Blast-off to the Little Planet Playland

Introducing…
The Little Tots Class and Teachers
In…
Blast-off to the Little Planet Playland!

One lovely Friday morning, at Niwa Schoolhouse…
The Little Tots were going on a big trip today. The teachers had packed their bags and were ready to go.

Little Tots: Wow! What a huge bus to take us on an excursion!
Goodbye, Niwa Schoolhouse, see you soon! Where do you think the little tots were going today?

IMG_0099

Tian Ming: Safety first!

IMG_0104

Tricia: Pretty little faces on-board!

IMG_0108

Seven: This bus ride is awesome!

IMG_0114

Desiree: How far can it be to reach The Little Planet Playland??

Every class probably goes on field trips to different places to learn a thing or two.
But not every class has opportunities like the Little Tots.

Yes, it’s The Little Planet Playland, the newest children indoor playground where the Little Tots’ imaginations came alive!

At the entrance of the premise….

Little Tots: So preeetty! There’s a RAINBOW right here at the doorstep!

Hello and welcome to The Little Planet Playland!

Little Tots: This must be the coolest playland in town!

Our first stop was on ‘Old MacDonald’s farm’ where we busied ourselves with the digging and scooping of ‘dirt’ off the ground using the gardening tools provided.

Bloss: There’s a black and white cow going moo…moo…moo….

Jayden: What cute nose you have, bumble bee!

IMG_0153

Seven: I can manoeuvre a wheel barrow freely!

It was certainly a very busy day at Old MacDonald’s.

The Little Tots’ next stop was ‘The Supermarket’ where our ‘farmers’ were so occupied with the packing and storing away of foods that they have reaped earlier. Can you see how neat these fruits were being arranged?

IMG_0154

Bloss: I can sort according to the types of fruit.

img_0160_22547045461_o

Jia Hui: Here are the red apples.

img_0168_22547047071_o

Tricia: I just came back from the bakers’!

img_0188_22547050451_o

Desiree: Excuse me, do you know where I could find the lettuce?!?

The Little Tots were right down on the riverbank. There was a boat sailing in the middle of the stream. The Little Tots were having fun fishing and reeling up the line!
One, Two, Three, four Five…. Once we caught some fish alive!

IMG_0177

Jayden: Ahoy, mates! Do I look like a cute little fisherboy here?

IMG_0180

Desiree: This seat looks like a good spot to picnic.

IMG_0193

Seven: What a rewarding fishing trip this has been!

img_0172_22522364932_o

Jayden: I prefer catching fish with my bare hands!

img_0167_22347926630_o

Seven: To market. To market. To sell some big fish!

img-20151016-wa0002_22509923366_o

Desiree: Don’t you think these Fuji apples look very fresh and juicy?

Now the Little Tots were going to the restaurant after a hard day at work.

There was a wide range of delicious cuisine in this restaurant – just observe how these ‘little chefs’ cooked and prepared the foods.

IMG_0215

Bloss: I’m preparing some sashimi for the diners.

img_0212_21913124474_o

Bloss: A cup of cappuccino for the fine lady over there.

img-20151016-wa0013_22509923526_o

Seven: Whipping some fresh cream for the Iced Mocha!

Meanwhile on the other side of the Planet Playland…

IMG_0217

Jayden: What are the rest of the astronomers doing over there? I’d better go check it out!

img_0197_21914682923_o

Seven: Weeeeee! This red slide is so fun to ride on!

img_0202_22547054211_o

Desiree: My turn! My turn!!

IMG_0205

Desiree: This is like the best slide EVER!

img_0204_21913137144_o

Jia Hui: I couldn’t agree more with you, Ree!

IMG_0198

Tricia: Oh! I’m almost late for my duty!

An energetic Tot and her many aspirations.

img_0207_22349046229_o

Tricia: You have no idea how heavy this shield is.

img_0208_22347921570_o

Tricia: When would my noble steed arrive?

The Little Tots bade goodbyes to Planet Playland after a smashing good time there.

IMG-20151016-WA0014

Little Tots: Let’s get some sunshine while we await for our ‘spaceship’.

Back on Earth ……

With all the Renowned Celebrities at Madame Tussauds Singapore

During young children’s early years, it is imperative to instill a positive attitude towards learning and encourage them to always look forward to many learning experienes in their daily lives.

In the past weeks of Term 4, the older Niwa-ians had ‘travelled’ to different parts of the World in their ‘jet plane’.
