A few glimpses of our first week back.

07.01.2022 All the three rooms have begun practicing Christmas carols. We take up music everyday with our children as music ignites all areas of child development and skills for school readiness, including intellectual, social-emotional, motor, language, and overall literacy. It helps the body and the mind work together. So, exposing children to music during early development helps them learn the sounds and meanings of words. Linking with EYLF: 2.1 Children develop a sense of belonging... to groups and communities and an understanding of the reciprocal rights and responsibilities necessary for active community participation. 3.1 Children become strong in their social and emotional wellbeing. 5.1 Children interact verbally and non-verbally with others for a range of purposes. 5.3 Children express ideas and make meaning using a range of media.

05.01.2022 This week, our pre-schoolers participated in a range of literacy rich experiences where they developed fundamental literacy concepts such as print concept, text directionality, phonics, and ability to differentiate between letters, words, and sentences. Children also used digital technology to construct their knowledge of sustainable practices to contribute towards saving and protecting their natural resources and environment....

Most importantly, children learn to listen to and manage their own feelings of being full or hungry.

We followed up with a craft activity and created our own poppies.... We remember our fallen heroes and honour the sacrifice of those who served their country. Lest we forget

01.01.2022 We are ready for Halloween!!!!! We at Daystars strive to create an inclusive environment for all children that allow all children feeling a sense of belonging by celebrating their own cultures, exploring others cultures, and embracing diversities. During this Halloween week, we provided children with a range of play based learning experiences such as bats and pumpkin craft, music and movement, making Halloween cookies, reading ‘Room on the broom’ as well ...as sensory hand painting. The experiences allowed children achieve educational outcomes such as creative thinking, problem solving, use of expressive descriptive language, fundamental literacy concepts and imagination. Children through celebrating Halloween week, also developed an awareness of the diverse society they live in and learnt to show respect for different ways of being, living and enjoying. We wrapped up Halloween celebration with a fun filled musical story telling session followed by a afternoon Tea picnic !

01.01.2022 "To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow". We at Daystars are trying hard to plant and maintain our little garden. Our very talented Inventors love taking care of the garden and also enjoy learning about new plants and herbs. This week Ms Linh spoke to them about "mint". We spoke about how useful mint is. We all took turns to smell it and came to know that it has a fresh, cool and distinct smell.
