On a shining day, the playground was filled with waves of laughter and joy. Children were wandering in the playground.
At a corner where children were not wandering. They were looking at the snail quietly. They started to observe the movements and appearance of the snail. While observing, one child gave the snail way as she saw the snail was getting near her foot.
“Why does this snail look different from other snails?”
“Why is it small and light?”
“The shell look-alike triangle.”
They started to discuss the snail…until it was time to return to their classroom.
It’s such an honour to observe what children are observing.

Children practiced washing legs with their peers to show appreciation to their parents.
They guide each other on the steps of washing legs and foot care.
Keep it up, children! The day is counting down, and let’s wait for the day!

To let one know about a culture is to let one experience it.
The children had Hari Raya Open House in school. They dressed up in Malay traditional costumes, brought some traditional foods to share with their peers, and learned dance movements! They enjoyed it so much.
Wishing all Muslims who celebrate this festival Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!
