K pestered me to go for a gym class trial, which is an enrichment class at the childcare centre that happens every Thursday for 45 mins and costs S$20+ per session. Since the trial is free, I told him to … Continue reading →

Thoughts that ran through my head as I looked through the timetable … A lot less Chinese lessons that the older brother. Letterland! This is something that T already likes (Clever Cat is his fav this week) so I’m sure … Continue reading →

K wrote and drew something related to farmer brown (whoever that is) today. He can’t read most words yet and definitely can’t spell so this passage was copied off a piece of paper that the teacher wrote for him. Though … Continue reading →

Learnt from the science teacher that on Monday, the children were introduced to different materials like plastic, metal, glass, and wood. Though when I asked Kaizer what he learnt, he said “I don’t know”. To help him retain the information … Continue reading →

Managed to sneak a peek at Kaizer when his science class was in session today. It’s the only enrichment class in school that he’s willing and interested to attend. Today’s the third lesson already. For the first lesson, he was … Continue reading →

Last week I happened to catch part of the gym enrichment class in session when I picked up the boys from school. Am glad I didn’t sign Kaizer up for the class, because the obstacles that were set up looks … Continue reading →
