Fun way to teach mixing clours.




Take the child's hand and dip it in red paint, then dip the other hand in yellow paint. ask the child to rub hands together and see what colour he/she gets after rubbing hands together. It should be 'orange'. Repeat with different colours. Blue and yellow makes green, and blue and red makes purple.

Botany: Planting a seed







Learning about seeds and plants. The Seniors planted a seed and learn about the life cycle of a plant. We used worksheets made by Montessri For Everyone. Their worksheets are really good and detailed. They have a wide range of worksheets that would be great for any lesson in a M0ntessori School.

Nature Jars


A great idea to bring nature into the classroom. Collect some jars, and fill them with seed, shells, leaves, twigs and other items you can think of. Display them on a shelf. Introduce them to the children. Their curious minds will appreciate it!

Mid-Autumm Festival

Also known as the Lantern festival. The children made lanterns and moon-cakes. They were so excited as the moon-cakes turned out well. We sold some at the Coffee Shop opposite the school. :)

Hari Raya

*yummy*
We recently celebrated Hari Raya with the children at school. They dressed up in traditional Malay costumes and ate traditional Malay dishes. Some of them could even sing the 'Selamat Hari Raya' song.

School Trip to Aquaria KLCC

We had learned about sea creatures for the whole month of August and it was a real good experience for the children to visit the Aquaria and finaly see the sea creatures in their habitat. An unforgetable experience. They are still taking about their trip.

International Day

International Day. A day to get together and celebrate our different cultures. Everyone came dresses in their traditional costumes and all the moms brought a traditional dish to share with each other while the children put on a show for the parents. They performed traditional dances and the girls even did a hula dance. They looked so adorable.

Arts and crafts

Arts & crafts is one of their favorite activities. Messing around with glue, paint & glitter. They couldn't ask for more!

Mother's Day

The children baked these special cupcakes for their moms.

My Mommy Cuddles Me
My mommy cuddles me
kisses me, hugs me and misses me
pampers me, praises me, always
amazes me
Washes my clothes for me,
tickles my toes for me,
giggles and talks with me,
and also goes on walks with me,
Says "sweet dreams" to me,
Sings sweet songs to me,
I am glad she belongs to me.
