As part of our Reading Month activity, we did a reading activity at Miri Public Library for the public. The Library is an important building or room in a child's life. It is where he/she may learn to love books and reading. By incorporating fun library activities, we hope to increase the children's chances of associating reading and books with fun.
Miri Public Library holds children activity every Saturday, open to all children and admission is free. Children activity in the last Saturday of the month will be undertaken by a kindergarten or primary school on a voluntary basis.
We started off our show with 'STORY TIME' by reading this book :
'I'm a caterpillar' ~ Our theme centered on the butterfly and its life cycle.
Ms Norleha reading the book to the children assisted by Ms Ann.
The children learned the various stages in the life cycle of a butterfly.
We had songs to go with the theme. Here, we are singing 'Dari Ulat Jadi Kepompong' with finger play. The other song was 'Butterfly, Fly Butterfly'.
For the extension activities, the children made the various stages of the butterfly. The book was the reference. Here the children are making the pupa, trying to follow closely the colours of the pupa as in the book.
Shredded papers were stuffed inside the 'pupa case'.
The eggs were laid on the leaves. This boy not only placed the eggs on the leaves but drew the veins on the leaves, a detail he observed.

Parents came along to assist their children.
Making the butterflies ~ from plastic spoons and crepe papers. To decorate the 'wings', the children finger print the paper with colourful paints. For the caterpillars, the children glued together the ready-cut round coloured papers, the legs, feelers and drew the eyes.
The teachers gathered all the craftwork done and used them to brighten up the children section in the library. This is also a good way to display the children's work!
The beautiful wall display!
Thank you to the teachers who worked hard and spent extra hours to put up the display. May Allah SWT reward you all!
