<font color="aa00aa"><u>GUG -- how I feel</u></font>
hmmm.. i quite like it.. and i really understand now why they can proudly proclaim and patent their zoo-phonics success. it is certainly very refreshing and shows evidence of planning in the creating of the zoo-phonic system..that to me.. was the highlight, and by far the most impressive part, for the day..
<u>First half of lesson</u>
- small wonder audrey's son has superior pronunciation compared to kids their age. and again small wonder GUG can so yaya-ly say their zoo phonics is that good.. coz they really repeat it again and again for the first half of the lesson! and i must say they did it well. Though some animals they chose to represent the animals a bit unconmoon for our babies.. like Yak for Y, ..and irish worm (??) for I.. ehh. can't remember.. but still good attempt to increase vocabulary for our bbs lah.
thouugh the primary approach here is using flash cards.. but they brought it one level higher.. to include ryhmes, emphasis (on starting letters and sounds), animal association and matching/identification of animals on the wall by bbs.. was there some actions ah? ya. i think have right? i recalled the action for the elephant.. ya.. have actions.. so aside from just flashing the cards and that is.. they killed 4 birds with one stone! in one activity!! wah,.. impressed. ..
- first 15 mins used to explore the toys they have.. ehh. nothing much there.. maybe is just to wait for all to come.. and settle down. but maybe because we all very familiar with one another. i felt the environment was very conducive.. and indeed they have their house rules set and implemented very clearly. heehee.. poor daddies/mummies not in the room can only peep from a narrow glass slit .. haha
- movement and gross motor was a bit lacking.. maybe their emphasis was not that.. so only have tunnel play.. and teaching the mummies the creative use of tunnels vertically (playing peek-a-boo, never thought of that.. hahaha. not bad lah. quite creative).. and of course crawling thru it.. then allow bbs to crawl or play peek-a-boo. quite similar to gymboree PLAY classes.. nothing much there...
- reading of boardbook. i was distracted by teng.. and i really never pay attnetion to that. can't remember the story.. and draw any possible assoications.. hmm. but was good try.. need to teach our bbs to sit thru story telling.. will be useful when they go higher up.. kindergarten or nusery.. sure have this kind of storytelling. in primary school.. they stilldo that? i not sure.. but not bad training..
- numeracy, teaching bbs to count.. with an activity. i forgot liao.. coz i was busy prising teng's pudgy fingers open to count.. !! again a lot of repetition.. haha.. but good lah..got some banging of mat, wave byebye, what else? forgot.. but i think all these included to develop the coordination of our bbs..
- then intro the animal of the day.. i was like wondering how come introduce gorilla? .. SO that was the letter of the day , 'G'. .so Gregro the Gorilla..the peeling of the banana (grrrr..) [but how come peeling of banana will get grrrr sound ah?], Green flavouring.. (and when cornflour mixed with green solution)--> Goo.. wah. not bad. again empahsis and repetittion.
- then exprimential play using the green solution and cornflour.. i like it a lot . it introduced physic.. (but still tied to 'G' theme for the day).. powdery cornflour, diffusion of green colouring in water (showing to the bbs, teng was STARING at the water turn colour.. i think all bbs were staring at it?} , green solution, then goo (cornflour mixture.. -- did they choose cornflour for a purpose? to produce the gluey goo? coz corn flour can do that.. other flour not as gluey goo?).. then let the bbs play. as thought it was VERY messy. they still inisit on letting the bbs do that.. i think it is good attempt. coz many educators/orgs often shy from implementating things which are too messy.. i think teng was fascinated with the cornflour mixture.. Rae and YT both 'no manners liao'.. haha. keep splashing me the mixture.. teng like boss. (star commented). dipped one pudgy hand test test onli.. then SUCK! so. he was the only bb who tasted the cornflour! haha. taste.. another lesson which he learned.. whahahaa. but he very cute with the cornflour stains around his mouth. i think YT wanted to bathe in it liao!!! right mejo??.. whahaha..
<u>second half of lesson</u>
mood spoilt by the bimbo..
but nonetheless.. quite fun..
star pointed out got live music accompaint. not pre-recorded..not bad.. but the action and stuff very similar to kindermusik lah..
ceiling got dangling stars. teng kept wanting to pluck them down.. and keep lifting his head to see them..huge mirror to reflect.. let bbs see their reflections..--good stimulation..
<u>quality of faciilatators</u>
i think they were relatively enthu without sounding fake.. def very well rehearsed.. and also firm.. had to tell the mummies to show good examples .. and focus on the teachers.... aiya. we all so naughty. SQ will scold us, never pay attention to teachers.. hhaaa.. so in a way, they were not afraid to be firm to deliver the lesson. i find that commendable. they could also control the class well. and appeared composed.. quite good..
we had teacher fairuz (she has ABRSM theory and is the head of music) to play the keyboard for us.. the other teacher has also a cert in preschool education.. so there was quality in the faciliators..
all in all. i like the class. i find that it is very coherent.. and def. very strong evidence in planning and the thought behind the design of the curriculum.. the deans.. (with their masters in education) reallhy know the pysche of pre-schoolers to involve so much repeition.. i had reservations abt the 1.5 hour. i thought it was too long iniatially but was actually quite fast paced. teng despite badly deprived of sleep did enjoy himself and didn't have time to fuss..too much.. and i think almost all the bbs had their eyes glued to gregro the gorilla when he made his appearance..
think GUG is not bad..
my two cents worth

forgot to tell u, i had fun playing hi-5 with Tian, she's very happy playing with me too!
kkekeke no need to thank me pls...just want to have fun. i would really love to have the kids interacting with each other in the next one. in classes, we have to 'force' them to concentrate. in our past gatherings, we makan most of the time, more like adult gatherings, chitchatting, leaving the babies little time to mingle.
oh ya let your hubby talk to your ILs better...dun worry, i dun find it cruel at all. everyone is entitled to their own choice and I believe you make the choice for the best of your family.
QQ
u and me same, we are not 'green hands' - is this wat they call pple who are good wif plants?
Mejo
leia licks sometime, but its the way YT licks that's very funny, she really stick out her tongue all the way out to lick the mirror...kekke..she may be a good french kiss kisser next time
today is the first time i saw Leia walking so many steps! maid told me she started walking a bit but i didnt get to see, quite surprised bcos she didnt get to cruise a lot in aunt's place due to limited space but they do bring her to the playground to cruise and play a bit.
I think she got bolder in the class, esp after seeing andrew..aiya the 2 of them very cute lah, kept getting 'hinted' by the instructress to stop their lovy-doviness
Astro
i was still whispering to Star 'see see' then Star replied " yes yes im looking"...HHAHAH it was then that i realised she was indeed staring...alamak cannot help it...i want to laugh and roll now
ok GUG...i cant compare to Kinder, but definitely better than gymboree trial class which is mostly physical activities.
The story-telling part - i couldnt catch the story and i find it a bit too advance for the kids ??? beats me.
they have 2 instructress, wonder whether it'll be the same in the real class..can see that both of them make a lt of efforts in coordination?
the gorilla 'puppet' part...err...the gorilla looks a bit scary..didnt seem to capture the kids' attention? oh the names of animals, a bit tough rite?
guess they enjoyed the flour session most...i find it quite interesting...
other than that, its the usual single and carrying baby up and down which im terribly afraid of...tiring and bad for back kekkee

bbmouse: think this is trial class for the weekend class..(right, <font color="aa00aa">pink?</font>) regarding ur qn on smiliarity/difference between Gifted bbs and weekedn mums and bbs class. i think the difference is the depth and intensity?.. coz gifted bbs more time..somore scope/activities can be covered.. ? .. while for the weekend class. website did say it was meant to be more exciting to stimulate the bbs.. hmm.. that's was all they say leh. i think similar lah. can't be TOO different..

like wat u said they were teaching words like
Gregro the Gorilla..the peeling of the banana (grrrr..) Green flavouring.. (and when cornflour mixed with green solution)--> Goo.. do u find it a bit too tough for infants less than 18mths?
i was saying
The story-telling part - i couldnt catch the story and i find it a bit too advance for the kids ??? but leia actually sat thru this particular session, watch and listen. beats me.
you have already signed up with kinder rite? u want to sign up for GUG too? i find tat Leia cant concentrate in class, she's disturbing other kids most of the time
i wonder whether she will benefit from the course

Astro, Pink: I'm confused now. If sign-up for the weekend class, does this mean you won't be sending your child to the weekday classes when he/she is 18mth old? I'm more keen on the playgroup lessons. But the cirriculum described sounds very interesting, I don't mind joining in the meantime - of course I think I'll get my maid to attend most of the time, cos I think quite siong leh.
YY,
Agreed with you that the GUG is quite structured. Then hor the teachers also more strict with the rules then the ones in Kindermusik. At first, I look at the toys which some were quite dirty and the floormat, also not very clean, I'm like "the interior is quite different from the exterior leh". Then YT also not very attentive to the 2 teachers. Maybe because she is either cranky because not enuff sleep or there is no singing at the beginning. But I think after a while she warmed up liao and can pay more attention though she liked to crawl to the middle right in front of the teacher and sit there instead! Amazingly the 1.5 hours passed quite fast although I'm quite tired and starting to have a headache building up. Will there always be two teachers in class?
Yes, YT is about to bath in the goo already. She plays like that with her bath water at home. Splash splash splash!
Yvonne,
Please post the photos of bel's and YT's dirty faces! I din have my cam with me so your hb took some pics.

pink: hmmm. i think they wanted to expose the bbs to a greater variety of sounds and words.. and bbs learn the fastest in the first three years.. so i think that was why they tried to intro such words.. in any case,, when bbs take in words and such. they dun take it in progressively. as in from the easiest to the hardest.. they take it in when they are exposed to it repeatedly.. because bbs learn by association.. i think.. still manageable
story telling. i dunno. i can't remember hte story at all.. see? u still say leia cannot sit still. she sat thru the whole story telling ah!
i nt very sure.. got to think abt it.. and maybe do some research. attend more trial. i am very certain that i want to send teng to a playgroup.. gug is quite good. there might be better ones.. so still thinking..
leia where got keep distracting other bbs.. i think she ok lah. active.. is good.. and concentration needs to be taught and trained..
she WILL benefit from the course lah. see? she can sit thru the most 'boring' part leh -- story telling.. .. wah.. u should be very proud of her ah!

Yar lor. Last time she tried to lick the metal railings when we dragged her away, can still see her sticking out her tongue to try to reach! Terrible ah. Her tongue really dexterous though, can twist 360 degrees one. From young already she thinks her tongue very power, last time when she still can't lift her head, she thinks can use tongue to lift cuz she sticks it out and try to lift her head with her tongue!

Pinkpink,
Hmm, oh it is about them crossing a bridge guarded by a troll to eat some nice juicy grass on a hill. The troll threatened to eat the goat but each one kept saying the other one coming up behind is bigger and a better feast but by the time the last goat came, it is a big billy goat which rushed the troll with its horns. The troll fell off the bridge and the billy goats were never troubled by it again. I noticed that they were not exactly reading word for word from the book though and they did try to add in sound effects for the story telling.

BabY Girl: Rae also rock back and forth while dancing..she loves to dance "violently" backa nd forth while standing in her cot holding the cot bars.
Rae first word is "Bear"..she loves to look at bear.. i think the B sound/words are easiler for our baby.
Let me finish archive and i will be give MY feedback on GUG.

Before i cont with the archive.. i think Rae over stimulated liao. She woke up and cried so badly at 10pm just now.. kept on crying and crying and finally puke all her dinner and last milk feed out. so terible...i had to clean her up and change the bed sheets and she kept crying non stop. Now finally asleep. I think she is exhausted. Def cannot arrange for 2 clasess in a day for her.
