There are endless possibilities when it comes to teaching our young ones. πŸ‘¦πŸ»πŸ‘§πŸ» Winner of the Outstanding Early Childhood Teacher πŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ« Award πŸ†, Amanda Yap from The Little Skool House International, believes in engaging her preschoolers through intentional play 🧩, where learning πŸ“š takes place all the time.

For her, β€˜The Three Little Pigs 🐷 β€˜ is not a mere fable but a fun way to teach the children hypothesis testing, problem solving skills, and even material properties!

The greatest joys 😊 of teaching for Amanda are the improvements she sees her children make, and one of her proudest moments was when β€˜a very introverted child’ took the first step πŸ‘£ of initiating a conversation πŸ’¬ with her peers, even if it was just a simple β€˜hello’ πŸ™‹πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ‘‹

Every fortnight, the halls of Thye Hua Kwan Nursing Home 🏑 bustle with the chatter of residents and students πŸ‘΄πŸΌπŸ§’πŸ» from Xinmin Secondary School as they engage in various activities together such as origami and playing carrom, as part of the school’s Values In Action project aimed at nurturing a deeper sense of empathy for the elderly. πŸ‘¦πŸ»πŸ’•πŸ‘΄πŸΌ

Besides THK Nursing Home, the students also get to visit seniors at the NTUC Health’s Day Centre for Seniors (Silver Circle), and cultivate meaningful friendships with them. 🀝

This is a great example of how we can collaborate as a community to bring together different generations, and we hope it has inspired πŸ’‘ you! Stay tuned πŸ“Ί as we bring you more exciting updates next week. πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
