Tweedle Wink

Before I forgotten all about Tweedle Wink, I thought I should write down here what's being taught in the class for anyone who's interested in sending their child to Tweedle Wink.

The class begins with  "I Love You" song.

You are my child, I love you so,
just look in my eyes and you will know,
You make me smile, you make me sing,
I know with love you can do anything.

Next, teacher will show the children a changing black and white picture on the TV.

Then, all the children will be given an optical pen to point to each of their eyes with the help of their parent. Just 3 seconds for each eye..

Sometimes, instead of optical pen, the teacher will show the children a cute toy which can make sounds. She'll move it here & there for eyes practice session.

In each class, teacher will cover different category. For eg, different types of horses, cats or dogs. Then teacher teaches them parts of the world on the map & globe, also 1 foreign language in 1 class, music, math, phonics, reading, basic science & famous art.

The part I love most is the music session. Teacher shows them a piece of music on the TV with the music played. After that she takes out the tuning fork to introduce certain notes to them or sometimes, she takes out a card with few music notes on it then asks the children to paste the notes accordingly. They also use rhythm sticks to learn to tap according to the music.

Phonics part, teacher will introduce 1 letter. Show on the TV how it's written while singing a song. Then ask the children to write on their piece of card. Later, teacher will show them few words starting with that letter and take out a toy to represent the word.

The math part, teacher will show dots & say the numbers on the TV. Then followed by addition, multiplication, division, subtraction on TV then using her cards.

There's also a session to play with the yoga ball for about 5 minutes.

Lastly, the class will end with a good bye song:
(can't remember well, i think it's something like this..:S)
Now it's time to say good bye,
everytime we do we set others free,
we learn to sing, to dance, to play with joy, big joy, great joy..

..and they hug teacher before leaving the room...
