Scribbly Doodly Doo!

Children are natural-born artists, uninhibited by self-doubt or concern for the outcome. Random scribbling, a simple yet profound activity, holds immense value in fostering creativity and cognitive development in young children. Nursery learners were provided with crayons and paper & were encouraged to scribble or doodle on it. Through the joyous exploration of lines and colors, preschoolers embark on a journey of self-expression and discovery. Random scribbling provides preschoolers with a blank canvas for their imagination to run wild. With no rules or guidelines to constrain them, learners are free to express themselves in any way they choose. The act of holding a crayon or marker and making deliberate marks on paper contributes to the development of fine motor skills in preschoolers. 

My hand print on the First Day 

The first day of school is a momentous occasion filled with excitement, nervous energy and anticipation. To mark this special day and create lasting memories, we embarked on a colourful and creative journey through palm printing. With each press of their palms onto paper, the learners created stunning outlines that mirrored the beauty of their individuality. Their eyes sparkled with delight as they beheld the intricate patterns and shapes taking form beneath their fingertips. Each palm print became a masterpiece on its own, a reflection of the boundless creativity and joy that filled the room. Each palm print was unique to the learners who created it, reflecting their individual identity and personality. Through this meaningful activity, learners express themselves visually, leaving their mark on the classroom. 

Tangrams at play!!! 

Tangrams provide an excellent platform for hands-on learning and artistic expression. Learners were provided with tangrams to explore and play. As learners engage with tangram puzzles, they not only enhance their spatial reasoning and problem-solving skills but also exercise their imagination by constructing familiar objects and scenes. Playing with tangrams offers learners a captivating and enriching experience, allowing them to unleash their creativity and explore the fascinating world of shapes and patterns. 

Music

Listen and act

Music is the universal language that makes learning interesting for our learners. Music sessions involve singing melodies with actions that are fun and help learners to relate to the songs they learn. In their music session, learners were introduced to a fun action song where they performed actions like running, clapping, stomping, and jumping. To further exercise their sensorial abilities, a flower-sensing activity was done, where learners took turns to observe, touch, and feel the flower, thereby calming themselves after the fun activity.
