Let's Hike To China - Chinese Calligraphy

For this month, we will be having Let's Hike To China theme as we would like the children to learn and explore other cultures using the Glenn Doman program. The whole theme span across 4 weeks where each week the children will learn something different. For week 1, we explore the Chinese calligraphy.




We start off the class by introducing them to words related to the calligraphy activities and showing them the real thing that relate to the word

After that, they start to explore. 
They even produce ink for the calligraphy using the traditional way (ink stone)

Learning outcome : refine fine motor skills, appreciation of art, creativity





Some of the masterpiece created by the children (with adult guidance)

Next come the "Where is my friend" activities. Like usual we will do words cards reading related to the activities.


The child is then given choices of folder to choose. Inside the folder is a stack of pictures. The children will need to match the pictures that complement each other

Learning outcome : hone critical thinking, mathematical development (complement item)




Soon it was lunch break. Even during break, children are still learning. This time round they are doing color sorting with the glutinous rice ball dessert. Children will need to sort the colour rice ball into allocated bowl according to their color.

Learning outcome : mathematical development (sorting), color recognition



Before we end the class session, we did the quantity recognition using Glenn Doman Math program.



Off the children go....with the wild play in the sand pit
