Theme: Travel & Transport (2hr lesson)
Topic for Lesson 15: Train; 火车
A week ago, Hubby informed me he will be working on today and so I arranged the long overdue make-up class for Yvette. Usually when we have make-up class to attend, I will arrange in Evans to enjoy something “new” for Yvette.
We were early today. So I let Yvette to have some fun in the playground before the class starts. With such a big playground and she is the only kid there, she indeed have plenty of room to roam around.
After playing there for about 10 mins, I decided to go in the class and we were happy to meet Little Kai Kai and his parents. I have been reading their blog but recently, his mum started to work and lack of time updating the blog. I love her sewing project. It always never fails to capture my heart for her work done.
Anyway, I expected a big class but never expect to be such a BIG class. I think there were around more than 15 toddlers around. So with 15 toddlers and 15 adults plus another 4 teachers…. Hmmmm… I never attend such a big class before. (Even Playnest that I have attended with Yvette when she was younger, was not as big as what this class.)
The class started with Free Play as usual and then Saying Hello both in English and Mandarin. Then it will follow by Craft Time Demo for both in English and Mandarin too. Today, she did a Train wheel and a train using paper cup.
The Magic Box Time is in Mandarin and the Drama Town is in English. I find both sessions is so short (as compared to the time duration we have in the normal class) that the kid kindly have the time to appreciate what is being taught. Before Drama Time, they have Story-Telling in English for today lesson.
Before Snack Time, the kids got to crawl thru the tunnel as it was part of the Drama Activity. I think Yvette is the 5th Child to crawl thru the tunnel. Then I brought her to wash her hand.
Today, they have papaya, cheese and biscuit. Little Kai Kai was just sitting beside Yvette. I have a nice chat with his mum during their snack time.
After snack, they have fun in Outdoor Play. Yvette loves playing the sand and she never stops until I have asked her so.
I realised they have longer outdoor play time and shorter Song and Movement. But well, the attraction point in Evans is their outdoor playground. It isn’t surprising if the lesson is arranged in such manner.
I am very thankful the kindness given by Little Kai Kai’s parent. They gave us a ride home after class despite this is the first time we met in real life.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
P/S: In the car, Yvette kept utter “Kai Kai”. Now she is so into “Kai Kai” nowadays after meeting Baby Jacob. On coming back home after visiting my mum, we bumped into one neighbour with a toddler boy, Yvette kept uttering “Kai Kai”.
Hmmmm.. so now to her.. every little boy is “Kai Kai”?
Once In A LifeTime 
Hahah. Little Kai Kai, huh?
Anyway, our little Kai Kai is quite shy when there’s a big crowd, I think. Like at his Mandarin playgroup, if the maximum number of 8 children all appear, he’ll hang around my lap and is not so independent.
At his music class, where there’s often only 1 or 2 or 3 kids, and especially when there’s only himself (yeah, the only student), he’s very very expressive and responsive, which is quite a delight.
Jacob is ok when playing with Yvette. Not shy but gentle. I feel he is such a gentle baby… Probably he will grow up like Daniel.
Wow.. yr music class only got one student that is your son… you make me want to join you for the class…
V often only 1 student. haha. I’m afraid that at the end of the term, they might decide to stop that lesson slot. ;(
