Hb and I decided it's time to send Carmel to playgroup to learn new things and develop his social being. Our church recently started a playgroup called Little Wonder and we thought why not send him there! It's perfect timing to start a new term in Jan'09!
Carmel had his 1st lesson on 3 Jan at 930am on a Sat morning. I woke up abit late at 8am to prepare him to get ready to lesson. We took a cab from woodlands to jalan bukit merah as i wasnt sure the location. We missed the turn and the taxi had to re-route for us to get to the EDB learning centre (PSA academy). But luckily we managed to reach 10mins before cls.
It was a temp location located the CHEC (city harvest education centre) for 3 mths before they moved to the perm place in Katong! Till then, i think it will be very far for us since we stayed in the north. Nonethless, we will then decide whether to continue with Little Wonder or find another place.
When we got there, it was a little classroom size room but decorated with children's craft and learning cards. Immediately I saw a farm corner and intro to Carmel. The theme for today's lesson is on zoo. Carmel was familiar with farm animals and immersed in playing with them.
'Lesson' began with a song introducing all the classmates and followed by more songs and movement focusing on the theme. We also did a Art craft together for the 1st time! It was a simple task using glue to stick wool to a picture of a sheep.
There's also a short tea time where they were served with biscuits and apple juice which was Carmel's favourite.
I'm glad that Carmel is bold and willing to learn new things. I look forward to every Sat's lesson to explore new things together with him!
