The moment we’ve all been waiting for is finally here! After months of hard work, our graduates are ready to shine.
We celebrated our 33rd Graduation Concert and it was a delightful success! The event was bursting with colour and joy. The children performed their dances with energy and confidence, truly bringing the theme, “Rhythm of the Rainforest”
Our teachers created a rich environment to nourish the children’s minds, just like a buffet of choices for them to explore. Here are some fun highlights from the theme:
Deer: Graceful movement.
Elephant: A majestic presence.
Snake: Cautious and aware of its surroundings.
Leopard: Fiercely independent and confident, always standing up for what’s right.
Squirrel: Quick movement and witty.
Monkey: Intelligent and a great problem-solver.
Butterfly: A symbol of beauty and grace.
Hornbill: A social creature & work well with others.
It was a day to remember, celebrating our amazing children and the vibrant community we’ve built together!
A huge thank you to all the parents for your amazing support in helping them grow. And to our graduates, we hope today is a fun celebration of all your achievements and a memory you’ll cherish for years to come. Enjoy your special day!
No doubt scrapbooking develop children’s creativity. Right from their preschool years, scrapbooks can hone their creative skills and thinking skills and let them be more imaginative.
Smelling bottles are standard material in the Sensorial area of a Montessori classroom. The smelling bottles are a part of the early childhood Montessori Sensorial lesson sequence, focusing on the olfactory sense.
Children and adults alike can have fun with the smelling jars, and they’re easily adaptable for different spices and leaves. The purpose is for the child to develop their sense of smell. The process is simple – the child sniffs their way through the bottles trying to match two identical scents.
Making the smelling bottles is pretty straightforward and can be done with items we already have around our school compound – betel leaves, pandan leaves, curry leaves, and kaffir leaves.
Why Practical Life Activities are so important in a Montessori classroom?
Practical life activity is a way of life for humans. It helps the child to adapt to his/her environment. Children are naturally attracted to these activities. The graceful coordinated movement calls to the soul of this little child.
Practical Life activities not only offer hand-eye coordination for the child but also help the child to build concentration, develop independency and strengthen his/her will.
In the Montessori classroom, Mathematics is introduced through concrete materials to abstract materials.
Children at the first plane of development are Sensorial explorers. These concrete materials help children to understand the concepts of quantity and group operations through their senses.
As they have experiences in these concepts, abstract materials will be introduced. These abstract materials help children to understand the essential combination of numbers which allows children to solve mathematics quickly without the use of materials.
