A Day for the Family

Toddler's daycare held a Family Day cum Open House today that lasted from 11am - 3pm.
.
Our family definitely took the time to support because we knew that the teachers had put in a lot of efforts to bring us this Family Day.

Most of the parents have already arrived when we arrive at the daycare. Not long after, everyone was gathered and we proceeded to assemble at the grass area for the first family interactive game called "We're Going On A Bear Hunt".
.
"We're Going On A Bear Hunt" is a fun, interactive story of a family on a journey. Parents, together with their children had to participate in this interactive game since it is a Family Journey. The family started to travel through the deep grass of a meadow,

wade through oozy mud,

.
cross a river,
.
(everyone has to swim cross a river to reach another side)
.
After crossing the river, all of us shook our bodies around to rid-off the water before we next journey through a dark forest,
.
(wow, a dark forest we're in)
.
Then we had to brave through a sudden weather change to experience a snowstorm,
.
(It's freezing!!!)
.
Finally, after braving through the cold snowy weather, we arrive at the pathway leading to the cave.
.
(Here's the cave we've been looking for!)
.
The children found the bear in the dark cave.
.

(Arrgghhhh........scary looking bear is coming after the children!!!)
.
With the teacher's direction, and as the story is read aloud, everyone participated in the story by performing various actions and sounds to mimic the events in the journey. As the pictures sell for itself; We truly enjoyed ourselves indeed!
.
After the game, everyone headed for a lunch-break and some children were settled at the dough play station for a fun-filled play.

Our toddler proudly displayed his painting skills to our amazement at the Painting Station. We had a chance to see how he paints. It's unusual for dabbing skills and I really liked the result of his dabbing paint-works.

.

After lunch, the teachers' carried on with a few more family tele-matches outdoors hence no pictures can be taken since the House of ANG were busily engaged in the tele-matches. Hee hee....
.
One of the activites lined up was dressing up. The parents were supposed to be creative here. With some materials & fabrics provided to them, they are supposed to dress their child up in the most creative manner as possible. Just look at those parents at work!

Then, it's time for the results of the winner. So the judges have decided that...........the winner is none other than Ms Hana, representing Japan!
.

.

Finally, it's past 2.15pm and Master ANG decided we should be heading home soon for Kiet's afternoon nap. But before we leave, we've decided to present a small gift of appreciation to our favorite head teacher Ms Christine......by writing on her pretty cheeks!

PS: Ms Christine will be leaving the daycare and her last day will be on 15 Oct 07. We're going to miss her as she is a proven dedicated teacher full of ideas and creativity. It's really a loss for the centre.
