Through a variety of fun and engaging gross motor activities, the ChildFirst @ Hillview N1 children had an amazing time running, jumping, crawling, and exploring through play! 🏃‍♀️✨

These activities help strengthen their gross motor skills, coordination, balance, and body awareness, while also encouraging focus, perseverance and the confidence to take on new challenges. As they move, play and learn together, our little ones are also developing teamwork, resilience and a lifelong love for active and healthy living. 💪🌈

本周，才儿坊（ChildFirst@Tampines）N2班的小朋友们开展了一场充满趣味与挑战的筷子操作活动。活动中，孩子们两人一组，用筷子夹起纸杯进行挑战，在合作完成任务的过程中，锻炼手眼协调能力、手部控制力及专注力。随后，孩子们进一步挑战使用单根筷子挑起纸杯并进行整理收纳，在不断尝试与调整中提升精细动作技能。

透过这类富有意义的游戏体验，幼儿不仅能够发展小肌肉能力，也在互动中学习合作、轮流与分享，培养积极的学习态度与社交能力。每一次专注的尝试，每一个认真投入的瞬间，都是孩子成长路上珍贵的足迹。我们将继续通过丰富多元的探索活动，陪伴孩子在游戏中学习，在体验中成长。

The ChildFirst @ Tampines N2 children took part in a fun and engaging paper cup activity designed to strengthen their fine motor skills.

Working in pairs, the children used chopsticks to carefully pick up and transfer paper cups, developing their hand-eye coordination, hand control, concentration, and teamwork skills as they collaborated to complete the task. To extend the challenge, they were encouraged to use just a single chopstick to lift and sort the cups, allowing them to further refine their fine motor control through hands-on exploration, repeated practice and problem-solving.

Through meaningful activities like these, children not only build essential small muscle strength and coordination, but also learn valuable social skills such as cooperation, turn-taking and sharing. Every focused effort and moment of persistence reflects an important step in their learning journey.

We look forward to provide more rich and meaningful learning experiences that encourage our children to learn through play and grow through exploration.
