GO Green? What do the children learn?

As a caring and responsible kindergarten , we believe that we need to educate children from young on how to take care of our environment, so that they can have a better place to live in when they grow up. Thus, QQ has included go green syllabus this year and children as young as 2 years old are exposed to the knowledge of reduce, reuse and recycle!

After few months of implementing the class, we found that children can "advise" their parents on saving energy, telling their parents the earth is sick, we need to do something, do not simply throw rubbish, recycle paper, switch off the light if not in use, switch off the electrical goods and not on standby mode!

See what other things they do in the school........

1. Recycle paper and plastic- children bring the paper, plastic bottle from the house and throw into our recycle bin. These will be donated to Tze chi!

2. Reuse- Using the rice bag to make bag!Creative!

3. Reuse- using the plastic bottle to make pen holder- unique and practical!

4. Saving 500ml water every time you flash the toilet! Imagine if you use the flash 10 times a day, you have save 5 liter water per day. Especially in our school, children actually going in and out of the toilet, it is a big saving !

6. Reuse the empty can to make pen holder. Creative and very unique!

Is test important for preschool?

在QQ， 我们一向来都注重全方位成长，考试只是评估在班上的学习的吸收力，除了学术，幼儿时期，更重要的道德与品行。让孩子在幼儿园就学习一年级的课程，就是拔苗助长，对孩子根本没有好处，反而让他们失去了宝贵的时间去经历他们应该学习的东西！孩子在幼儿园可学到很多的东西，创意，自立，社交，解决问题等等，这都是让小孩们更有信心的上小学！家长们， 抽一些时间阅读以下的文章，考试真的很重要吗？

Vision Screening By Vista Eye Specialist

Children happy with the bags given by Vista!

Can you tell me what is that number?

Every one has a bag!

Can you see any number in this picture?

Can you match the number you see on the board?

Children's ability to see greatly impacts their ability to learn. Screening is intended to facilitate early identification and diagnosis of disease and functional disorders. Hence, QQ has arranged Vista to do a vision Screening for our children on last Wednesday 23.3.2011.

From the screening results, we have found 6 children need to go for further evaluation! This is important as recently, we have a new student joining our Joy in Learning Primary after school care programme was diagnosed with lazy eyes. The doctor said that it started as early as 3 years old! Nobody including the parents noticed the child has vision problem. Imagine, how she learn all these years with poor vision and everything is blur. Until recently when she join our programme, we found that she has difficulty in copying words from board. So, we suggested to the mother to send her for checking then only we knew that she has developed lazy eye!

So parents, if you see your child straining his/her eyes while watching TV or play game, better bring them for check up!

Besides that, there is one student who request to do colour blind test and luckily, he is normal!

In QQ, we always care for your child and that's why this screening is arranged! We hope that parents will appreciate our effort! Special thanks also goes to Ms. Yap and Ms. Ching, optometrist from Vista who performed the screening for us!
