Dear parents,
Before the holidays, the children really enjoyed our Bento Day. They participated fully for all activities on that day. In the morning, the big children helped to pack the Bento Boxes. Before lunch, all the children brought the ”wallet” and “money” they had made to buy food at the Kitchen Staff’s Bento Shop. We then had our lunch in the classroom. Many children asked for “okawari” (it means another serving in Japanese). Attached with this news letter are the photos of Bento Day.
I observed there were two birds had been chirping outside the English Class. Soon, we noticed that they had built a nest and “Mummy bird” laid two eggs. “Mummy bird” then hatched the eggs patiently. Children were amazed to see this happen.
After we come back from the holidays, the two little birds were hatched. Now the children observe that “Mummy bird” is busy feeding her babies and “Daddy bird” is always somewhere nearby to guard them.
We are so lucky to have this precious experience, especially the children. This real-life experience will help the children to be reverence nature. They learnt about the care and love of the “Mummy and Daddy birds”. They watch with amazement how the little birdlings grow day by day.
Soon, we will celebrate New Life. 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 which is in the song sheet enclosed with this newsletter.
After that, the children will 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. Please be punctual on the day (20th April) as I hope your child will not miss any of the activities.
