Jing Jing International Kindergarten

Time has flown by, and just like that, it's time to say goodbye and best wishes to all our graduates! We are incredibly proud of our Kindergarten and all the amazing students who have blossomed throughout the year. It has been a true joy to witness the growth in confidence and independence as each week passed. To all our students moving on to 'BIG' school—remember that Jing Jing will always hold a special place as your first school. Cherish the many achievements and the wonderful friendships you’ve made along the way. We are so proud of everything you’ve accomplished during your time with us. Wishing you all the best as you embark on the next stage of your educational journey!

At Jing Jing Kindergarten, our team of Early Childhood Educators believes that creating warm and welcoming spaces is key to supporting the unique diversity among our children. We strive to teach them the value of individuality and how our differences make us all special. When children learn to embrace who they are and appreciate others, it fosters confidence, self-esteem, and an understanding attitude. This week, we’ve turned our focus to inclusivity and the beauty of our differences.The children have had so much fun exploring what sets them apart. They experimented with colours to create beautiful crafts as a class, shared stories about their families, and what makes everyone different, drew self-portraits, and reflected on what makes them unique. On Friday, our school burst with colour as the children proudly wore their favourite outfits, showcasing what makes them feel special and confident. It’s truly heartwarming to see their joy and self-expression!

During our weekly cookery class, the children not only learn to bake and cook but they also have numerous opportunities to engage in sensory activities. Sensory play is vital for young children as it fosters brain connections, aids emotional regulation, and enhances motor skills. Engaging with playdough brings a wealth of benefits. It helps improve physical abilities and sparks creativity, both of which are essential during early childhood. By manipulating the playdough—squeezing and rolling it—children develop their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Additionally, playdough allows them to express their thoughts and ideas by crafting various shapes and figures. This interactive activity encourages imagination. Overall, playdough play contributes significantly to children’s physical growth and creativity, setting a strong foundation for more complex learning as they continue to develop.

This week has been a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our dedicated caregivers and helpers. Our students took the time to show their love and appreciation for those who play essential roles in their daily lives. They invited these incredible individuals to school for morning tea and engaged in meaningful conversations throughout the week about the many ways they support us. Each student prepared thoughtful gifts and cards as tokens of thanks. We especially want to acknowledge our hardworking custodial staff—Auntie Eva, Auntie Kelly, and Auntie Pinky—who tirelessly maintain our facilities and ensure a clean and safe atmosphere for everyone. Their commitment is crucial in keeping our community healthy. Additionally, we extend a heartfelt thank you to our Bus Auntie, Amy, and Bus Uncle, Cow, for safely transporting our students to and from school each day. We are truly grateful to have such a supportive community surrounding us!

Join us tomorrow from 9:30 to 11:30 AM for our final Open Morning of the academic year. Tomorrow we will welcome many new prospective parents to explore our school and meet our wonderful educators. Walk-in registration welcome!It’s also a fantastic chance for current parents in our Jing Jing community to come and admire your child’s incredible artwork and crafts on display in the classrooms—It’s going to be a wonderful morning! We can’t wait to see you there!

This week, we came together to celebrate World Teacher Appreciation Week, with our students and their parents taking the time to recognize the amazing dedication of our teachers. A sincere thank you to our entire community for supporting Jing Jing and for the thoughtful gifts, cards, and kind messages shared during this meaningful week. The outpouring of appreciation truly touched our teachers' hearts.

This week at Jing Jing, we had the pleasure of inviting mummies into our School to read with their children and their classes. It was a lovely way to express our gratitude for all the support they provide. Wishing everyone a very happy Mother's Day!

Today was truly a celebration of community spirit at our annual Sports Day! The Jing Jing atmosphere was electric, with students, parents, grandparents, and caregivers all coming together to create a fun and energetic environment. In the weeks prior, everyone dedicated time to prepare and practice for the big day. The competitive spirit among the parents was particularly evident during the parents' races, adding an extra layer of excitement to the event. Thank you to all the teachers whose hard work and enthusiasm ensured a memorable experience for our students. If you take a moment to browse through the photos, you'll see the joy reflected in every smile!
