NEGARAKU

Every Monday mornings, we have our preschool assembly at 9am sharp. The children will gather in the assembly hall where they stand in line, just like how they would do in school one day. This is to get them aquainted and familiar with school assemblies next time when they actually go to school.

We teach the children to sing Negaraku, our natinoal Anthem. For their first time singing negaraku, the children of course did not know about standing up straight, but we let them off easy because its their first time. First learn the song we thought, then gradually we will teach them to stand straight to show respect to the national anthem.











Next they were taught to sing the school song.

The songs colorfully prepared on pieces of cloth. (I have just been told they have upgraded the songs to be shown on the lcd projector)

The new horizon school song was composed by the teacher you see teaching in this picture.

All in all I think the children did well and are a great bunch of kids. We are very baised, we know.

Coordination and movement

In teaching and educating, we believe in a balance. Educating the mind is important but to educate the body is also important. For this we have Physical Ed and "Music and Movement" subject. It both gives them exercise as well as confidence when carrying one's self. The children were visibly excited once they were given mini tambourines and Rattles.















Led by the Teacher, the children tested their timing in music and practiced to follow the rhythm of the music.

Some of them were quite coordinated with their musical instruments and some of them showed talent in moving with the music.











The whole class lasted for about 20 minutes to 30 minutes. In the end the children really enjoyed this class because I guess they could play while studying.
