Science/ Nature: Parts of a treeWe use this book, "seeds, seeds, seeds" by sunshine publication.
KB made a paper weight using different coloured beans and laying them. We also use beans to design a flower.
Hunting for assorted leaves and sorting them out. We read "Leaf Man" by Lois Ehlert and KB decides what animals and which leaves he wants to use to create his animals. He described his turtle and 2 fish in the lake in one picture, and an elephant diving in a river in the next! I totally love his creations.
Nature: Seed walk Discovery
We use a jumbo colour pencils for better feel, to color over paper on tree trunk. The rough texture of a tree trunk provided nice woody texture.
KB went walking with his socks on and collected assorted seeds with his socks! Then we would talk about how seeds were dispersed and how they look under the magnifying glass.
Social: The world of stamps through Singapore Philatelic Museum
We read the Seven Little Postmen
We also bought him some stamps and he started his little hobby of collecting stamps.
Pretend play: I am a Postman, I am a stamp!
KB planned and designed his mailbox, the upper one for mails to Singapore, the lower one for mails to Jakarta.
Language Arts: Reading
We started on Book 1 of Bob books with really simple "-at" family words.
Outdoor/Free play: Swing, using chopsticks to pick up clay balls!
KB is quite apt at using chopsticks since he was 3, so we were trying to see if he was up to this challenge and ... he was!
