New Hygiene Management System--SureClean
Starting from the new year, we have adopted new hygiene
products and system from SureClean products. We are
using the Surface Disinfectant , Dish Cleaner and Hand
Cleaner with new technology of Stabilized Silver
Ion Complex. The products are child-safe, non-toxic,
and can kill 99.9% of viruses, bacteria so as to
protect our children from germs and bacteria for 24
hours.
During the peak period of HFMD from Mar to Aug, the
product can help us protect our children and prevent
disease spreading around. We have done a very thorough
disinfectant misting cleaning with the products in
March 09. Below are some of the picture of the cleaning
process.
Parent-Teacher-Meeting
As scheduled, we had PTM on 28 March. During the meeting,
we had updated the children's progress during the first
term, and gotten the feedback from our parents on children's
behavior from home. A service survey form has been passed
to our parents on gather ideas to improve our service.
Currently, we have received some of the survey
form
and there are many good suggestion for us to value and
implement.
We will
update
our
parents
again once we gathered back most of the survey form and
consolidate it.
Announcement
for New Term
1 Swimming Class
We will be starting our swimming class
in the month of May 09. There are 5 students enrolled
in our swimming class. Looking forward to seeing them
making progress in swimming.
2. µÜ×Ó¹æ "Di Zi Gui" teaching in Chinese
We have learned about it during the parent teacher meeting.
And thanks to the good sharing by Zheng Jue's Parents.
We will be using flash card to teach our children to recite
and memorize. For younger students, we do not request them
totally understand the verse. We let them memorize and
be able to chant it loud. This is a very good
way to train their memory as well as plant social moral
seeds
within our young children. If our parents want to find
more information
on µÜ ×Ó ¹æ, you
can
refer to
this
website:http://www.dizigui.net/.
After viewing it, please also give us feedback on how you
find it.
3. Library Trip in Term 2
We will be planning for library trip for children
to browse and borrow books in the nearby public library
once a month. Parents, please make
a library card
for your child in advance soon. We will inform our parents
in a separate notice on which day to go.
4. Gardening Project in Term 2
The theme in term 2 is "Explore the Nature".
So during this term, we will do a lot of experiments on
nature related subjects, like flower, fruits, seeds...
We will be doing a lot of walking in the neighborhood
to find out different kinds of flowers, fruits. We have
found banana tree, guava tree, ramadan tree, papaya tree
along the lane. And more to surprise, we got
some of the fruits from the tree nice and fresh. Children
are
very excited to be able to see the fruits on the tree and
be
able to
plug
them with their own hands as those fruits
children used to see are mostly in the supermarket.
How exciting to see our
children
be able to explore with so much interest and curiosity,
which is the most important element in children's learning
process.
Our children will also be building up our own
garden in our school in May. We have gathered many
different kinds of seeds, like sun flowers, water melon,
tomato. Every children will plant a flower and observe
them grow. Once the plant grow, they will be responsible
to water, take care of them and record down their
growing process. Parents, please allow your children bring
in different kinds of seeds and safe gardening tools which
are available in
your garden or home for us to grow a variety of plant.
Parents can also plant a flower together
with your children and to explain to them the life circle
of the plant. Those hand on experience is the best way
for children to learn and explore.
5. Calling for your kind donation:
Dear parents, we hope to enhance our learning centre in
school. One of them is the pretend
play centre. If you
have any costume, special clothes, like uniform, traditional
clothes for different races, special toys set like doctor
set, carpenter set, dress up set, which you are not use,
and in good condition, please consider donating to our
school for our children to share. Thank you so much.
Another one is computer center:
We are planning to have the computer center during the
3rd term of the year. If you have upgrade your computer
and have any computer you do not use, kindly consider
donating to our school. So more of our resource can be
used to get in good educational computer software for
our children. Thank you a million.
6 Happy Mother's Day!
We will also celebrate Mother's Day in May with interesting
hand on activities.

mummy a Happy Mother's Day in advance!
