September – My Photo Fridge Magnet

“No need to buy fridge magnets in memory of places visited and favourite things... Make your own, and what better magnets than that to frame yourself and your loved ones”

The main objective is to give ideas of activities and come up with creations that can be made using every day common art items. In just 90 minutes, our students have explored tracing, measuring, cutting, colouring and pasting employing a range of material which included the use of drawing block, mounting board, masking tape, hot glue and magnet.

Learning Outcome: use of materials, creativity and encourage do-it-yourself

September - Skin and Bones

Science meets Art! 

Science meets Art! Today our 5-8 year olds learnt about the bones in our body! Class started with a brief introduction of the human body, simple names and function of the bones. Next, using mounting board, q-tips and glue, our students created their own skeletal diagram – complete with labelling

Learning outcome: Introduction to human bones and how to see them as an art form, creativity and motor skills.

September – Paper Bag Puppet ‘THE RABBIT & THE TURTLE!’

Adapted by the folk tales from around the world; The Rabbit and The Turtle, today’s session is a moral stories from the arrogant rabbit versus persistence turtle. When the arrogant rabbit dares the slow moving turtle for a race, turtle agrees. Because rabbit is far ahead and confident of winning, rabbit takes a nap midway through the race. Turtle however keeps the steady pace and has arrived before him. This story emphasises that it is not OK to bully others, don’t be overly-confident and if you keep on going, you will succeed.

Students were introduced to Paper Bag Puppet; where they created an impression of their own Rabbits & Turtles. This would help encourage our students to engage in puppetry and storytelling – which would improve on their communication and social skills (speaking and listening skills) and creative skills thru imaginative and pretend play.

Learning Outcome: Knowledge, Creativity, Sensory, Imagination and Fine motor skills –draw, colour, cut & paste.
