August - Jalur Gemilang

It’s Merdeka this month, and what better way to spread Malaysian patriotism in children, than to introduce and immerse them in the elements of our Malaysian flag, the ‘Jalur Gemilang.' What the different colours mean and what the crescent moon and stars represent.

Today’s activity also emphasizes the art materials; introducing children to the idea of art is beyond pencil and paper alone. An opportunity for children where students can express their creativity freely, through any form and material – like today; we used bamboo sticks and Ikea photo frames.

Learning outcome: Understanding and appreciation of the Malaysian flag and patriotism, exercise and control of the eyes and hands with emphasis on concentration and patience.
