News / Nunn Road / 2023 / March 2023

 Dear parents,

Our three graduated children have now settled into their new school. A girl contacted us and told us she missed all of us. We wish all the best for their future undertaking. Some of the graduated children like to visit us during their school holidays. We are glad that children have wonderful memories of Nania and are happy to come back whenever they can.

Two boys and two girls are now taking up the roles of big koko and big jie-jie in the English class. They helped to pack the lunch box during our Bento Day. They were proud of themselves for having accomplished this special task. They are also eager to learn during the afternoon big children’s class.

We also welcome two new children into the class. Eugene is a 4 year old boy, and Qian Ru is a 3 year old girl. Bethany’s brother, Gideon, will join us soon. He is turning 3.

The children started to practice for the Sports Day. We join the Japanese class to practice together. Children are happy to mix around with the Japanese class children. They also play well together during outside playtime.

We have finally started Nania’s Facebook! Please find us at ‘Pusat Jagaan Nania’ and share our post to promote the ideas of Nania. We care about these tender years, that have important effects for the rest of children’s lives, as our slogan says, ‘Childhood Development for Life’.

 Celebration of New Life (13^th April 2023)

At Nania, we celebrate Easter as a form of new life being born. In the case of flowers, new life starts from the bud, which sprouts and grows. With chickens, for example, new life begins when chicks hatch from eggs and grow into adult poultry.

During our New Life celebration, the children will colour eggs in the morning and then watch a puppet show performed by the teachers. The main story line is the transformation of a caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly to reflect our celebration of new life.

In the story, a young girl befriends a caterpillar. But alas, one day, she is unable to find the caterpillar. On seeing her plight, a friendly rabbit takes her to a beautiful garden, where she sees a beautiful butterfly flying about. The rabbit tells her that her caterpillar friend has now transformed into that colourful butterfly.  At the end of the puppet show, the children will recite an Easter poem that is on the song sheet enclosed with this newsletter.

After that, the children will begin to hunt for the big and small eggs (peanuts) in the garden. The kitchen staff hides the eggs during the puppet show. The eggs that they find will be given to the kitchen staff to be served for lunch.

At the end of the day, they will bring home the eggs that they coloured that morning.
