinkles.  The children had fun decorating their heart cakes and proudly gave to their mums, YES! proudly gave to their mums  ....... but according to reports from the mums ~ EATING the cakes is a different matter.  Not all MUMs got to eat their cakes.  Some mothers got the cakes after the icing was eaten off and some were fortunate to eat whatever remains of the cakes.

Mealtime Behaviours

Mealtime Behaviors
 

Learn politeness from the impolite.
-Egyptian proverb

"How people eat is often as important as what they eat," observe Sharon Bergen and Rachel Robertson in their guidebook, Healthy Children, Healthy Lives: The Wellness Guide for Early Childhood Programs. They continue...
"In the past meals took time to prepare and families gathered around a table to eat them together. As they ate their food, they spent time talking. Often this was a bonding experience. It also helped people stay healthy. By eating food they had prepared themselves, they knew what ingredients went into it. Eating together encouraged eating slowly, which aided digestion and helped them know if they were full or still hungry. Today the average family's schedules and the convenience of restaurant meals have decreased the time people spend preparing and eating food. Further, restaurant foods are often high in additives, sugars, and fats. These ingredients can affect immediate and long-term health and often lead to overeating and weight gain.

"Teachers can help children read their own bodies' cues so they know how full or hungry they are. To that end, children should be offered food at regular time intervals throughout the day. Additionally, children should not be required to eat when they aren't hungry. They should not develop a habit of snacking throughout the day, either. Food should be used to give their bodies energy. It should not be treated as a reward or a punishment. Children need food for energy and most of them eagerly choose to eat at allotted times."

J2 Visit To The Fire Station 2013

The class of Junior 2 with teachers, parents and firemen.

A visit to the Fire Station is a must under the topic 'FIRE' .  The visit is always exciting and an amazing adventure for the children. This year is no different ~  the fire men,  fire engine trucks, the ladder truck, the mascot and the yellow exhibition truck were already waiting for us.

This is a bus, turned into an exhibition centre.

Here,  the children spent some time looking at the various things displayed in the bus.

Looking at the firemen stuff in the room - fire hose, fireman's jacket, boots, helmets, etc.

The most exciting part of the visit was the ride in the fire engine truck with the fire men.
