Julia Gabriel Mandarin EduPlay...

For the past few months, Lil' Angel has been attending Julia Gabriel Bilingual Play Club, Kids Loft & Little Neuro Tree (ie 3 classes per week). When term ended for JG & LNT, I decided not to continue with the two classes as we were getting bored. However, at the last lesson for the term at Kids Loft, Teacher Lavina informed us that there will be a three-week BREAK before the start of the new term! That will mean no classes for Lil' Angel for 3 weeks! Lil' Angel loves going to school, so after some thought, I decided to enrol her at JG once again! But this time, it's going to be an all-Mandarin PlayClub and we will be going to the Evans Branch instead of Forum. The Mandarin PlayClub is twice a week...hopefully Lil' Angel's Mandarin will improve by the end of the term!

Playing with the toys during Free Play Session...

Lil' Angel felt pretty comfortable in the Mandarin PlayClub as the setting was pretty similar to the Bilingual PlayClub at Forum. And best of all, we found out that her favourite Mandarin Teacher from the Bilingual PlayClub is taking her Mandarin class now!

That's her favourite teacher, Ni Lao Shi...

Start of lesson. The kids are encouraged to introduce themselves in Mandarin in front of the class. Lil' Angel is still reluctant to introduce herself in class...she will only do so at home! Hopefully she will be brave enough to do so before the end of the term!

Stamping with Green Pepper...

Art&Craft Time! The theme for the week is "Green" so they are given Green Paint and Vegetables to do Stamping...

Stamping with Broccoli...

Proud of her finished art work!

This is the way we wash our hands...to get rid of the green paint!

Outdoor Play!

Unlike before, she doesn't really go for the cars anymore! She is more interested in the kitchen sets and houses...guess she is into pretend play now...

Snack Time!

It was snack time after outdoor play. When I said "Snack Time", she hurriedly left the playground and ran back to class! She looked hungry! The kids were asked to say the different snacks in Mandarin...

Happily carrying her plate of snacks to the table...

Snacks make Lil' Angel HAPPY!

YUMMY!

Thoroughly enjoying herself!

End of class. I'm glad that she is enjoying the Mandarin EduPlay as much as she enjoyed the Bilingual PlayClub! She always tells me that she enjoys school and I do hope that her positive attitude towards school and learning will continue...forever!
