It's been a while since Renee's come home with the announcement of a school project(which I used to dread) but this time round, this school's quite different(so far their projects are so much more interesting as compared to her prev kindy) - they're more to kids' capability level which would allow the kid(s) to take on the task more independantly, which I feel should be the main purpose of these home projects/assignments.
Before the September school holidays, they were asked to bring pictures of food to the school since the topic was on the food pyramid and the day before the holidays, she came home with this, plus all the work she's done at school :
Last week, they were each required to bring an insect to school on Monday and papa helped her to 'catch' a red ant(quite big) during his Sunday golf game, lolz. However, the ant didn't quite survive and died when we got home from our outing. Renee was afraid to bring it to school, as the teacher had informed them to bring 'live' insects. As we do not have enough time to catch another, I told her that it's ok, she could try explain to the teacher(s) that the ant was indeed alive when it was caught but it somehow didn't survive whilst being captive(in a box). She came home today happy 'cos she wasn't reprimanded :) (well, I guess we all know that this would happen when we capture insects, :>). The next thing they have to do was, to go onto internet to source for info on Ants. She was supposed to just copy down the information gathered so papa guided her on which part to extract from the notes they've found and 'cos papa had accidentally printed all the pages than what's really needed, she took the initiative to decorate her notes with the pictures found on the pages and we kinda like the idea of it! :
