A Success!

Turned out Joey enjoyed herself at the trial playgroup last Friday when I left her there all by herself. It helped that she knew Ruby, and it also helped that there were only 2 kids in the class including her. Hahaha.. there's not many kids of her age among the staff's kids, so when there are few kids around, she is not afraid. She'll only back down when there are lots of others kids around.

Feedback from the teacher was that she did not once attempt to go to the door or try to look for me. Most of the time, she was either listening to the teacher & following instructions, or she was trying to shift the furnitures around. Haha...

Check out the photos sent to me by the teacher!

The 1st thing that the teacher told them to do was to scoop the cotton balls one by one using a spoon into another bowl. It was to test whether the kids are detailed by nature, ie whether they are 'C' enough.

As expected, my daughter thinks it's too troublesome to scoop the balls one by one, and decided to pour everything into the other bowl instead.

Then they listened to stories by the teacher...

Then they had object lesson where they learnt phonics. The alphabet of the day was 'A'!


Then they played with some 'talking game' using pipes...

Next was Art & Craft time! They made their own phones using paper cups & strings.

They also did finger painting.. Heee... Not sure if it was intended to be 'finger' painting, or just that she got bored of using brushes to paint. Haha...

What are these 2 girls doing??!!

Lesson ended with snack time of course!

Quite alot of activities squeezed into a 2-hour lesson eh? Haha..

According to the nursery auntie, Joey looked very exhausted when she reached back office. Hahaha! I guess she enjoyed herself and really focused on the learning. =) It's a good sign.
