GREETINGS!

Dear Parents,


 

Let's get to know us better first!

      We are a group of undergraduates (Joyce, Gui Ling and Joanna) from Wheelock College, Singapore, who are currently enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Educational Studies and Leadership. In response to Prime Minister Lee's speech during National Day Rally 2012, we are embarking on an advocacy project which we aim to advocate for children to have their childhood. View the video below if you have missed the speech by PM Lee:



 

What's the PLAN?


     In this space, you can expect to find various theme-related (i.e. Nature, Do-It-Yourself, Healthy Lifestyle) activities which you can do with your child. The activities will provide opportunities for your child to have fun while learning and at the same time encourage you to spend quality time with your child. Our channel will be updated every Monday and Thursday over a period of three weeks.
      

For week 1, the activities will be related to Nature. SO... stay tuned to our upcoming FIRST post “Let it bloom”, an activity which you and your child will enjoy doing at home on                25 February 2013.
 



Social Network


     We have set up a Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/Iwantmychildhood and we invite you to visit it for more updates. We look forward to working and interacting with you! 

Here’s a clip for you to enjoy:
 
 

REFLECTION TIME!

Some questions for you to ponder:
1) Do you enjoy your childhood?
2) What are some of your childhood memories?
3) How do you think you can let your children enjoy their childhood?
*Come! Share with us what you think and feel by leaving a comment(s)
 
 
Yours truly,
Joyce, Gui Ling and Joanna

 
Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learningPlay is really the work of childhood.
