GUG lesson 6

Today we had our lesson 6. Mummy was given a form to remind all parents of the payment due date for term 6. Fees payable: $404.46 for a total of 9 lessons from 13 Oct - 14 Dec.

We learnt the no. 8 today (cos only 8 kiddos in the class) & the letter L - Lizzy Lizard. Together with words beginning with L - lips, lotion, lollipop. I gt a lollipop drawn on each of my hands. Today's story was: The Big Farm Animals - abt hw a cow, chicken, duck, pig & sheep all play together. Today no music lesson - i tink Teacher Fairuz not ard. But we still hv our bubbles session. For craft work, we each rolled a ball on a mixture of paint & put the ball inside a plastic tupperware. Close the cover & we shake & tip the tupper ware. Inside each tupperware is a piece of white paper at the bottom. The gist of the craft is to do ball painting. After all the shaking & rolling & tipping, we all gt the piece of paper out & hey presto, our ball painting. After washing our hands, we all took our break. I went to put my fingers inside my mouth after dabbling on the paint; i thot they were jam after the last lesson we learnt. Mummy & Teacher Devi hurridly took wet tissues & dry tissues to wipe away the paint, in & out & ard my mouth. Silly me!

And of cos, we sang our Zoophonics song, Heads, Shoulders, Knees & Toes, If You Are Happy, etc...

As usual, we took a taxi home. Upon reaching home, we both fell asleep till Daddy & Lionel came home, waking us up.

GUG lesson 5

Today is Lantern Festival & also my 5th lesson @ GUG. First of all, wanna say:

八月十五月正圆

中秋假节庆团圆

Wishing everyone a Happy Lantern Festival

At GUG, we learn the no. 12 (cos today we have 12 kiddos in our class) & the letters K - kangeroo, kite, crown, (y the letter c? cos c & k hv the same phonetic sound) & king. Teacher Devi gt a mustache on her mouth..keke.

I was gettin abit restless during the story telling session, so Mummy also didnt pay attention & didnt gt the title of the story. For music, we sang twinkle twinkle little stars, old macdonald has a zoo (farm) & we're going to the zoo. We also sang thru the whole set of phonetic zoo - ally alligator a a a, beary bear, b b b, etc....

Not forgetting my bubbles & craft. We use star fruit & dapped into a mixture of paint & transfer onto a piece of black paper (as the sky), so we all hv little stars shining against the black sky. I also gt a star kite on my hand too.

And Mummy say i sorta misbehave cos i went all over the place, gripping onto people's hands, legs & clothes. But no one seems to mind...haha.

The admin staff nvr pass any forms to Mummy; suppose to ask the parents whtr we gonna continue for the next term. My term will end on the 12 Oct. Maybe next week, Mummy will check with the staff or ask Teacher Devi/Aze.

Walk

Rachel has been learning to walk ... Trying to catch her on video... She's nt co-operative... grrr...hang on. will post a video & pics of her asap

Heartfelt Condolences

Just gt news from my mil dat 黄伯伯's eldest son just passed away last sun. 黄伯伯 used to helped out at my ils' shop as a part timer till he suddenly fainted one fine day & was diagnosed as suffering from stroke. From then, he stopped working & was bed ridden since.

Today, his family sent their beloved son, dad, grand-dad, on his final walk. He was a kidney failure patient but he nvr stopped himself from eating & drinking wat he shd not. Alas, his kidney gave way...

To 黄伯伯 & family, our special heartfelt condolences to u.
